Mayweather vs Pacquiao

[quote=HiFromBuddha]My mind is telling me Mayweather, but my body, my boooodyyyy is telling me Pacquiao. Either Pacquio is going to slug it through the full rounds, or he's going to get his ass beat in a few seconds in my opinion. Also, that really doesn't flow as well as it first sounded.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger][quote=TheSilverDust][quote=Ninja Trigger] Pacquiao has plans to run for president in the Philippians for 2019?[/quote] The elections for president will be on May 2016, which will be next year. And I think he will run for president in 2022 or so. But if the rumors are true, that would be a big "NO NO" for me. Him being a politician was sort of... disappointing. He would still be okay as a philanthropist or mostly as a boxer, but as a politician, uhmm... no. Still, his fight against Mayweather would be a blast. [h4]Mayweather is the "[[Teemo]]" of the boxing industry[/h4][/quote] My bad I should have double checked that before posting.

[quote=TheSilverDust]Boo-hoo, Pacquiao lost! And Mayweather is still undefeated. Hmm... at least both put up a good fight. [h5]Mayweather used his elbows just to hit Pacquiao, right?[/h5][/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]They gave the win to him, because Pacquiao plans to run for President of a foreign country and they don't want him to be able to say that he beat an American Icon. It seems like the U.S can't get ahead of anything with international weight without rigging it. Floyd is a good fighter, but I can't believe that Floyd would actually beat PacMan.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]It was a very boring match, lets be honest.

[quote=BigBoxGamer]I'm not saying it's a conspiracy theory, that's just business. I mean, why else would ESPN higher ups not allow Tas Pappas go before Tony Hawk and attempt the 900 first and probably land it first? Because, the U.S wants to assert itself at any cost even if it comes to rigging it. But, this is way off topic so it ends here.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]So my power went out due to someone driving into a power line, I ended up missing the first 5 rounds of the fight, needless to say I was very upset at the time, I even called to power company to see why the power went out. I had no idea my attitude could shift so fast, below is basically how the conversation went with the power company. Them "Hello how may we help you?" They obviously sounded stressed Me "The power is out, WHY IS THAT!" I raised my voice like a jerk. Them "Someone drove their car into a power line" I went silent for a second Me "Oh no, I hope they are okay, did they need an ambulance?" people talking over my shoulder making it hard to hear the person on the line "Whats an ETA" Me "Well do we have an ETA on when the power may come back up?" I felt like crap for asking that. Them "We don't know yet, the lines are down and shooting sparks we have the Fire Department there now and power should be up soon, but we don't really have an ETA" Someone in the background "We paid a lot to watch the fight" Them "We know sir your not the only one upset about the fight we are doing our best to get the power back up" Me "Well I will be sending prayers their way, and good luck with all the other callers" Trying not to leave the call on a bad note, I would hate to be in their shoes, only to hang up and and receive a call from someone probably a lot ruder then me. Them "Thank you" I could hear a slight sigh of relief I normally hate calling tech support, or customer service but it was strange just how quick my attitude did an 180. Since I was steaming with anger before picking up the phone, only to look down and the ground and sigh when I hung up. So we all sat in the dark for 20 minutes talking till the power came back on. We did say a quick prayer for the person who drove into the pole, I do live in a small town so it wouldn't be unlikely if I end up reading the paper tomorrow and say "Hey I know that person" [quote=BigBoxGamer]They gave the win to him, because Pacquiao plans to run for President of a foreign country and they don't want him to be able to say that he beat an American Icon.

I have no doubt that Pacquaio is the better fighter, but in every single round Mayweather would just wait for Pacquiao to throw a few punches just to land a nice counter, then he would just run away till the buzzer rang. Pacquaio Fought for the knock out. Mayweather Fought for points. but that doesn't always win in boxing, Mayweather won, it sucks I don't like it, but it's what happened. I have never been into sports in my entire life, and the feeling of seeing your fighter/team loose is something I never felt before. [quote=Toshabi]It was a very boring match, lets be honest.[/quote] only the 7th and 8th round were really fun to watch, I didn't see the first 5 :( [quote=BigBoxGamer]They gave the win to him, because Pacquiao plans to run for President of a foreign country and they don't want him to be able to say that he beat an American Icon.

[quote=Toshabi]Which is what makes modern boxing events like these so boring to watch. I got to watch it for free at the casino I went to. If they didn't have slots nearby, I wouldn't have watched.[/quote]

Pacquiao couldn't secure his own winning conditions and let Mayweather have his way. I don't hold it against Mayweather for thinking only about the win instead of trying to give a good showing. It's one of the reasons he's still undefeated.[/quote]
