Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Toys With YouTuber Deji Olatunji, Stops Him In 6th Round Of Exhibition

Great performance from Floyd. Can’t see how he couldn’t be considered to the welterweight elites of today

he’s so naturally gifted. Truly the greatest of all time

Early stoppage, Bayless bailed out Floyd there

Deji was coming on strong, busting up Floyd’s eye too. Floyd lands 3 shots and the ref jumps in.

Lol Deji did more damage to Floyd than Canelo did

Who the hell is Deji anyway? I mean I never even heard of these Paul brothers until they somehow got into boxing. Boxing is just a huge joke ATM. I mean, is Zelenoff gonna get an exhibition fight next? Where does this end?

The little brother of KSI, I don’t even know what KSI does either

I know these people like the Paul brothers were already extremely famous. They just appealed to a different generation. Where as the majority of this forum probably grew up watching their stars on TV, young teens and kids today watch theirs on YouTube. There isn’t a single boxer that can compete with them and their media following.

Jake Paul is the biggest star in boxing right now. It might not seem so to the hardcore boxing fans, but if you’re talking about pure name recognition in popular culture (for what it’s worth), he is.

Whole card was a pretty terrible.

Franklin Manzanilla is beyond washed, but I’m interested in seeing more of Jadier Herrera, he looked good.

And interested to see Floyd’s prospect Ingram , but not in a 3 round exhibition like tonight against a kickboxer .

It is really sad because it just drags boxing down. You had some celebrity fights in the past but it was just celebrity vs celebrity and I guess it got casuals into boxing but it does not seem like it has the same impact here. The attention span of these kids is maybe 2 min at best today, so them sitting and watching boxing or waiting till midnight to watch a main event is not gonna happen

KSI and Deji are like the british paul brothers. they just have a youtube channel and do whatever dumb chit on it the same way the paul brothers do, they are just bigger in england than the US

Floyd vs Avanesyan, I'm picking Floyd.

[sicko]

How does it drag down boxing, if anything it raises boxing to new heights, you've got people watching who'd never consider watching boxing.

Ultimately even if you convert a tiny fraction to fans of the sport it's huge.

And also these events are actively the most engagement any of these boxing promotions socials and such get, it's invaluable.

We're in a microwave society, it's not just "kids" who've got limited attention spans, it's quite a naïve outlook to assume that's the case.

But if we get down to brass tacks, it's ultimately about what is a money-spinner and what isn't and for better or worse, this is a money-spinner for now at least until the novelty wears off.
