Mayweather Vs. McGeeggor has ruined image of Boxing

What ruined the image of boxing was the Canelo/GGG fight. Floyd/Mac was what it everyone knew it was, a side show for money, but it ended up being more entertaining than people thought. Oscar kept hyping up Canelo/GGG as a real fight that was going to be a war, it was a good fight, however, people were talking more about the judges than the fight. You got Oscar running his mouth , most of the people who watched the fight thought GGG won, but yet Oscars fighter Canelo gets the benefit from the judges once again.

Now every fucking celebrity/sports personality thinks they can box like Rio Ferdinand. Or it'll be George Foreman challenging Steven Segal to a boxing match which the latter can use kicks. It's turned boxing casuals' opinions even worse. Smfh This all started with Mayweather/McGreggor. If it wasn't for that fight. Ok Oscar... We get it, you don't like Mayweather and he took all the attention from Canelo for about a month and half. He's retired now so you can stop with the "Mayweather ruined boxing" thing now. It's getting old.

Canelo ruined boxing with all his cat weights. Floyd brought more money and fans than any boxer. Stupid thread. What does Canelo have to do with it?

Floyd supposedly the greatest fighter of this era arguably lost 4 rounds against an MMA fighter with no boxing experience, I dont care if it was strategic reasons thats a huge embarassment IMO Yea I agree he should have made a statement by beating him down in every round.

It honestly feels like that fight is already forgotten.

How did it ruin the image of boxing? Mayweather showed boxers are superior pugilists. It silenced UFC fans who go on about "MMA fighters can box just as good as any boxer but choose not to and can beat any boxer....yada yada yada".

Floyd supposedly the greatest fighter of this era arguably lost 4 rounds against an MMA fighter with no boxing experience, I dont care if it was strategic reasons thats a huge embarassment IMO Not when you consider he was 40 and 20 pounds lighter also the fact of his hands and him being a completely defence first fighter boxing is a small part of the UFC so he does have experience albeit limit experience Although I agree with the thread that Forman and segal is getting out of hand ��

No if anything its enhanced it The way you attract casuals to become more avid followers is to show high contact fights between high profile fighters Rio is probably doing it for personal reasons...as a personal challenge. Hes had personal tragedies. I doubt he sees himself as a equivalent as a mma fighter transitioning to boxing.

So WHAT! It brought $ & fans base. I bet you wouldn't have ANY issues if it were YOU. Stop being a party pooper dude. :sucks:

I wouldn't say that, Freddie Flintoff tried it years ago :lol1: Mayweather/McGregor wasn't that bad. Let's face it he's the best fighter in the UFC and fans wanted it. Maybe not hardcore fans but there was way too much interest for it not to happen. We all knew Floyd was gonna win, but people have always wanted to see a great boxer vs a great MMA fighter and we got to see it. Funny how now people are acting like Conor was just some bum off the streets. There's always tons of bogus fights and mismatches in boxing this is nothing new. A lot of fights have been a joke. I'm not for celebrities trying the sport either but you can't blame Floyd or anyone else for that, blame the networks who show it! If the networks rejected the idea it wouldn't happen. They just want ratings. It's not gonna ruin boxing either way. Boxing will always grow and evolve.
