How exactly would you get rich off of it?

Betting all the pac fans and mayweather haters, Pac has absolutely nothing for Mayweather, never has never will. I bet people on this fight but my funds were low so I only won a few hundred. If there's a rematch next year by then I'll have more $$$ free to bet and will invest every penny of it. I exaggerated on the being able to retire part, but if I have 20k saved up I'll double it.

Wouldn't bet a penny in Vegas though, I see Floyd being around -500 in a rematch which would be a shitty payout.

Manny backs him to the corner and might have landed a left before they clinch.
Three-punch combo from Manny, who tries to open up but gets clinched.
Manny rushes, landing with a right before getting clinched.
Pacquiao to the body, clinched.
Pacquiao rushes, clinched.
Counter right lands. Clinch from Floyd.
Clinch by Floyd.
Manny digs a left to the body. Clinch.
Straight left by Manny on the counter. Clinch.
Manny with a body shot as he's clinched; the ref admonishes Mayweather for holding.
Flurry by Manny, clinched.
Manny rushes, clinched.
Manny goes to the body, gets clinched.
Manny with a pair of lefts as Floyd circles out. Clinch.
..........

So, how does a boxer fight an opponent who continually clinches him after landing a shot? Does the true winner of a championship boxing match
clinch this often during the fight? In addition, why doesn't Compubox deduct points for clinching and constant evasion by one boxer from the more aggressive fighter?
.......

Compubox stats aside, we know who the aggressor was and we know who was dodging whom.

The dumbest part about boxing is that it's scored by rounds as opposed to the entirety of the fight. It's like if you won a baseball game by the number of innings won instead of the total runs.

Say the A's scored 10 runs in one inning the whole game, the Angels score 1 run in 3 innings, yet the A's score nothing more. His analogy means the Angels would win.

Except, baseball doesn't have 4 innings. The A's could score 10 runs in the first inning and the Angels would "win" the rest of the innings by scoring more, and thus win the game.

And the scoring system in baseball is entirely different.

Fighting is set up in rounds essentially for that purpose. Judging who was better over the course of an entire fight is near impossible. It is broken up into rounds, why not score each individually. If a fighter is able to maintain the advantage in the majority of the rounds, they win. And, even in events where the round is dead even and the judge has to pick, there are 3 that pick.

example with 9 baseball innings

Angels score 1 HR each inning 1-8, total = 8 HR's
A's score 10 HR's in 9th inning, total = 10 HR's

Angels win. WAT.

Oh yeah, baseball does have 9 innings. I was thinking boxing and 12 for some reason.

Well, again, the scoring is so incredibly different, that would never happen. Boxing is scored with the winner getting 10 (unless points deducted by referee) and the loser getting up to 9. One could not reasonable win a round so bad they would have a lead to the point of losing the remaining rounds by a single point (even in a 10 round fight) would result in them winning.
