Is Mayweather Good or Bad for Boxing?

[Joan Guzman]

Nothing bad about having a Floyd in boxing.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Him as a fighter coming back is good and i like

But him coming back and bringing his obsession with splits, money, pvp sales, how much Arum gets of Pacs money etc lol is bad, we don't care we just want GOOD fights!!

If it makes other top fighters start being harder to deal with (ala Pac) and setup fights in the future then its bad!

Just remember back to January-May and think back to how many Mayweather threads were on here.



Every one should think back to that time and this will answer the thread question.

If i remember correctly 80% of threads every day were about Floyd.

Good point, but i really think that he has made a royal ass out of himself these last two interviews with Brian Kinney. It does give boxing fans a bad taste when he opens his mouth and makes himself look like a fool.

People talks a lot about him, so he's good for boxing.

Make no mistake. Boxing doesn't NEED Floyd. I don't like him personally, but will admit he's good for the sport. Boxing will do just fine with or without him. A lot of people seem concerned that boxing is dying. If you feel that strongly about boxing, and you're afraid it's going to fade out. Why not get as many mates as you can into it? A simple solution, that's what I do.

Nope, we are just going to boycott Mister Boat Buyer and we are going to watch UFC on the 19th.

I can't wait to hear his excuses, what is he going to do, blame Mexico? lol All the tickets that have been sold are from Marquez fans. I don't know of a single Floyd fan that purchased a ticket, does Floyd have any paying fans? Does not look like it to me.

Well what I was going for, and perhaps I mispoke, is that I was trying to say that Floyd doesn't carry boxing like he and some of his fans think he does. That being said, having a good fighter like him in the sport doesn't exactly damage it. Don't get me wrong, Floyd is one of my least favourite fighters in the sport, and to be honest I don't care about his PPV numbers. Will I be buying it? Absolutely, I'd love nothing more than to see Floyd's first loss. I'm just not denying that over his career he's created quite a bit of excitment, a decent following, and I think just as many people are going to buy this to see him lose as there are to see him win. I know why I'm getting it.
