Nice orderly job getting Haye to the ring there.

Wow! Til Schweiger in attendance!

Yeah, Wlad is doing his usual technically sound yet not all that thrilling job. Haye is gonna have to start taking some chances here if he wants a shot at winning.

Haye needs to start making fun of Hayden P if he wants to get in Vlad's head.

So boring.  Couldn't imagine paying for this on PPV.

Another dive by Haye

I'd hate to be the sap who has to write Haye a $15 million check for that slop. Hope Til had a nice time at least.

This is why I there are so few fights that I actually make of point of watching. I TiVoed this thing and fast forwarded through some of it, and I was still bored. What a disgrace. The heavyweight division in boxing is about as relevant and exciting as the Canadian Football League. There's almost no need to actually watch.

And why was Larry Merchant continually talking about how shitty the fight and Haye's performance were, its your network that puts this crap on.

I thought this might get exciting for a moment when Haye stunned Klitschko there in the last round.

I wanted to see Haye get his ass beat, but there really needs to be some new SUPER Heavyweight division or something. The size disparity makes these matches decided from the beginning. However, that was an awful performance by Haye. Seriously, I could have fought Klitschko and put on a better show than that (even thought I'd be knocked out in the first round).

Dont diss the CFL. lol. But yeah, it was pretty pointless to watch this fight.

So the Mayweather v. Ortiz fight is about to begin and I'll find out who wins from Sportscenter probably, because I'm sure as shit not paying $60 for this fight in HD. Especially when it will in all likelihood be a boring one, as Mayweather's fights usually are. We all want to see him against Pacquioa (sp) but what if Floyd actually loses?? Mayweather, BTW, is getting about $25 million for tonight's fight while Ortiz has to settle for about 2.5 million, no wonder Floyd is call Money.

So anyone else even remotely interested in this fight??

I hate Floyd Mayweather and the move wasn't classy but the rule is "protect yourself at all times" and after taking that headbutt to the mouth I don't blame him for taking that shot. I'm pissed because he robbed us of what looked to be an interesting fight but whatever. Ortiz should probably shoulder most of the blame for that.

From what I'm reading, Larry Merchant's post-fight interview with Mayweather was better than the actual fight.

The ref fucked up.  No doubt about it.  It wasn't clear if time was called back in.  Time hadn't officially started, so it was a bit of a sucker punch.

But above all else, Victor Ortiz is just so dumb.  What a fucking idiot.  Why was he hugging and kissing Floyd?  Floyd sucker punched Mosley and Gatti when they tried to touch gloves.  Ortiz is such a simpleton.  Even after losing he just had dumb smile and said " its all a learning experience." 

Glad I didn't watch the fight. Its Manny or nothing for me as far as Boxing goes these days.

$65 for that dreck, my feelings exactly. If Manny wins his next fight (I believe its in Nov.) then he and Mayweather have to meet some next Spring-May most likely-and that would be one of the biggest fights of the past 30 years, the PPV numbers would break all records, and we all better be prepared to pay at least $85 for it.
 

Anyone even remotely interested in tonight's Mayweather v. Cotto fight? I refuse to pay for any Mayweather fight unless he's fighting Pacquiao so I won't be watching. However., my neighbor has it on in his backyard and he's got it on so loud I can hear it perfectly.

Here's hoping that Mayweather gets knocked on his ass, but I think he'll win in a unanimous decision like he always does. Plus, no way Vegas is going to put in jeopardy a potential Mayweather Pac-man fight down the road.

Good fight.  

I blame the supermoon for Mayweather's decision to have Justin Bieber walk him to the ring.

HBO is going to air last week's fight tonight which is why I don't pay the 60 bucks they want to charge. I'll go ahead and check it out.. Until Mayweather fights Pacquioa I won't pay up front for one of his fights especcialy sense most aren't worth it!
