Watching the fight at home and the last fight was a joke. A construction worker from Tijuana lost every round versus a hyped Showtime fighter.

They're saying PPV has crashed and they're delaying the start hoping to fix the problem. Supposedly more than 3 million buys @ $100 have crashed the HD servers.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

SBNation appears to have one here.



This site at least says the fight should truly start at 8:30 PM PST.



The SBNation site appears to be either shut down or overloaded.

I'm getting that as well - try the ESPN live blog here; it's along the right side of the page.

The CNN.com home page may have a link to its own live blog as well.

Mayweather's won the first three rounds right now, but they feel like cheap wins to me, based on my very limited knowledge...

(And based on the comments elsewhere, other people seem to agree.)

Pacquiao for round four.

ESPN gave the first two to Mayweather, and the next two to Manny.

Huh. Weird. I just looked at other reports of the score online, and another one says May-Pac-Tie for the first three. No idea.

I generally hate when boxing goes to decisions, because I usually end up thinking "wtf" about how the judges came up with the scoring.

Maybe one of them gets KO. Much easier decision.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

9-3 is my guess on at least 2 of the cards. At best 8-4 MW.

Those of you who took the over on whether the fight would go 11.5 rounds can collect. When was the last time either of these two was in a fight that came close to a knockdown, much less a knockout?

Result: two 8-4s and a 10-2 for Mayweather. I would have thought that, given the crowd, one of the judges would have had it 7-5, if not 6-6.

Don't bother waiting for a rematch; Mayweather says that he has a fight in September, then he's retiring.

that fight was BORING!
looked more like a sparring match than someone fighting for NINE figures!

glad I didn't pay $100 for that.

they should have made it $1M guarantee and the winner gets $250M+

Good news is that I was able to watch a stream that didn't lag and had minimal shut downs.

The down side is this commercial is going to haunt my dreams for the next 2 months.

Just saw that there is a way to watch the fight for free.

1. Be from the philipines or vpn yourself a filipino ip address
2. ???
3. Profit

is this considered illegal? because I got blasted from TEliot for even suggesting streaming something.

They should have to go until someone is down.

When is the class action lawsuit going to hit the courts over Paco not disclosing his messed up shoulder?

$300+million in PPV on a fight that never should have happened

Will never forget how upset he got about the disclosure there were bed bugs in his spare mattress. This despite said mattress never being used according to him. One wonders. How could bed bugs be attracted to a mattress without food?

Headlines today said Pacquaio had surgery already. This fight occurring with him being severely injured was wrong, very wrong. Maybe he didn't have a chance anyhow, but hiding this injury from the betting public is just wrong to do.
