Pacquiao vs Mayweather Official Thread...May 2nd!!!

[LauderdaleBoss]

Good thing I'm not a stan of either of these nikkas or I might feel a bit hurt over this

Exactly. I'm a big fan of each, but farrrrrrrr from being a stan of these nikkas. By the time the fight got made, I stopped caring as much because I still feel like we all got fleeced just for it to happen.

I know cats will disagree with me on this and I really don't give a fukk, but this fight/event deserved to be in that Dallas Stadium. With 100k seating, at least the actual fans would have been given a chance to witness history live in the actual arena itself. Not just on ppv at home or in some random bar on the strip.

It's rough being a hardcore boxing fan. The sport is always trying to fukk you over, but when it doesn't, man do you feel special.

Say this fight is for the fans.......and keep all the hardcore fans of the sport out the arena brehs

This is all about a spectacle. Highest sales of any and everything. That said, I highly doubt the average person could afford this fight for what the going rate is. Supply and demand. Demand is high, supply is limited. MGM is going to get paid. Gonna drive Oscar back to the blow and fishnets.

Breh, nikkas don't even show up to root for the cowboys. That's basically Canelo's stadium. Also, Floyd has a great relationship with the MGM. He wasn't going to fukk that up.

Biggest fight ever, deserves the biggest arena. Canelo got dikk to do with that shyt breh. I'm speaking as a fan. I don't care if Floyd is a majority shareholder at MGM or if he throws birthday parties there for his kids. I don't give a fukk.

The Manny/Floyd fight done turned everybody into business executives and promoters instead of boxing fans.

There is a level of high level pageantry/snobbery associated with the business aspect. As a fight, I can wholeheartedly get behind that. However, my line of work forces me to look at numbers so my mind is conditioned to think this way. Floyd got a judge to have a stay in his jail sentence to fight due to the amount of money he brings into the city. So, to that point, he's an industry driver onto himself. So, those tickets in Cowboy Stadium would still likely go to all of the high rollers and shyt to spare for the public and I'm sure Dallas is lovely, but it's no Vegas. That's the reality of the situation.

at nikkas not being able to ever discuss this fight without turning into business marketing executives and shyt.

I already know why the fight is in Vegas and I'm aware of Floyd's relationship with MGM. I'm just stating my opinion from the heart as a boxing fan. That's it. If you disagree with me on the venue fine. Just say so. No need for all that other business bullshyt you spewing. I'm not a casual fan. You've seen me post up an down in the Ring forum. I already know all that shyt you talking about. You don't have to take me by the hand and explain Mayweather boxing business 101 because it will fall on deaf ears.

Yeah Vegas is one of a kind, but big fights have taken place in other cities. That's all I'm saying.

Peace
