FIGHTS LIKE MAYWEATHER VS PACQUIAO DAMAGE BOXING!!!

[@damagejackal10]

I'm kinda embarrassed that I told alot of my friends + workmates to watch the fight! The next day they all came up to me and said It was a waste of time.. I don't think I turned ANY of them into boxing fans! :(

[@gcirc]

What was you expecting ?? Paq to throw them crazy fast combo we seen in public work outs or for Floyd to batter and KO him ??

[@BG_LONDON]

damagejackal10 your not alone there, very damaging to the sport

[@deandobbs9662]

[@boxinginthehallway...]

your friends should worship the ground you walk on, they have withnessed the greatest of all time, cut the bullshit fanboy

[@boxinginthehallway...]

The world got to see the greatest of all time in the ring, a casual fan, someone who watched boxing for the first time, it does not matter, they should be grateful, they got to see the greatest fighter of all time. On the other hand those that follow the sport knew Paquiao was garbage next to Floyd, so let's just give props to Mayweather Jr. and let's move on.

[@simply2ghetto]

Yo Hatman! I have watched dozens of your videos but never comment, sometimes just have your commentary playing in the back when I am going to work etc. Gotta say you are doing a great service to the YTBC by the way you speak your mind and keep it real. You called it correctly about how we should not get 'caught up in the hype' leading to this fight and how it will ultimately disappoint people. Keep making these vids

[@KayoKidBoxing]

THANK YOU! You've literally summed up my thoughts on this. Don't get me wrong, I do respect the technical side and sweet science of the fight. But you've raised the most important fact in that a huge number of 'casual' fans have now been put off because of the fight. A massive number of viewers were people who had never seen a boxing match and they were expecting the fight of the century. What happened has left a bad taste in many of their mouths and now a large amount of potential supporters of boxing have been put off for good.

[@toanz4869]

Finally found someone truly honest and unbiased with his commentary. I'm a new fan man can't stop watching the videos brother keep them coming. Big fan from NZ

[@la-do-ra-ch6810]

We need to be hyping up Kovalev v Stevenson a real fight for the casual fans..

[@youwatch2muchtv]

***** Thats YOUR problem. Get over it.

[@youwatch2muchtv]

***** you blame floyd even moreso than manny? First of all, its floyds style to be defensive like that. Hes been that eay for 10 years. Everyone should know that by now. Its mannys fault for not being aggressive like he usually is. Nice try.

[@youwatch2muchtv]

***** What boring style? Because hes defensive hes boring? Regardless, manny should have been more aggressive. It was HIS fault.

[@youwatch2muchtv]

***** And floyd landed 80 more punches than manny. Manny was scared to get knocked out. Floyd did have his offensive moments. He was in front on manny the entire time except when floyd would dodge hits. Manny should have been more aggressive, not floyd. Floyd was more accurate.

[@youwatch2muchtv]

***** who cares whether or not its entertainment? They dont do this for you, they do this for them. People seem to not understand this concept.

[@SeamusMcMichael]

I prefer these long videos

[@PhantomO01]

This video explains perfectly how I felt after the fight over this weekend. I expected both guys to go out there and fight as tho their in the fight of their life--the fight of century. I was upset with the fight, because Pacquio didn't try to prove he is p4p the best in this error and Floyd didn't try to prove that he is TBE. I love boxing and will always watch but like Hatman said--I want guys who who will do more to entertain the fans especially when the steaks are high. Floyd won the figh fare n square, but I saw two fighters who knew they were paid.

[@miktoh]

Great vid bro, n very good take on the general state of boxing in this present era. Frankly, I still prefer big mega fights in big stadium where the atmosphere is much more conducive. Froch vs Groves was a great example. The undercards of a big fight must also be attractive to ensure paying fans get their worth,, value for money. And it is time to have just one world sanctioning body to determine ranking n champion. What is the point of even if u are a true champion of 4 different belts in a single division n then having to pay 4 sanctioning fees to hold on to being a champion. U look at tennis n golf n other major sports etc etc, their ranking leaves no doubt or confusion for the world audience to digest.

[@alexshelley6881]

Good video hatman as usual talking sense. Seriously think after Mayweather it should be the era of Gennady Golovkin. He is so exciting to watch and he's got the charisma to attract more fans to boxing.

[@Boxinggenius1]

Totally disagree with this video. Who else has held Pac to 400 punches? Who else has made it look easy to beat Pac? Is it Floyds fault that Pac didnt sell out and just took the easy L? The fight game is about hitting and not being hit and Floyd does it as perfect as it gets. If technical skill is not entertaining to CASUALS than don't watch Floyds fights. What hardcore boxing fan cares about what casuals think? Boxing will survive regardless with or without them. If you guys would be more about teaching technical skill in the ytbc than maybe people will find technical skill more interesting. The hype sells tickets. No hardcore fan should even listen to the hype. Your complaints and casuals complaints should be to the existing boxing media, experts, commentators.

[@Boxinggenius1]

tim nic Yea, youre a clown.

[@malupeeeeet]

Young Ton my dear watch MMA and feel the real FIGHTING SPORTS, the thrill, the excitement on every hit. and not hugging dancing and running. My dear wake up! and next time try to watch Floyd's game thru PPV and not on free streaming. and feel how much money you have wasted. Harharhar

[@Boxinggenius1]

malupeeeeet Ok clown. It's not like there's a lot of hugging, holding and grappling in MMA.... You should go back to watching that.

[@malupeeeeet]

hehehe thats MMA my dear. you just made your self a CLOWN harharhar. the hugging there is different!!! they can break your arm and legs. Harharhar. Floyd's hugging is full with love!!! you just made yourself funny!!! Harharhar

I feel people getting mad at this fight need to realize that is how Floyd fights. I mean I can see how this hurts boxing but in this age of sport we got so many technical fighters that know how to avoid getting hit and win on points. At the same time you got guys who had power and technical skill.

[@new_age123]

i fell like such a dick looking back and thinking how caught up in the hype i got. May weather is a boring fighter. no one enjoys watching a fighter who plays defensive with very little offence. I'm a casual fan of boxing but I'm a big fan of mma which i feel is far more exciting sport these days. great vid!

[@sp123]

tbh i wasn't sure who was going to win and didnt know much about either fighter prior to the media hype. i was an mma fan way before the idea of mayweather fighting pacqiao was even considered. boxing is a dying sport bro face it.

[@new_age123]

from listening to the hatman talk about how the money floyd mayweather made from his last fight is nothing compared to what a fighter would make when big names like tyson and lennox were fighting. the only reason why it seems like floyd is braking records on revenue is due to inflation. you can not deny boxing has seen a decline in popularity ? so do i

[@new_age123]

boxing has seen a decline because the casual fan doesn't want to watch a fight which lacks offence aka floyd may weather. they want to see a mixture of all aspects of fighting and floyd is the only guy to make that kind of money because he bought his way out his contract and manages himself. in 10 years time boxing will be minor compared to mma. Don't take my opinion personally

[@Juststuartt]

Two questions for you hatman if you get time to reply it would be appreciated... 1, who do you think mayweather will fight next? ( I want khan ) 2, I've followed your videos for a while now and with your knowledge of the game. Have you been involved more into boxing. Promoting, trainer for example One more thing! Haha did u think all these rumours of pacman having a shoulder injury is a load of shite??

[@goyonman9655]

[@predictingthefuture1]

Floyd always fought short guys never fought fast slick boxers

[@JeffPenaify]

Back in the day a world level knockout was special because people understood the finer points, the subtleties and could appreciate a crafty decision. Now its all about knockouts, its desensitized to where its the standard. The whole bum with 8 ko losses getting main events is insiduous, its fucking wrong. No one appreciates a competitive matchup they just want to see their guy knockout a guy who is only there to get knocked out, and he aint gonna turn down that main event money. Its fucked up really. I encourage people to get off their ass hit the gym and spar some rounds, get some damn perspective.

[@malupeeeeet]

I dont mind if Pac lost. but watching the match is a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. Mayweather just made a great accomplishment on robbing us. He just turned his dancing skills into hundred of millions. MILLIONS OMG. to all Mayweather tiny brain fans, watch MMA and feel the real excitement of fighting sports. FLOYD just killed boxing. period

[@andertonchigoneka3715]

I knew this fight will be boring. 2010 is when it should've happened because Pac-Man was at his peak and Floyd only came back in 2009 so it would've been a better fight. I have been watching fights since the 90s. I'm not a casual or hardcore but i love boxing.

[@curveadams52749]

the reason the casual fans are disappointed, is because the fight didn't live up to the hype, the hype was essentially this, Pacquiao was going to knock Mayweather out, It didn't happen, therefore the casual fans are so very disappointed, make sure you mention most casual fans are pactards. You would not even be making this video if poochiau had won the fight, The video you would be making if he had won, is something to the effect that boxing has been revived, the fight of the century lived up to it's hype and the fans got their money's worth, you know it and I know it!!

[@RIAZZIG]

I personally can't blame mayweather or pacquiao. They fought the way they have been recently and did their best. I blame the so called experts who kept saying this was gonna be an exciting fight

[@SuperWarriorFitness]

If you don't like this fight then you are NOT a true boxing fan and I feel sorry for you because you obviously cannot appreciate true boxing skill !

[@AriGoldBawse]

i hope haymon really does try to get rid of ppv fights keep boxing on networks and it will only get more popular

[@SamDaWarriorsFan]

I'm not pissed at Mayweather, I'm pissed off at Pacquiao. Everyone saw the Chino fight and we knew exactly what he needed to do and he didn't do it but hey, MURIKA FUCK YEAH I guess. Anyway I agree with you on the Andrade thing, that guy beats everyone at 154. One fight that I think would have been interesting would have been Mayweather vs Forrest but it obviously wasn't ment to be. By the way I'm supprised you didn't mention Canelo Kirkland, that fight should be great.

[@Brownticket]

LARA BEATS FLOYD

[@mrb3532]

Pacman couldnt get to him and didnt take risks... The only fighter I seen go all out against mayweather was Hatton.. Look how mayweather fought then and the outcome... Bottomline is noone has been good enough to push mayweather and he has taken the easy option in most of his fight because he can... Boxing will continue when he is gone and ppl will enjoy him more when he is finally retired..

[@JeffPenaify]

My thing is the casuals of boxing DONT GET IT. We live in an era thats on this worldstar, Ko compilation idea of fighting. Back in the day it wasnt like that, people get hype for great fights and people could respect a smart game. Its like in the playoffs when you get a clutch game that drags on, well its the playoffs, all that matters is who wins, yet theyll go and say this fight sucked. Back in the day you didnt need to be a knockout artist to get fans, willie pep, midget wolgast, people knew what was going on and people could understand that not everybody is gonna go in, they knew you gotta play to your strengths. I can dig people not liking the fight, but i just get sick of people who dont know shit, never sparred, never trained, acting like they know what the fuck boxing is.

[@Stirlingsays]

Jeff Boxing That attitude is fine for you, but it's damaging for boxing and those of us who want this sport to develop and regain its former glory.

[@life107familyfitnessboxing8]

Nathan Stirling PEOPLE WANT WAR IN THE RING NOW ENTERTAINMENT VALUE

[@JeffPenaify]

Nathan Stirling its former glory had an educated boxing public who knew what fighting was all about, not kids who just want to see knockouts

[@Stirlingsays]

Technical boxing is for the amateurs and for boxing purists. There is absolutely no requirement for the casual to 'change' for boxing....If boxing doesn't produce the excitement for them as they see it there are plenty of other sports for them to spend their money on......This fight was bad for boxing because it was a boring tip tap run fest which came with a lot of hype.....I want to see boxers get paid and for the sport to be healthy not just for the big timers like Mayweather/Pacman......This wasn't a good advert or advancement for that hope.

[@JeffPenaify]

Nathan Stirling in the 40s, or 70s, 80s, this would have been a solid victory. It was a good fight. The casual boxing fan has no understanding of boxing, why should the marketplace pander to an uneducated, dissatisfied public. People were mad because Mayweather won its as simple as that.

[@AngelBlackwellX]

I think there are two main reasons that boxing has failed to keep a mainstream audience. The first is that fighters tend to pick their own opponents, and avoid boxers that could possibly beat them ergo depriving fans of our ideal fights. Secondly, boxing favours the defensive fighters which means the best in the world are almost always going to be a relatively low volume guy. For most, this fails to capture what most would regard as the quintessence of fighting. So, in a nutshell, we need better match ups and more offensive fights. A way to achieve the former would be to reconstruct the boxing business model. Tv companies should only deal with 1 promotional banner, which is heavily regulated to minimise corruption. This banner should sign fighters to conditions that allow them to have complete control over their opponents. A designated faction should then decide the match-ups have fighters face everyone in their ranking bracket, and putting on publically demanded fights respectively. Pertaining to my latter point; boxing gloves are large which poses two problems. They deliver a small pressure per square inch (psi), whilst making it easier to defend punches than to land clean shots. A low psi means that punches are less hurtful, so power, chin & toughness are not rewarded fairly. Instead boxing celebrates the slick fighters for their speed and accuracy. If gloves were smaller, we would find that the guys at the top would typically have a combination of strength, punch power & punch resistance instead of speed, timing and accuracy. Further, it would be much easier to penetrate the guard with smaller gloves, so fighters would quickly learn that a good defence is a solid offence. We'd get offensively fought matches when boxers realise it's difficult to defend against shots and far easier to land. To summarise, if these two changes occurred then I'm confident that boxing will reemerge into the mainstream, gracing household screens with puglitistic violence in a new, golden era. I'd love to hear your response.

[@basharathhussain6679]

I Have to agree with you this fight was so disappointing..Why o Why Was Amir Khan Wasting His time chasing this punk to fight.. and know it wont happen... sorry Faryal... .

[@AngelBlackwellX]

Your thoughts, although well presented are inaccurate. Boxers face more concussion because of the accumulation of punches rather than a one punch knockout (due to psi differentials) and because mma fighters throw less headshots in general. Why do you think that the guys at the top of boxing are usually skillfull and tricky, as opposed to strong and powerful? Because skill trumps strength? That's a fallacy, imo. Just look at mma. The best in the world are usually, with exceptions, strong powerful guys. This has a hell of a lot to do with gloves size. Think about it. Mayweather wouldn't allow maidana to wear his choice of gloves because he believed the lack of padding would hurt him. Through extrapolation this suggests that smaller gloves thus a higher psi favours the puncher against the slick fighter. Change the gloves completely and boxing would favour the strong and durable punchers over the slicksters. It would also have a positive effect on punch output!

[@AngelBlackwellX]

Luca Brasi I have sparred yeah, with boxing gloves & mma gloves. Imo there's a world of difference in the power that the shots carry respectively which is what piqued my interest into glove size to begin with. Anyway, I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you here. Don't get me wrong, I respect Floyd's skill, he's talented to do what he does. I think it would be a completely new paradigm if gloves were smaller. Peace.

[@basharathhussain6679]

[@1hitaquita615]

Good vid Hatman! But, it's you opinion in a microcosm, not necessarily based on logic or facts.

[@gcirc]

I thought floyd was class boxed very well. I like the technical side to his boxing and the technical side to boxing as a whole. A tear up is always fun to watch but I'm not to into it as much. Paq didn't do what people expected him to do,we all no what floyds about. But I also understand what your getting at to you make some valid points but I can't fully agree on them all . Floyd could have closed the show with a KO on TKO,did he need to no should he have,yea It would have been great. Boxing will be fine think your looking to deep into it. floyd is a acquired taste. And for all the racist hate I'm happy he won. Boxing been going from the beginning on time the days of the myrmex are gone lol after floyd there be other greater boxing who go above and beyond as you say. PEACE OUT keep em coming. U always keep it fully 100

[@zoobee]

this makes so much sense. yes, on a technical side, Mayweather is brilliant, peerless, excellent. But without the flair, reckless art and dangerous fights that makes people breathless, without the showmanship and excitement, boxing isn't boxing.

[@tazdean2741]

Hartman is king boxing channel, talks so much sense. Never got lost as elitist or purist. Mayweather does "enough" just to win for himself, has he done enough for the fans. Doing just enough is hated in all sports, football teams that score then park the bus is mocked and never respected. Mayweather got something that's better than his defensive skill, self marketing, if he didn't have this he would have been another klitchko. I thrive on memorable fights, on heart and courage whilst flood thrive on how much money mayweathers made. Can u imagine what would happen if we had 10 more mayweathers? End of boxing. Mayweather done what he had to do, it's time for him to go. I for one will not recommend any of his fights to promote boxing. Maypac was not boxing it was a flomo vs Pactard exhibition match.

Not only the currency values have gone down but with the Euros, European fighters are losing out every time they fight in the UK! Moreover, while the German boxing scene still seem to get going, France has completely collapsed (use to have some good boxers in the 90s) and the other countries don't provide much competition. You therefore have a 'scene' with only a few countries which doesn't really help in its development.

Thank goodness for Hatman, couldn't agree more about the damage to boxing. I actually have an aversion to boxing after all the hype and all the ugliness. You can see with that fight, whether Mainstream Media or You Tube, which commentators are real and who's full of BS. To me you can put Mayweather beside 50 cent, or David Beckham, Jamie Oliver, etc.. - greedy rich people with nothing interesting to say, who in our times of poverty give nothing and take everything. They're just the sort of people you wouldn't want to have power or set an example. Talk about superficial people. Here's to ordinary people, and people who share with others.

[@necaacen]

going back and watching some of ur older vids. I think the ppv point is so true, Ive been saying it myself for ages too. I even think sports like football were hurt simply by going to sky sports rather than staying on the regular box. Were a fatter nation with less homegrown talent because of it. I actually enjoy watching mayweather, I got to be honest, but I dont like the guy. If pacman was ever gonna beat mayweather it would be through speed and aggression, and when he was at his fastest, sharpest and most aggressive mayweather ducked him again and again, talking about drugs blah blah. He ducked him till the fight was so stacked towards the smart boxer when they were both in their twilight that you can hardly credit him for going in there with him. I think mayweather would have beaten him at any stage, but its typical mayweather to not even take the risk and put his money where his mouth is when the fight was hot. Of course if you were to say that to floyd he would probably show you his watch again and tell you how much it cost, as if that says it all about his skills as a boxer. Maybe it does, but not in the way he would like it to. the bloke is an absolute tit and he was pretty bad for the sport. But I have to admit I enjoy watching that sort of fighter, I would love to hate him in the ring as much as I hate him out of the ring, but I dont, I think he was a superb talent and I think its a shame that he was too much of a mercenary coward to do what I believe he could have done, which is beat all the guys when they were the guys.

[@folaadebayo2767]

Most of the problems you’re talking about can be laid at the feet of the various belt organisations and the relationships with their favoured promotion and networks. We have been fed a diet of knockouts as if they were the norm. I also have been watching boxing for nearly fifty years! And have seen the promototers and networks taking bigger and bigger slice of the pot. You give Floyd too much influence! as if he is responsible for all the ills of boxing, something which has become popular recently. Boxing is a bastard sport,run by gangsters,the likes of which is unknown in the world of professional sports and there is no use comparing it to other sports. Is Floyd responsible for all the confusion and mess boxing is in? IThis re- writing of history doesn’t bear scrutiny. I remembe when Floyd had a 90 % knockout ratio, with such stunning violence against, Hernandez,Manfreddy,Corrales - a fighter with much longer reach,Gati Canelo, Cato etc…All of these enough people thought Floyd would lose,despite what they say now. As of Andrade beating Floyd,please,all of a sudden every boxer could have beaten Floyd! Boxing remains trapped in eugenic ideas about race and culture,whereas in other sport the need to be competitive has managed to rid themselves of this backward ideas. If you are a young black athlete why would you choose to box?,when other sports are more open and you don’t need to be at the top,to make sure your family can eat. South America is different,where boxing is still one of the only ways to improve you’re life. Hence the number of black Americans going into boxing has diminished over the years. The truth is that those us who truly love boxing are a diminishing breed. If Floyd brought so called “fanboys” along to see him fight or lose, only to disappear afterwards, that is not Floyd’s fault.

I am a hardcore fan. And also one of those dillusional Tyson fans that believe he was unbeatable. But I don't think we need to push anything any different. Every fighter is different. If mayweather wants to fight the way he does then that's up to him. If people pay to see it but then complain that's up to them. Promoters etc are gonna go where the money is. And at the moment its with mayweather. Surely the next guy won't have the exact same attributes or mental make up so I'm guessing he won't box in the same way. Also I think with mayweather his style now has a lot to do with his age and the way he's marketed himself around his 100% record. He was a lot more offensive before he got into the top position but it seems obvious that he was milking his zero. I loved watching naseem hamed, Tyson and jones jr but for me there is something about the adaptation that mayweather has made that people should learn from and appreciate. Ie as in the way the Tyson Frazier jones jr styles don't age very well. But are very entertaining when they're in their prime. For me there are usually the top guys. Then the guys good guys that are exciting. Occasionally the top guys are entertaining but if not and they are still the pinnacle of the art form then more power to them. To use hatmans analogy. I'm sure there are a lot of superstar rappers that wish they had the skills of lesser known artists and visa Vera. But when you're gambling with ur life/health then I think it should be applauded by hardcore and casual fans alike if u can achieve what mayweather has. Too much is made Of the damage that this or that does for boxing and how bad it is. People always complain about technical fights. But if a big slug fest gets made they'll be back on the band wagon.

Buying Mayweather fights must not be an acquired taste when he holds the record for pay per view sales & consistently since 2007 has sold more than any other boxer when he's active.

[@HatmanStrikesBack]

T Jones with the right marketing and hype, you can sell anything. Mayweather has the majority of black boxing fans on his side, regardless of how dull his fights are, simply by virtue of the fact that he's black and successful...and the controversy he has created with his comments outside the ring over the years has caused many other boxing fans (not least Pacquiao fans) to tune into his fights in the hope that he loses...it's not the entertainment value of his fights that keeps people tuning in, it's the controversy he creates, and what he represents to the black community...casual fans who don't really know the man, they only know the name, tune in and are always left disappointed...because his fights don't live up to all the excitement which surrounds them...you only have to look at the reaction to the Pacquiao fight to know that...millions of fans, who don't normally watch boxing were bitterly disappointed....

[@tjones8556]

HatmanStrikesBack You make good points but that's not right. I'm a black man in America & I know a lot of Mexicans that buys Floyd's fights some in hopes that he loses and some in because they're fans and also because he fight's Latino's on Mexican holidays. Secondly trust me black people ain't united on nothing and it definitely ain't uniting to buy Floyd's fights. Third Floyd is a worldwide mega star buddy I am a veteran people in country's all over know Floyd and buy his fights. Pacquiao fans go to closed circuit showing and watch Mayweather fights which is why Mayweather's fights has tripled Pacquiao's numbers in 2014. When Mayweather fight's perceived threat the numbers are even higher so good points but you're wrong. Lastly Mayweather performs the same way since 2007 and has broke the record for revenue 3 times? Come on nobody's buying something they hate they just hate the result which is another Floyd W each time.

Saftey first? Ward. Did you watch him decapitate chad dawson. Dont tar ward with that brush. it makes you look like you don't know what you are talking about. I rate your talks BTW and know that you do know what you are talking about.

Andrade already beat Thurman twice in the Amateurs , WITH EASE. When "nobody" wanted to fight Thurman , Andrade offered to fight him, Thurman's people passed, shit, Luis Collazo wanted a fight with Thurman before he knocked out Victor Ortiz , Keith Thurman's people passed on that as well. I'm a huge fan of his but I think he is seriously overrated at this point. His best 2 opponents so far have been a 40 year old Leonard Bundu and a former featherweight in Robert Guerrero, his last 2 opponents before that have a combined 18 losses. They are bringing him up slowly, letting him rise up through the ranks the right way.

Floyd is around with the media and the net is viral this is one reason Mayweather didn't need a promoter he showed Browner the blue print fans want to no how you live and Floyd took the camera right into his house for your entainment, the problem with Browner is Floyd was drinking water or soda at the club and Browner was drinking the real deal, and Floyd won his fights wile talking the talk on the other hand Browner talk the talk entertain but he lost, so here is were the difference came in,

[@nonog294]

4.5+ million ppvs... think thats a win in my book buddy. ppl mad cus their guy got a boxing lesson haha and who cares about casuals they can go somewhere else if they dont want to really learn about the sport. styles make fights blame manny for not being more aggressive. bye boxing aint going anywhere. time and time again ppl say boxing is dead trust me its alive and well and been alive and well. boxing starts in the amateurs plenty of up and coming youth out there from all over the world. its a world sport like soccer. different men representing countries ect.
