    what is dumb is people getting in their feelings because Floyd created a revenue stream the guys they like haven’t been able to because they haven’t achieved what Floyd did in the ring.

    y’all can’t be this mad that a dude is enjoying his retirement and getting a check for it.
    Well, exhibitions aside, Ali was never seen as a sellout.

    Floyd, well, thats different story

      from the clips I saw, Ali Inoki was't fought as a boxing match, Inoki stayed on his ass throwing kicks at Ali's shins. Floyd-Paul was a straight up boxing match, and the guy who trained his whole life in the sport couldn't even put away an 0-1 youtuber who started training for only a few years, no matter how Floyd fanbois want to spin it, it was a bad look for Boxing and tarnished Floyd's legacy.

        Actually as ridiculous as that match was, as Inoki took it serious and done the hilarious leg kicking it actually caused big problems for Ali health wise supposedly.

          How this fool can even compare 1 show event of Ali with a wrestler against mayweather who has now done this 3 times and is literally stealing money out of someone’s wallet and taking naive people for fools.

            I could run the post Ali numbers after he was hospitalized in critical condition in a Japanese hospital, thank goodness in time to save his life, but it's too embarrassing, so may he rest in peace now...

              But maybe I missed it.
              That's what exhibitions are, matches without regular boxing rules that don't count on official records or legacies.

                What rules (or lack there of) allowed Logan Paul to win a round against Floyd Mayweather?

                  Can I compare Muhammad Ali's 3 show events to Floyd's 3? Because Ali had other exhibitions, one against NFL player Lyle Alzado and one against NHL player Dave Semenko.

                  Maybe keep your trap shut next time, stick to plunging those toilets.

                    The rule were there are no judges so no one officially scored any rounds?

                      That allowed him to outbox Mayweather in the first round?

                      That allowed him to go the distance with Mayweather?
