Pacquiao - Mayweather

What's this - no Pacquiao - Mayweather thread?

I stayed up all night in a packed bar full of beardy hipster w@nkers in Shoreditch watching it. As I walked out blinking into the sunlight after, my overriding emotion was regret. What a boring (yes, technical) fight!

Thoughts?
