    TRT got banned...not Belfort. Belfort was never banned from the UFC.

He refuses to give Jake Paul the payday because he says that's not boxing even though he knows its 50 Mil for about 6 mins work. He could have followed Floyd's lead since the McGregor fight but he didn't. He has money He doesn't need to sell his respect or as some people like to call it..."legacy".
      We’ll see what happens when he retires

      I mean Floyd wasn’t taking part in circus fights at 30 either, so it’s not comparable.

      When Canelo is older and retired and has no huge paydays incoming on the level he had in his career and someone then offers him one to fight a famous person, then it might be different.

        I think by the time Canelo gets to that stage this stuff will be long dead. They've already jumped the shark this year with the freakshows and it feels like more and more people are getting bored of (or annoyed by) it.

          Holyfield was over the hill when he fought Mike Tyson and that was 24 -25 years ago. Embarrassing he is so broke that he must do this at that age.

            If he becomes a compulsive gambler or womaniser who needs those kind of paydays sure...but don't speculate that Floyd and Canelo have the same mentality. Canelo is a winner but not a poser. He's not going around flashing his cash or wasting it on expensive ***ellery or toys in order to maintain status. Floyd may just end up being the next Holyfield.

              I watched the whole telecast. I wanted to see what the fuss was about. My summary:
              1. There is an entire place in hell set aside for Triller. I am not saying the people, but the organization.
              2. The music was embarrassing. I would rather laugh at a dog pooping. They can’t even be bothered to spend the money to make it sound good. I saw guitars and bass but heard only drums and vocals in an echo chamber.
              3. If Holyfield was fifteen years younger, the stoppage would have been an atrocity. It did not appear that he was hurt at all (perhaps the body shot) and he immediately argued the stoppage. He likely was just trying to get his bearings to find a way to attack out of the onslaught. That said, you can’t argue the stoppage. What you can have beef with is it does not appear that they told Holyfield that they will be extremely eager to stop it if this happens. That seems unfair.
              4. The language and the behavior of the people involved are horrid.
              5. Shawn Porter acted like a puppet that was paid to commentate but legitimize the whole program. It was transparent.

                      co-signed. You could randomly pick any three members of Boxingscene and the commentating would have been superior. That's how embarrassing the Triller team is.
