Finally
“Pacquiao was mouthing off so he can get it again too. I heard they were speaking about fighting again, but I don’t know what the talks at the fights were (really) about.” - Floyd Mayweather Sr
I'm happy for both if they make this fight again and I might watch it too. But I'm not as intrigued as before. I want to see Pac against these younger generations where he might still have a chance to elevate his legacy, not this 'money' fight.
Floyd Sr has had health issues for a long ass time. And the boxing career probably doesn't help out as you age.
Hell man Floyd Sr had his last fight in the late 80's or early 90's but I think there was some video a month ago of him sparring with some cat.
So while he's not fought fought in 30ish years he's still fighting in the gym now ffs. Idk that that is all that intelligent to be doing for a 60 something year old guy.
Panda did you watch the whole video? Paper on the wall? That sounded like he was trying to explain what a poster was, then switched it to the tv. It could very well be the start of some type of mental issues.
You guys should actually watch the interview. Floyd Sr. has Alzheimer's or something
She needs to stop harassing Floyd Sr for interviews. She stays in the Mayweather gym trying to get Floyd Sr to confirm a comeback. Floyd Sr is clearly not right in the head and needs to be left alone.

Yeah his brain is in bad shape clearly.
To think in the early 00's both him and Roger were quick witted, fast talkers. Now Roger is totally fucked and Sr ain't far off.
You can retire from Boxing and be seemingly fine but all those blows to the head are a slow burner, they'll catch up to you as time goes on.
I agree. However you will be watching and I'll be watching it and everyone else on this forum will be watching it (if it happens).
which means its not pointless. The whole point of boxing is not about titles or pound for pound spots. Its a sport its entertainment. So it wont be pointless if they decide to fight again.
Money isn't pointless. Especially for Floyd & Manny.
Can't see it being more popular than the first fight obviously but I don't think its in the least bit unreasonable to suggest the floor on this fight is 1.5M PPV buys & the ceiling might be 2M, 2.5M. If this is a $100 PPV again thats $150M-$250M in revenue from PPV.
Thats putting it in the top 5 fights of all time I believe & its for sure in the top 10 of all time. Hell if its only $80 it'd still be in the top ten biggest revenue generating fights of all time.
That said I don't think its likely to happen so w/e, but if it did happen it'll still be among the biggest fights in boxing history. These are still the biggest names of the last era of boxing & mfers are nostalgic as all get out about this sorta bs.
Well yeah, it'll sell.
But from a boxing stand point it's pointless.
Two shells of their former selves in their 40's.

I think he either burned his brain with drugs, or more likely he has just been hit in the damn head too much
Floyd needs to rematch pac to show he cares about being fotd.
Beating Pac won't make Floyd it, but at least it shows he cares and he will be in the running
