    Well. That screwjob better have been to set up the Mayweather-Pac superfight. And if so, Mayweather has GOT to be the favorite.

    Jesus. That was terrible even by boxing's standards.

    The Brits are positively indignant over the result on the feed I'm watching.

    You must be watching the same feed I watched. They were pushing Marquez pretty hard throughout.

    If Pacquiao is THAT BAD against a counter-puncher he stands no chance against Mayweather.

    Just saw the post-fight interviews on the HBO feed. Marquez and his manager are fuming. I don't see it. Close fight, and they were insane to tell Marquez over and over that he was winning.

    Agreed. Mayweather is miles better than either of those guys.

    I thought Pacquiao won, but I don't think he can beat Mayweather. Marquez is crafty but slowing. Mayweather is crafty and freakishly quick. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mayweather wins nine or 10 rounds against Pacquiao.

    But I think Pac-Man has more power than Mayweather. Nevertheless, Mayweather can take him.

    Pacquaio had a subpar night. He has too many distractions now - wife caught him cheating again with a 22 yr old culinary student (got her pregnant), Congress duties, TV show, Game show host, several business endeavors, family with four kids, philanthropy, celebrity, billiards competition, cock fighting interests, dressing room party before fight with more hanger ons than Ali and Tyson combined. Pac is a part-time fighter now and the effects of it showed in his disappointing performance against Marquez. Still, it's a fact that Mayweather ducked Pac for two years and still would rather fight a set up next like Morales (Golden Boy contacted Morales to fight Floyd last week) then Pacquiao himself. We'll see what happens from here...

    The Money Team is a sideshow too.
