Mayweather saved boxing. Canelo is killing it.

Damn, Canelo already tanked DAZN and now Showtime is getting out of the game. Boxing sure could use another Floyd Mayweather right now. Just saying. - - U needing another dose of TBE TUE featherdusting...priceless...:luvbed:

Oscar stalled the Floyd fight. That's a fact. Too much risk and not enough reward for Oscar. Lol so Oscar was supposed to stop making big $ matchups with prime ww's Tito, Quartey, Sugar Shane, up to 154 with Vargas and 160 with Hopkins, to appease you wanting him to fight a lw Floyd who brought nothing to the table, AND making a stinker of a fight. All of a sudden watching paint dry is a favorable option. ....and then what happened when he did become a draw. stalled cotto, shane, and manny, and basically avoided the welterweight division altogether with all the vacations and fake retirements

Mistake in the title, Mayweather killed boxing, Canelo trying to save it... but boxing is so dead that there is no point of return for this fighting game.

They both needed the DLH fight to crossover as house hold, mainstream names. Yep this is true. Oscar passed the torch.

Man Git yo Floyd boy azz outta here. Oscar made more significant fights at lightweight than Floyd did in his whole career and that isn't even debatable. Oscar stalled the Floyd fight. That's a fact. Too much risk and not enough reward for Oscar.

Lol Floyd couldn't even hurt a faded Oscar. Barely outpointed him in a split decision wtf are you talking about. His pops is on record saying he thought Oscar won. What you thought Oscar was scared of being ko'd by a guy who makes excuses for hand problems. Floyd was countering Oscar so bad he stopped throwing his jab. Oscar was scared of Floyd's power. Floyd even agreed to all of Oscar's demands. Ring size, glove size, the rules, etc. Oscar got everything he wanted and Floyd still won that fight easily, tbh. Unfortunately Oscar was the media golden boy and people overreacted to him having a few decent rounds. But Floyd won that fight pretty handily, the judge that didn't score it for him was a moron.

He fought Floyd late because he knew losing as an "old man" wouldn't hurt his legacy. Lol Floyd couldn't even hurt a faded Oscar. Barely outpointed him in a split decision wtf are you talking about.

Man Oscar waited plenty of guys out. Stop acting like that man was some of kind of deity. He fought Floyd late because he knew losing as an "old man" wouldn't hurt his legacy. Even though he was younger than Floyd was when Floyd fought Canelo, we all of a sudden we give Oscar a pass. 33 became the new 54. Man Git yo Floyd boy azz outta here.

Maan Oscar not only fought everybody, but fought them in their prime, even when he was shopworn. Ya'll sit here and listen to these delusional Floyd boys all you want, boxing will be minimal if you digress back to Mayweather era. Man Oscar waited plenty of guys out.

I wasn't a big DLH fan but the dude did fight everybody in his day. Mayweather made the A-side/B-side BS a bigger thing than it was before. And he made every fighter terrified of losing the "0" which has caused way fewer 50/50 fights. Nothing good for boxing from Mayweather.

Yup. They all hate it that Floyd took the guys they like to their highest heights. It’s hilarious watching guys pretend it was someone other than Floyd. . Listen to this garbage right here. Nobody. I mean Nobody. Was checking for Floyd until he finally secured a fight with Oscar and created that Money May sideshow act. Prior to that. He was stinking out the joint with guys like Carlos Baldymir so bad the camera would only focus on ringside. Prior to that Oscar was fighting any and everybody in their prime. THAT needs to be brought back. Floyd wasn't good for the sport he was good for Floyd and thats it.

There's more money in Boxing now than ever before. Canelo > Mayweather on many levels. Floyd invented the modern cherry pick and avoided many fighters throughout his career. Floyd also can't read or write, whereas Canelo's English is coming along great! Lying on the internet >>>

Nobody would have given a **** about Pac if it wasnt for people wanting to see him beat Floyd and comparing their performances against the same opponents. Thats why his first big PPV numbers came when he fought ODH and Hatton after Floyd did it. They both needed the DLH fight to crossover as house hold, mainstream names.

Fmj made boxers demand big $ for bs fights. Alvarez is watering down fights instead of fighting who he should.

load of craps!! young black rappers actually talk smack about floyd for stalling the fight with pacman "bu bu but i just want to be on an even playing field".... young black rappers see that as weakness. People paid to see floyd lose, all the "haters" were still buying PPV every time.

Floyd also can't read or write, whereas Canelo's English is coming along great! I think the money is more concentrated, its only among a few top boxers and then among the youtube idiots. I dont think its as spread out as it used to be. Where are all your welterweights doing near 1 million PPV? you used to have Tito, DLH, Vargas, Mosley, all fighting each other. You had ward-gatti things like that. Now days these guys Tank, Garcia ect they suck, nobody is paying for Haney he cant sell chit.

HBO already left, Im surprised showtime lasted as long as it did. 20 years ago, it was a big draw to have boxing on your channel, it drew in subscribers. They had both live fights and then PPV fights were shown "free" the next weekend. I used to watch it every week. Nobody follows boxing anymore, its not drawing in subscribers. people only care about shows like game of thrones now. So its not worth the cost of it to them. Plus i imagine all the old heads, the executives that we dont see behind the scene, most of them from the boxing era probably retired and the new guys see the low numbers and low interest in boxing. Also back in the day it was really only HBO and showtime for all big fighters, so there is like 50% chance you can sign the next big fighter. ESPN for the lower fights. Now things are spread all over the place, so showtime got to spend all this money only to get B class fighters at best and mostly C class fighters. They used to have mike tyson and even past his prime he would always sell PPV.

imagine believing this non-sense lmfao who started the PPV clown shows with MMA fighters? Mayweather. Who started the cherry picking world tour? Mayweather. Mayweather and PBC destroyed boxing. it's irrefutable.

Mayweather is the roots to the current problems we have in boxing right now. fight cab drivers and protect your 0
