Rainy Weather
Disclaimer: This is not something I would normally do. But considering the controversy I deem it appropriate.
Tonight I watched the big fight night with Mayweather and Pacquiao. As the event began I noticed more than I expected before the main event. While I was waiting and listening to the host they said a lot that just caught me off guard. Celebrities were referred to as royalty. That was the first instance when I began to feel uncomfortable. All "men" are created equal unless you have more money. Secondly I noticed the promotions were done by Mayweather Production company. At that time I smelt a foul stench with this fight.
Pacman came out the ring fighting, while Mayweather ran ducking and dodging. I was told this was his strategy. I thought to myself well this is something I do not want to watch if he is just going to run and hug more than Barney almost the entire time. It's a disgrace but I figure where there is money this is what you should expect. However, I was surprised with Mayweather winning but how could I be when this is how he always fights and wins. This unanimous decision was like ex-President George W. Bush and Florida during the Presidential Election.
I believe what had my mind tangled in knots was Mayweather's persona. He is arrogant, cocky and just seems to have a bad personality. His focus is money and when he makes all this money he does nothing to help the people of America. Yet you can rob them by selling the fight to watch you run around on paid per view and win a rigged fight.

So in all honesty I don't know why everyone was so upset about the outcome of the fight. I don't even watch boxing but I know that Mayweather's style of fighting is "scary." The announcer said it best at the end of the fight when he interviewed Pac-Man. Pac-Man made the comment that Mayweather ran the whole fight. The announcer then stated but you knew that would happen, why didn't you come to the ring prepared... I agree with the announcer that's like you having an interview at PETA and wear a fur coat because it was cold outside. Something's you have to be prepared for. Pac-Man knew what he was getting himself into.
