Think back to this past May, if you will. It was a Saturday night. You gathered with your friends, either at their place or yours, then you collectively sat around, put $100 into the toilet and flushed, just waving goodbye to that substantial amount of cash. Remember that? The night of the dud-on-the-century bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, the one Mayweather controlled from the outset while tediously jabbing his way to victory, all while your $99.95 went up in smoke, like the hundred-dollar bills Floyd probably uses to light cigars? Remember that?

Well, it’s been three-and-a-half months and Manny Pacquaio still somehow thinks he won that fight. This is something he actually believes, evidently. I’d say he’d been hit in the head too many times, but that fight was so boring he wasn’t! I doubt the equivalent of three rounds of hugging would have an averse effect on his memory.

Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach won’t go so far as to say Manny won the first fight, but he’s coming out big and saying that Pacquiao would win a second fight, now that his fighter’s shoulder is better and we’ve apparently shifted to an alternate universe in which Mayweather doesn’t have a two-inch height advantage, five-inch reach advantage and is too slow to get out of the way of the close blows Pacquiao would theoretically need to land to win any fight.

Of course, who knows whether Pacquiao and Roach actually believe this or whether it’s all a plan to coax Floyd back into the ring for a rematch despite his insistence that his fight next month against Andre Berto will be his last. It’s not a bad plan, because if you believe that Floyd will stop at 49-0, tied with Rocky Marciano’s undefeated mark, then you probably agree that Pacquiao won that May snoozefest too.
