Celeberties and casual fans demand fights like this! Not knowing how boring Mayweather is to watch. If you want to hand out cash for free it should go to actual fighters who want to fight like the Canelo Kirkland. To guys nor worried about losing but there to fight!! Not run around a ring for 12 rounds.

so Mayweather is the pound for pound best fighter in the world right now but the guy as 2nd best in the world right now, will over pass him in no time.. his name is Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez..
I would have love to see Chocolatito fight Mayweather but not possible because the differences in weight ...
Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez is an undefeated Nicaraguan professional boxer who is the current WBC and The Ring Flyweight champion, as well as a former WBA Light Flyweight and WBA Minimumweight champion, respectively. Along with Nicaraguan great Alexis Arguello, he is a three-weight world champion. Gonzalez is currently ranked 2nd in The Ring (magazine) Pound for pound listings, behind only Floyd Mayweather.
Total fights 43, Wins 43, Wins by KO 37, Losses 0
I think a complete lack of regards for the fans was the most disturbing part. Very few tickets available, grossly over priced and same thing for the closed circuit tickets. The lack of a compelling undercard where Leo Santa Cruz basically fought a cab driver was another low point.

For all who said the fight was boring, and they didn't get their money's worth, you are the one's who continue to make my money well spent. Floyd's prophecy about not getting the credit came true after easily disposing Manny. The poll question should add "What's the most disturbing thing about the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight". -The influx of casual boxing fans, who thinks they're going to get blood baths every fight with someone being deemed brain dead. Floyd has fought his same fight from the day he made his pro debut. Therefore, you know exactly what you were getting upon "skimming" through the fight. You guy's only wanted to see man you have never met or had dialogue with, but passionately hate, get KNOCKED OUT. However, he played spoiler once again and the "Great ***** Hope" couldn't satisfy your needs. Now you throw GGG in the mix. Better yet how about he fights Kovolev or Wilder, perhaps Klitschko. Nonetheless, every time I read a negative post about TBE I'm still getting my money's worth.

Little known facts and very disturbing. Kenny Bayless,an ABOVE AVRAGE REF, has refereed 3 of Mayweathers last 4 fights. WTF. When have you heard of that. {NOT BEING THE BEST REFEREE IN THE BUSINESS) such as Art Donavan for instance in the 40's and 50's. )If he was the BEST ref out there, then it may have some credence but he is NOT the best by far. He is a contract ref by either the Money Man or the promoters, Dave Moretti has judged 9 of Mayweathers last 13 fights. . The last WHITE referee was Drakuvich in 2002. Here is the key to Mayweathers victorys. Come out in the first 2 rounds to see what he can get away with as far as fouls with the referee, such as holding, elbow to the throat, holding the head down of his opponet, and repeat that foul untill the ref takes away a point. Yeah NOT. Notice that he is warned many many times for the same infraction with NEVER having a point taken away. EXAMPLE: The Packman is an inside fighter so to hold him repeatedly without a point being taken away actually nulifies the aggressive fighters ability to fight. Hence another Mayweather boring victory. I am NOT a Mayeather Hater. I think the he is the most talented fighter boxing today. It just pains me to see him just fight enough to get by, and to use the rules "or lack of" to engineer another boring victory. For that reason alone. I cannot in good concience vote him into the top ten alltime. WILLIE PEP was a defensive Genius but held very little, he actually won a round without ever throwing a punch A PLEA TO FLOYD MAYEATHER:. Just for once come to a fight and fight. Keep your opponent at the end of your jab and dance out of the way of the aggressor, not hold the whole fight. You have all the talent in the world to do so, why go the boring way. You are about to break the record of ROCKY MARCIANO who never took a backward step in a fight. To make any claim that your achivement can compare to THE ROCK would be another embarrasment to boxing perpetrated by you. Just one boxing fans opinion.
foor that reason alone I cannot in good conciebnce

If you give the fight to the aggressor, Mayweather would have 20 losses, he is a defensive fighter and a counter puncher, you box to your skill set, Shaq wasn't a 3 point shooter and Iverson wasn't a shot blocker lol

Impossible to pick one thing, but this showing at that price was really disturbing&worse if the fighter or Boxing commission KNEW of injuries&didn't delay the fight to produce the best product for fans paying so much. As a longtime fan, I know what to expect with Mayweather&told many not to waste money on him for a casual fan wanting action, rather wait for a fighters like Golovkin , Prodnikov, Kameda, Figeroa, Jr. Alvarez-Kirkland last wk instead&for a "Superfight" like this to introduce or have a chance to reinvigorate the sport, it hurt boxing overall. Fight was 5+ yrs too late&at 5+ pds too heavy for it to be great or allow Pac's infamous energy to have a chance to stop/drop/beat Mayweather&Mayweather took it at a safe time with all of his requirements met (unlike Maidana I being great b'c of Maidana's work ethic/output& especially the ref being the wildcard¬ stopping Maidana's charges, BUT NOTICE Mayweather put an end to that QUICK before second fight with Bayless as ref. same as Pacquiao fight although it didn't matter as Pac came for a payday). What Heyman is doing with the Sat. network fights is commendable but we needed a good PPV Superfight like Canelo vs GGG/Cotto or maybe a Klitschko-Wilder unification, etc. instead of what we got.

For an unbiased poll, how about adding -
Mayweather given too much credit for defensive display.
Pacquiao not given enough credit for being aggressor.
Pacquiao not given enough credit for his defense and blocking all Mayweather shots.
