Ortiz vs Mayweather

    This Saturday the 17th, anyone going to watch this, anyone care?
  • bigdaddy2003
    Do they have free feeds for boxing like they do MMA? That is the only way I will catch it. The only boxing match I would pay for at this point would be Mayweather and Manny and that fight isn't going to happen because Floyd is scared.

    There's a Hooters by my place that is showing this for no charge..probably gonna hit it up

    I friggin love big boxing fights (hate MMA)

    I love boxing too but I'm just not trying to drop $65 on this.

    If Pacquiao-Mayweather ever happens....I'll buy that.

    Mayweather by epic ass whipping

    I wouldn't mid watching this fight but I would rather watch free UFC fights on spike. Mayweather is agrea defensive fighter and counter puncher. I used to be an avid boxing fan but the promoters and greed within it really killed my interest. That and they don't even put on the best fights or the fights that the fans wanna see.

    Good idea for a thread.

    Mayweather will probably win by decision, dancing around countering the power of Ortiz.

    Just don't get into MMA. Think it's okay to watch, just don't really get into it as a sport.

    There's nothing better than a big boxing match...the aura around the stadium/arena, the hype, all the betting involved, the intensity, the dialogue between rounds, the controversy, the sketchiness, the knockout...just awesome

    I understand what you are saying, unfortunately those fights and days are behind us. There isn't one fighter today that gets me excited like, "I have to watch this guy".

    I think that aura is dead honestly, which sucks, but promoters killed it.

    Yeah I think Pacquaio is the best boxer out there, he's a beast and is really aggressive.

    I can see how some people might feel that way. All of that BS is ridiculous.

    What they need is some new blood to promote, a new generation. I don't know that there is going to be that next generation however, they may all go to MMA.

    I didn't mean the aura around boxing in general..I meant the aura around a stadium/arena of a top boxing match...like Pac/Margarito last year..or soon to be Ortiz/Mayweather

    Got you, just wish there were more than one of those or two a year.

    The best boxer out there is PBF.

    I still enjoy boxing, but I have become a much bigger MMA fan over the last couple of years.

    I like boxing and MMA, but I prefer boxing for sure. Nothing in the MMA compares to a great boxing match.

    Probably won't watch this one unless I go out for the OSU game and that bar happens to be showing the fight after.
