Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr: I'm Not A Mayweather Fan; Paul Fight Is Making Mockery Of Boxing

[Roadblock]

It's 100% true. These freakshows are taking money and attention away from real prize fighters it's a joke

It may appear that way on paper, the thing is the money they make would not go into other fighters it stays where it is, the money appears with the event not the other way around.

Its like saying piracy of photoshop costs Adobe a fortune when the reality these people stealing photoshop would never have bought it anyway.

This stuff started in the 1800s when Wild Bill Cody started doing a circus of his name, people pay for entertainment its the world we live in and today plastic BS sells more than it ever did.

He's not a Mayweather fan because Mayweather, even in and out of retirement, fights more than him and makes more money than him.



Then don't hate the player, hate the game, otherwise you're a hypocrite.

Bro I was about to read a bunch of comments half of them bull**** I’m sure to ultimately post a less articulate version of this! Well done!

He has a point as Floyd is all about the money fights now. If the money makes sense he will do it. He can't risk 50-0 record so he only does exhibition fights now if the money is worth it.

And what of the point where he says he would do it lol.

If there’s a YouTuber that dislikes me and says they want to fight me, we can make some money. Once again, I’m not against the hustle

For all of the hypocrites -
How much will Floyd Mayweather Jr. earn vs. Logan Paul?

''SportingFree reported Mayweather was guaranteed $10 million in base salary and 50 percent pay-per-view shares — a considerable amount more than Paul is expected to make.''

Yes, every MFer would do they same shlt if they could.

10 million is low af. He got 32 million for berto. And 120 million for pacquiao.


If 10 million is all he's getting. He should have fought a real boxer

10 mil + 1/2 the sales
Take a guess at the difference between the Berto fight and this EXHIBITION MATCH with LP

50 percent??!! No wonder he's trying so hard to sell this bull****!!

Cmon, tell us how a business man like yourself would have done it.

[just the facts]

I think this stuff is garbage and no way in hell will they get one cent from me but if any real professional fighter claims he'd pass if they offered him that kind of money for such an easy fight, he's lying.

Exactly

No one is forced to buy these EXHIBITION MATCHES.

Evidently, there's a niche for it.

Pretty sure Floyd made more money in the exhibition against that undersized Asian kickboxer than Russell has in his entire career. Maybe if he fought more than 8 times in the last 7 YEARS, he'd have a fanbase willing to pay to watch him. Besides, didn't his goofy ass talk about retiring not too long ago? So to sum Russell up, very talented, fights once in a blue moon, got schooled by Loma, is past prime, recently hinted at retirement. Great ambassador for the sport right there.
