Not a hating thread, the fact is aside from producing over priced boring fights where he pokes his opponents to death, now fighters can not chase him for a big money fight and can fight each other. Not knocking any.fighter for trying to get that money cause I would too but now it will go back to where u have to fight your way to the top to make ur money instead of fighters standing in line for a lottery ticket to fight floyd. Floyd is.home now if we can get rid of catch weights, boxing will truly be back.
In the past 2 years Floyd has been talking about health more than my doctor. I think it will take an astronomical amount of money in the 9 digit mark to bring Floyd to fight one more time.
The guy spends money like its water. He is not save minded, but spend minded. Someone like that needs to keep their cash flow going. Also, Judging from other boxers in history, the allure is always too great to return. He'll be back, Kev.
Brock Lesnar single handily raped boxing in 2008. Don't forget that. Lol you guys are gonna hear it now from the annoying MMA fans and then you're gonna ask where is daddy Floyd to save us :lol1:
Wtf^^^ lol. Not taking Floyd's retirement easy are you?

Is mma still a thing? I haven't heard anyone talk about it in literally forever.
None of these young guys are hungry enough to bring any excitement back to boxing. Thurman, Khan, Garcia, and all the other WWs danced around each other for 3 years. They're the ones who ruined boxing.
Yea trying to chase after a payday fight with floyd. Thanks for making my point :)

Could be a great thing! Now let the new talent step up!
I'm not a retard from some irrelevant country with only one good athlete, nor do I have such a simple mind that I have to view promotional outfits like WWF wrestling... I don't have to "swear my allegiance" to anyone.
then you are a retard from a relevant country with more than one good athlete.
It's a fresh Era now. We don't have a super boring dominant champion running the show anymore, I hope the leftovers of these divisions will get Golovkin type boxers. Knockout artists !
Yep. Worst era ever. Glad it's over. Fans can now focus on more worthy fights now.

With Floyd and Pac being gone, hopefully things will go towards this.

A UFC heavyweight champion didn't last one minute with a fat 40-something retired Ray Mercer in the octagon. Anderson Silva quit on his stool against a tomato can in his pro boxing career. There's a reason BoxingScene doesn't get "raided" by MMA forums, their rube heads explode when we start fighting back.

Agreed with OP, but I think Floyd is gonna come out of retirement more than Jay Z...
Multimillion dollar paydays are too alluring for someone so narcissistic

We'll see.
Last time Floyd retired, months after, UFC crushed boxing in revenue. I'll give boxing until after Canelo vs Cotto to get eaten up by UFC again like in 2008. If what you say is true, that Floyd puts people off boxing (With 2.4, 2.2, 4.4 million PPVs sold among others), we'll see how true that is. We have GGG vs Lemieux and Cotto vs Canelo to where Floyd left off. We also have a couple more Pacquiao fights left next year.
I think boxing just lost the guy that was keeping the UFC in its place, but you guys say otherwise so let's see if that's true. I think Ronda Rousey will crush boxing the next 2 years.
We''ll see how many people come back to watch boxing now that Floyd is gone, just like in the poor 2008 boxing had, where boxing was flooded with so many new fans that UFC raped it.
Who are you going to swear your allegiance to now that Floyd is no longer an active boxer? Just fighters associated with Haymon in general?

What the hell are you barefoot morons going to incessantly cry about without him though?
