Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[The Big Dunn]

Add me to the list.

I wonder if MGM properties will allow it to be ordered in room? I'd just assume hit up a liquor store, charge $100 to the room, and watch it that way.

I doubt it dude.

They seem to have taken extra steps to cut out less expensive options.

No theater-forces ppv buys
High tickets/limited availability-forces fans in Nevada to closed circuit
Limit closed circuit to MGM properties- cuts out options you talked about in previous fights

charging bars/clubs 5 times the usual amount is messed up as well.

They are doing everything they can to make people buy this on ppv.

I mean, I'll buy the PPV. I don't care about that. It just seems like if I'm staying at an MGM Resort, then I should be able to order it in my room. They get the $100 either way.

But then they would be losing money since they are probably charging $200 for closed circuit.

It's like they are forcing fans to choose the most expensive option no matter what.

infant pacmonster has been developing his right hand and defense since '05

Pac talks a lot of crap. He didn't develop that right hand adequately until the 2nd Morales fight. Actually Pac's right hand leveled him up as a fighter times 2 or 3.

The promoters cant tell the MGM how to run their business.

If you order the PPV from your room the MGM gets nothing out of it.

Shit. I hadn't even thought of it like that.

Mayweather is the better fighter

But at the elite level, the adage that "styles makes fights" becomes more significant.

Floyd has had problems with:

- southpaw (Corley, Judah)
- fast (Judah)
- awkward (maidana)
- active (maidana, Castillo)
- variety of punching ( Castillo)
- cutting off ring (cotto)
- counter punching (Judah)
- combos (maidana)
- body punching (Castillo)

Manny has all of the above except:

- great jab (Oscar)

Problem IS: Manny doesn't cut off the ring very well. Even Freddie Roach said he followed Algieri way too much. And Manny isn't much of a body puncher, he's more of a head hunter.

And you have to include the things Manny has trouble with when trying to see how this fight will turn out.
He has issues with
-Movement (Marquez, Bradley, Morales)
-Counter Punching (Marquez, Morales, Bradley)
-Body Punching (The two guys who Ko'D him early in his career)
-A straight right hand lead (You already know why)

All of these Floyd has in abundance.

Floyd has overcome everything you listed while Manny hasn't always been successful overcoming the things I listed.
