hahaha.

I just watched the fight and will say again that Pacquiao is a beast! Mayweather has no chance (unless he decides to play chicken just like he did with Oscar).

Soooo... anyone have a working link of fight footage that isn't fail?

I recommend to EVERYONE here that you watch the HBO 24/7 Episodes on these guys. We watched like three of them immediately after the fight and absolutely loved them.

Mayweather Sr. seriously makes the show.

All this tangling is annoying to watch.

Every 3 punches they get tangled up for no apparent reason

I was pretty confident MP was going to win but never thought it would be that quick. Maybe 6th or 7th round but not in 2. As we all saw MP was on a whole different level. He knew it was going to be an easy win for him cause he had that big ass grin on his face before the fight.

And FMSr is a total douche bag. He arrived late to fight and just bailed on Hatton after he got KO'ed. You didn't even see him near Hatton after that. He even had the nerve to say that Hatton should just retire now.

Mayweather is probably practicing his dance steps already, which is the only way he's going to have a chance. But that's the way it is against fighters like pacquiao, you can't brawl him like hatton always tries to do with opponents. Mayweather needs the fight to last as long as possible so fatique might work in his favor.

That said, his combination of speed, power, and accuracy is terrifying. That fight could destroy the Mayweather brand.

meh. Lightweights love to beat the shit out of each other. Heavyweights are boring as fuck to watch though (usually)

I wonder what Pacman's paycheck was for that fight? Hope his promoters give him a good cut. Nobody needs a Don King.

no apparent reason??? did you how red Hatton's face was by the of the 1st round?

still love the shot of MP hittin Hatton's glove into his own face for the last knockdown of the 1st period...good stuff...

I can't remember the payout but MP's side wanted a 70/30 split but Hatton's side said 50/50 or no fight. They finally gave in so Hatton got a nice paycheck on this fight.

The report said Arum had confirmed Pacquiao agreed to a 52-48 split in his favor and a $12 million guaranteed purse.

Ok, so that's the purse, but what about all the other revenue from the PPV showings?
