I'm not sure what time it started but I'm pretty sure I was sleeping before that

Didn't watch. Made no promises. More because had a full day of soccer, swim lessons, Bday parties, yard work and was sleeping sleeping long before it started.

Between 3 days of the draft, 3 LSU/MSU games, The Kentucky Derby, the end of the Clippers/Spurs game, and following the Fast Pitch 56 on Twitter (I had a couple of personal rooting interests), I was sportsed out by 9 p.m., so I gave my wife the TV.

Neither of these guys is great,and they are old. Guys like Duran and Leonard would have knocked these guys out.

My friends don't need a fight as an excuse to get together. Maybe you need better friends.

When's the last time you all got together? The Royal Wedding?

I haven't paid to watch a fight since Whitaker-de la Hoya. That fight was fixed and they stole my f'n money. I'll watch boxing on HBO and I'll go to a friend's house if its on, I'm not hard core about it, but I won't give boxing my money. And when I do break my streak, it won't be for some shitstain like Floyd Mayweather, who doesn't even fight. So a boring fighter and a terrible person? No thanks.

I didn't watch. People being upset afterwards that this fight was waste of money have apparently been completely unaware of Mayweather's entire career.

Pacquiao/Bradley 1 was the one that got me. Manny easily won 9 or 10 rounds and somehow lost the decision. I don't follow the sport that closely, but have seen Floyd a couple of times the last few years. So, I knew what was coming in terms of style and that it would be relatively boring to the average fan. All of that said, I plunked down the money since it is probably the last superfight for 10 years.

I actually was not disappointed. Floyd won convincingly enough that it told us what we needed to know and was not a setup for another payday. I wish these two geriatrics has fought five or ten years ago, but I don't think the result would have been different. I think Manny used to be stronger back then, but he may have been using something. Floyd would have just been even more elusive.

Floyd may be half a step slower but with his style and in his division he could fight another 5 years.

I'm glad this fight didn't happen in 2010 pac would have ended up like hatton

Yet you are the one who didn't watch one of the most talked about sporting events in a long time. Your wife must have chosen a lifetime movie for you guys to enjoy on Saturday night
