There is no way this will be bad for boxing, or MMA. Floyd will win a UD, and we will have a GREAT under card. It will make boxing look good by nights end.
WHat is the problem? It's not like there is an alternative fight that this is stealing. Canelo- GGG already have their date.
What is the big problem?
What a bout a quality undercard??
I will criticize bad matchups and praise good matchups.
A few good undercards isn't going to change that the main event was pathetic.
Because this is a garbage cash grab fight.
Fraud wants that #50, there's Thurman or the winner of this weekend's fight. Instead he's choosing someone that's 0-0. No boxing experience amateur and pro, and not hiding the fact that this is only for money.
This is akin to a world champion soccer team playing an American football team and having the football players play soccer. And duping the world that this will be a high scoring game with lots of excitement, all you have to do is shell out $70-$100.
lol Floyd couldn't care less about the 50, its already a broken record it don't mean nothing other than a number, one over 49 and one under 51, that is no record of anything as a few guys have already done it.
Its ALL about the MONEY.
Why would i get mad at any man taking 100 million dollars for easy work....you have to be an idiot not to do what floyd is doing and there isn't a fighter alive who wouldn't do the same. That said, the fight it's self is a joke and i won't pay for it.
2 completely different sports so them being 2 of the best fighters mean nothing.
An MMA fighter can be nothing in the boxing ring and a boxer can be nothing in the octagon.
People look at the name and seem to forget the rest of the facts.
What a bout a quality undercard??
Why an embarrassment though? MMA could say the same if Floyd decided to take on an MMA fighter in an octagon..I can't see how this is an embarrassment, it;s a fight
This is the 2 best fighters of our generation..

The problem is its Floyd, if it were Manny not much negative crap would be said about the fight just the mild uproar like he gets for Horn. The list of guys wanting to fight Connor is a line, and Manny was one of them in that line, so was Oscar sprucing about Canelo, the real deal with those guys is jealousy.
Its because its Floyd, everybody else is always forgiven for everything, even when they do exactly the same sht it is only Floyd is always evil lol .
49-0 Berto
50-0 Connor
Topic: "Why are people knocking this fight so hard?"
I may have missed it if it has happened but soon Floyd's fans will be saying Floyd is fighting Connor who is an undefeated boxer! :lol1:
I'm a mayweather fan but this fight is a joke. And I'm pretty sure they are going to charge 100 dollars for the ppv to cover the large guarantees of mayweather and mcgregor.
If this was going to be on cbs or some free channel I would be all for it.
But also this fight could potentially kill boxing because let's be honest floyds KO days are far behind him even fighting mcgregor I give him a 50/50 chance. If Floyd just gives him a boxing lesson for 12 rounds in front of a 75 percent casual/ mma crowd boxing will be boo'd into extinction. The general public will not except a 12 round embarrassment of mcgregor they want blood.
That would make boxing appear great. The nations greatest boxers and HOF'er fkloyd, beating mma;s great..how would that be bad for boxing? WIth he word to see
Outside of Canelo nobody is a draw anymore. It is not a good thing that Floyd coming back for an exhibition can outsell the rest of the sport combined.
Boxing fans are notorious snobs and jerks. Imagine the story of Goldilocks but instead of 3 things with 1 being just right there are about 100 with about the middle 3 being acceptable if you are at 52 or 48 someone is making gagging sounds and crying because it is not quite right.
Not to say that this fight is anything boxing fans should be that excited for this fight or care much, it is just one of those attraction fights. It doesn't mean anything but why does every fight have to have greater meaner and can't just be taken for what they are. This obviously being a cash grab but that can be good for the sport because that gives the sport an infusion of capital that is always needed. Plus if Tank and Jack are on the under card that is a good spot for them to gain extra exposure.
Good post.

It's bad for boxing because it's an embarrassment for boxing.
The fight is a money fight. It doesn't change that this is clearly a mismatch. You can't complain about mismatches then WANT a mismatch.

This is the 2 best fighters of our generation..
Yeah the just bleed crowd that will actually pay for this farce isn't going to be wowed by Floyd's defensive wizardry. Lol they will savage this joke..
That is a very real possibility. Good point..

Because it's Mayweather. There's no belts, rankings etc involved. Him dominating the top MMA guy will make boxing look better to the casuals. They don't have to watch if they don't want to. BUT they still cry just because it's Mayweather.
It will be terrible for boxing. Once we again we get to hear how "boring" boxing is and how it never lives up the the hype and how Floyd ran from the "real" fighter all night and how he never actually wanted to exchange with Conor and ripped everyone off again.
It's pure garbage..
