StillUnknown Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Murray is showing a lot of heart. His corner needs to show the brains. No sense in letting that man take any more of a beating. Might be different if he had a weapon to hurt GGG, but he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Murray still landing some clean shots, although I suspect GGG stopped fearing any returns after the first punch or two Murray landed. This fight might convince some other fighters that GGG isn't as invincible as he seems. Dangerous line of thinking, but it could get GGG in with a big name.

NoCalMike Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Isn't Manny known for dropping his guard when he lunges in to attack? It doesn't hurt him against most of his opponents because they are fighters first, boxers 2nd. With someone like Floyd that kind of tendency is going to get Pac peppered at least 2-3 times before he even gets to Floyd. JMM KO'd Pac, and was razor-thin margin from victory in their other fights. Matching up the skill-sets, I think Floyd is the pick to with. Doesn't mean Pac can't win, but I believe Mayweather is too good to lose a fight that stylistically he should win.

StillUnknown Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 GGG-Cotto needs to happen Cotto don't want those problems at this stage of his career. Young Cotto would have gave no ****s and fought him, that Cotto died in the Margarito fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexx1240 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) I've seen some awful awful stoppages in my day. Some for obvious political reasons like records, streaks, etc... Now with that being said, def wasn't the case here. Good stoppage by the ref. Edited February 21, 2015 by Rexx1240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacquiao got careless against JMM. But I can definitely see why most think Mayweather would win. He is technically better, BUT, styles make fights.

DM72 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Honestly, what do u see in Manny and what don't u see in Floyd that makes u feel in your heart Manny gets the KO ?? Mayweather hasn't looked all that good as of late. He's losing the ability to avoid punches like he used to. He's still hard to hit, but not nearly as hard as a few years ago. Pacquiao has looked better. I understand he hasn't KO'd anyone in years, but we all know he beat Bradley twice and was taking it to JMM until he got careless. And let's be real, we all know JMM was on some **** that night. I think Pacquiao's demise has been exaggerated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's def 2 sides to this coin but why take the chance?? Maximize profits for all parties involved. Being as tho the fight won't live up to the hype, IF there is a rematch the numbers won't even sniff those of the 1st fight. But the build up has been long enough so i guess we shall see. . .

Kosher Ham Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't see the need to tour to promote fights these days. Each guy should do a one hour promo (costs less than doing a tour) , and show clips on commercials. The thing that bummed me out is that there are going to possibly be no available tickets for the public ? That's lame. Stating that makes me feel like there is even less of a need to promote it.

Rexx1240 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yea it's def a slap in the face. Even tho this is one way to maximize profit for them but i just feel like both the fighters & the promoters owe the fans a lil more than this.

I have no idea how big of an entourage the Pac has...but May runs over 20 deep. I know I could get tickets...but they would cost an insane amount. To me that would make the best seats in the house...in my house even for 100+ bucks. If I could get my hands on them from someone that didn't want to go that would be one thing...but unlikely. So I would have to pay in the area of 10k or more for 2 decent seats. If they did the promos combined with the commercials, you are promoting the fight, the promos, and the PPV.

DM72 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm sure you guys know that this is nothing new. Getting mega fight tix at face value is virtually impossible.

Face value is not an issue. They are talking 2500-3500 for the nose bleeds if not more. IF they are available. That's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think it's ridiculous too, but an event this big being held in a small venue like the MGM Grand, outrageously high tic prices were to be expected. I know they're building another MGM Grand, I hope it's much bigger than the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to be in the building for this one. I would consider the money made from flipping my ticket as a reward for dealing with all of boxing's bull****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
