I don't think he believes that he can't be Pacquiao, I think he knows it's a risky fight, and he's scared to risk tarnishing his record... And fuck, if you can fight guys you know you'll beat, and get 50 million for doing it, why not?

fixed... i really take that word seriously because it is such a serious detriment to the quality of life but i really really really dont like PBF... hes on my Eli Manning level *shudder*... the only reason he doesnt fight Manny is because he wants to stay undefeated imo.. but im more of a MMA fan than a boxing fan so i dont know as much

lol "if i was 50 years younger i would kick your ass" i beleive that. that announcer was awesome, they both did a dirty move but mayweathers was worse cuz ortiz had his hands lowered and was not protecting himself at all.

Mayweather was dominating and basically took no damage that I saw.
You could almost say that the fight ended on a headbutt DQ but you would have missed some of the funniest shit ever.
I think the last 20 min are ultimately more entertaining than a 9 rounds to 3 domination that we could have been on pace for.

Lets say Manny wins rubber match(or wtf u call it) with Marquez impressively. Imagine all the money involved. How could anybody turn that much money down.


This fight really killed the mood from the Ellenburger Ko.

WOW..I was shocked of what went down tonight.

Mayweather is the epitome of a DICK. It's almost shocking someone can be like that.

At first, the fight looked FABRICATED. It's like they agreed that on round 4, Ortiz was to rush Mayweather and throw a headbutt. Then after the ref breaks them up, Ortiz was to go up to Mayweather and say he is sorry. That is when Mayweather will one two him for a KO, while the referee is looking elsewhere while continuing the fight. YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU CAN'T ALLOW THE FIGHT TO CONTINUE AND BE LOOKING AWAY.

The first punch was impactful, but nothing serious as Ortiz was looking at the ref, kinda almost trying to say, "hey did u see that cheap shot?" and HE STILL KEEPS HIS HANDS DOWN and then Mayweather throws the second punch that KO's him out for sure...

The fight is then stopped and what does Ortiz do, NOT COMPLAIN. He's apologizing for the head butt? WAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT?

I'm telling ya'll, something smells fishy.

When you've got a couple hundred million dollars, a few million here and there won't matter when compared to satisfying one's ego and legacy.

When you've got that much money, and are as accomplished as Mayweather, finances take a back seat to pride.

Crossed my mind too, but the thought was fleeting, as it turns out that I don't really care all that much.

I think Ortiz was looking for a way out tbh,that's why he butted him in the first place,PAC will be different,I get what you're all saying about Floyd waiting for Manny to age,that's what he does.
I still think the odd angles,the ambidextrous power & the unrelenting cardio of Pacquiao will be too much for Floyd,plus he's still got enough speed to give Floyd problems,it's a real 50-50 fight IMO & that doesn't suit Floyd,that's why he's been ducking him for the last 2 years . PBF will be pulling all his dirty tricks in that one & if he gets DQ'd he'll say it's cos HBO & the refs hate him & didn't want Manny to beat him.
I think Floyds a great boxer but I just can't back him against Manny.
