Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Asakura Exhibition Confirmed For September in Japan; Date, Location, Rules To Come

[Carpe Diem]

Floyd retired from the sport undefeated,healthy and wealthy and still managed to end his career on a sad note. He needs to stop this before someone eventually lands a lucky punch that would make people forget all the great things he did in his prime.

I don’t see anything wrong with these exhibitions. Those “fights” don’t go on the record book, they’re called exhibitions for a reason. What would’ve been sad is if he were still trying to compete as a full time
boxer nowadays going against the likes of Spence, Crawford, etc.

Incoming: people crying and complaining
Also incoming: people praising and worshiping

Feels like there’s very few people like myself who doesn’t care about stuff like this & doesn’t tip either way. I liked Floyd in the ring. His time has passed & the sport has moved on. Let him do his exhibitions. If you don’t like it just don’t watch. If you do, good for you.

I’m not personally interested in exhibitions just like I’m not interested in the NFLs pro bowl or the NBAs all star games because they’re simply not real. They’re novelty events nothing more. Nothing to cry or complain about & nothing to do backflips over. Nor would I ever insult someone for choosing to tune in or not tune in. Boxing fans are just silly, and most times embarrassing

It will be another cringe fest of watching Floyd bully a skinny boy. While sadistically smiling.

This another Japanese child like the last one?

who or what are these exhibitions for besides a cash grab by Floyd? People don’t even know Floyd just recently fought. It’s obvious floyd is no where near in his prime anymore and is shadow of himself. Floyd is picking no hopers because he knows he is done but yet he keeps these exhibitions going as a way to still box while not having to go in there with active real boxers.

And and it’s only a matter of time until Floyd gets hit with something he wouldn’t get caught with in his sleep to one of these low level opponents. You can see it in Floyd’s entourage after the last exhibition they want him to stop this but they know Floyd does not like being told what to do.

Many don't think floyd s career was that good anyway and critic ize many aspects of it.
If he gets koed many will just say I told you he was overated. So it don't matter in reality.
But id prefer Floyd to make a come back and beat nel o in a rematch and be GOAT, rather than exhibitions. But I like exhibitions just hope Floyd don't get paid too much for them as it keeps him away from the real boxers

when floyd fought tenshin a couple years ago, he fought a bantamweight kickboxer.
floyd had a 183 to162cm reach advantage. SAD that floyd needs that kind of advantage...

this time, asakura is bigger than tenshin.
but maybe 1 class lighter than floyd. he's a hard hitting mma guy, unorthodox style, never been Koed.
i'm 100% sure this will be under boxing rules, where asakura wll be a major underdog.
nonetheless, asakura's got a punchers chance. i don't see either guy finishing.

At least this time, he's somewhat similar size to floyd.

There's people still interested in watching an old azzz 100 yr old retired boxer lose a fight??? Sad

My man Money Mayweather! The smartest business man this sport has ever seen. He”s been officially retired for five years now and yet making Millions of dollars outside of the ring. Say what you will but the man is not only a champ, all-time great and HOF but a genius as well.
