First fighting a non-boxer MMA fighter in the boxing ring, now fighting a 20 year old bantamweight kickboxer that not many know about. Is this really what boxing has degenerated to now? It has to be a sick joke.
Floyd on Lomachenko's win over Rigondeaux:
“I never fought a guy that was that small. He was smaller than that. Honestly, they didn't look like they belonged in the ring together."
What are you doing now floyd?
it's a money fight doe! it's part of the pop culture.

Floyd has fought hard chasing the money most of his career. I'm not buying this fight but I can't hate on him cashing out on these fights if people are going to pay him what he wants.
Floyd's just doing his thing. If you're interested, watch the fight. If you're not interested, don't watch the fight. I don't really understand the outrage - I mean, he took time out to do a WWE storyline when he was legit P4P so taking on a kickboxer when he's in retirement doesn't seem so bad!
Don't get it twisted though, Floyd's career ain't about boxing anymore so people trying to say it makes boxing look bad are reaching. Floyd puts on events now & that's it.
If thats how you feel, fine. People watched the Big Show fight on Wrestlemania and people in droves purchased and illegally streamed the Conor fight.
The only thing I question is why you think massive pop culture events are "sideshows" or "circus acts"?
Those by definition are usually low paying events for someone that is no longer relevant in their sport. Here Floyd is capitalizing off his success in fights like this and the ones described above while retaining his relevancy in his primary sport.
I think we can agree, could very easily fight a legitimate boxing match again if he chose to. So you saying he is a joke and a sell out seems more like you being upset he can do this or jealous that a guy you like can't.what sport is that? gayweather jr is having to make a spectle of himself. this fight won't even be a major ppv event. its not even a boxing match. if you want relevant he should be coming back to fight spence.
Then WHY post? :rofl:
Why post you ask?
This whole thing really doesn't mean anything to me. I saw that there was a fight taking place between a big name boxer like Floyd against a relatively unknown kickboxer and felt the need to mock it for sh#ts and giggles and also given how ridiculous it is. And yet somehow I feel like I might have struck a nerve, given how your responses came across.
not a circus act, just a clown lol
if you heard Floyd doing this 5-8 years ago, people would be laughing their *ss off LMFAO
But hey, he already fought an MMA fighter
Clowns hate on T.B.E. cuz they don't know how to fight & bank like T.B.E. & wish they could.
ur hero is a big time fraud. cherry picking a young 20 yr old flyweight kid. fresh and full of life only to have it suddenly end when much bigger floyd completely brutalizes him. a young kid with a once bright future will end this year because of ur desperate hero need for more money. pathetic.
Your the fraud. We still waiting for your proof.
look. ur hero avoided many tough prime fighters. that's just the truth. prime pac, prime cotto, prime margarito, prime paul williams, martinez, mosley etc. etc. u can bring up whatever propaganda article u want. but facts are facts. fact is he waits until guys are far past their prime and war torn before facing them.
ur hero is a fraud and he is going a step further by picking on a 20 yr old flyweight non-boxer hahahahahahahahahhaa. worry about defending ur hero's failing reputation rather than his past cherry picking.
Show us proof that he avoided them.
nice little fictional story. but truth is he avoided many fighters in their prime. him fighting a barely 20 yr old is the pinnacle of his cherrypicking disgracefulness hahahhahahahahahahaaha. too funny. deal with it.
Show us the proof.
