While Mayweather is the top of boxing the sport is dead. Its an absolute snooze fest.
Bring on Aldo vs. McGregor!

Gonna go watch Rocky to feel better
As someone who doesn't like boxing but saw bits of it I found it pretty boring. Mostly I couldn't believe how much money it generated for something that only lasted 36mins and was boring.
The 118-110 scorecard was ridiculous. No idea what fight that judge was watching. This is what happens when you let a fighter pick the judges. The boxing council should be picked both the ref and the judges and they should all be neutral. Mayweather just ducked Pacman all fight and did what he was always going to do and that's just counter him and stay out of his way. His should roll is impenetrable. Pacman did land some good shots and I though he caught him flush with one in the third round but Mayweather just tightened up his defence and with stood it. I had it 7-5 but I could see 8-4 on the scorecards as fair enough.
But for people that don't really pay attention to boxing, the super fight that was promised pretty much failed to live up to the hype. At least with Ali/Foreman, they belted this shit outta each other. That's what a lot of non boxing fans were expecting to see.
It blows my mind that people thought this would be a war. Anybody who watches boxing regularly knew that a Mayweather UD was likely.
And now lots of casual fans are saying boxing is dead. Yet they have probably never watched a Golovkin, Wilder, Alvarez, Provodnikov, Cotto or Matthysse fight in their lives...
It is like someone watching an origin game and thinking they are an expert on all aspects of Rugby League.
