I didn't see the fight and glad I didn't get ROBed off my $$$ - like many; I was rooting for Pacquiao but felt Mayweather was gonna win (Mayweather is bigger *and* faster).
Manny is a small man by nature – he mentioned in an interview that he was only 4”11 and 98 lbs when he started boxing @ age 16 in the Philippines.
I got the munchies late last night around 1:00 a.m. and went to Taco Bell to get a quick bite; there was a line of about 15 cars in the drive-thru and was moving super-slow – left that Taco Bell and went by 2 other Taco Bells and the same shit – went by a 24-hr IHOP and it was packed – couldn't get a damn bite to eat with all the PLs out on the street presumably that were out to watch the damn fight – ended up having to go home empty handed and eating some crackers w/ butter – fucking ay.
Its not surprising it was lousy. They already made more than enough money, Manny's arm was fucked up. What reason did they have for trying to entertain the fans watching? They just wanted to get through the fight and get that money.
“... @Papi- you made a thread on how you were going to watch the fight at Toosties. You didn't end up doing that ...”
My thread was about watching the NFL draft @ Tootsies; not the fight.
I didn't really care for watching the fight since I felt it was just an over-hyped con where PLs are duped into paying up while a handful of people (boxers; promoters; etc) go laughing all the way to the bank.
I've seen a couple of fights @ Tootsies in the past and it was a madhouse (barely standing-room-only) and I had no desire to be part of that zoo on the night of the fight.

i'm only mildly into boxing; watching dudes fight isn't too thrilling to me.
i couldn't careless who won, but floyd is my most disliked athlete in all of sports........that's the ONLY reason i was cheering for manny
You really think those types care or need to care about the cost of anything? More power to them!
What did they expect? Defensive boxing and avoiding getting punchef is Mayweather's style. He never is going to come out and attack.
Mayweather avoided Pacquiao in his prime. But Pacquiao was likely using PEDs 5 years ago and refused to be tested.
