John Axford watched Floyd Mayweather - Manny Pacquiao through someone's apartment window

Axford watched boxing match through apartment window

Saturday night featured the Floyd Mayweater vs. Manny Pacquiao boxing match billed as the "Fight of the Century." While I would argue that the Avengers going up against Ultron is the real fight of the century, I'm also not a boxing fan, so I'll remove myself from the debate. Regardless, it was basically all anyone could talk about as people shelled out plenty of bucks to either fly to Vegas, watch from a crowded sports bar or order the Pay-Per-View from the comfort of their couch. 

With the Rockies in San Diego, reliever John Axford found another solution: watch the fight through someone's apartment window with a bunch of other hangers-on. 

But then, terror struck: A chair got in the way of the TV. 

Move That Chair! Move That Chair! #MayPac

Fortunately, the apartment owners heard the crowd's desperate pleas and everything ended well.

Except for the fight, that is. Most people didn't seem to enjoy that very much.
