    It's entirely possible - the whole fight didn't make any sense from the get go to me. RIZIN could've gained just as much attention by having a legit bout/exhibition rather than a fix, if that was indeed the case.

    I think it was just a guy not used to boxing at that level (or any level, in western boxing terms) outweighed by a all time great fighter by about 30lbs.

    When I watched it, it just looked hilarious. The way the guy was falling and diving around and acting looked like bad acting, probably not a fix though since everyone knew Mayweather was going to win so theres nothing to fix really but the guy overplayed it a bit probably trying to make it look better.

    Rumors flying around that Wladimir Klitschko is coming out of retirement possible first opponent could be Dilian Whyte, * I hope it's true.

    Broner is one of the least likeable guys in combat sports.

    Vastly overrates his own ability and has the attitude of a spoilt kid.

    Pacquiao looked good, it’s amzing he’s still doing this at a high level at his age, with his style.

    Pacman well and truelly outclassed him for almost 12 rounds, Broner isn’t on his level.

    Folk will be cynical of it but I want to see Pac/Floyd II personally. Pac is still operating at an elite level and his fitness clearly isn’t an issue.

    It would be a much closer fight now if Pacman fought Floyd it probably be a much better fight now as well which wouldn't be hard as the 1st was a snooze fest. I hope Manny doesn't fight the winner of Spence v Garcia he should go nowhere near those two at this stage of his career especially Spence. I love to see Pacman beat Floyd and retire he be a top ten of all time he already for me is in the top 20 boxers of all time.

    His record is like his fighting style, relentless.

    Broner becomes the 21st World Champion he’s beat. That is an absolutely mind blowing statistic.
