So Pacqiao vs the Korean YouTuber was a legit fight? What about the next 5 exhibition fights he’ll have?

Also, clearly you did not read the Joe Louis article - the guy made a lot of money AND people paid for them. Unless your definition of “scam” only applies to Floyd.

Dude we not talking about Joe Louis or Manny or MJ or Foreman selling grills.

Don't try to defend Floyd by pulling other boxers in it.

Floyd himself has used the words steal some money to describe what he's doing now. Didn't this fool wear a ski mask to the ring one time? Scamming the public sounds about right.

You ever heard the proverb “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”?
If it was good for Joe Louis, Ali and now Manny to fight exhibition fights, it has to be good for Floyd too.
It is hypocritical to criticize Floyd while ignoring the other ATG that have done the same exact thing.

It’s simple common sense. Pacqiao has stated he will continue to do exhibitions after he fought the Korean YouTuber. You know he’s getting paid so really, how is that different from Floyd?

We not talking about geese. We talking about Floyd claiming he didn't need to box no more because of these smart investments and how these other guys had to still fight past their expiration date and what not. Talking out the side of his neck as usual.

You can't even admit he said this crap because it deads your excuses.

Now that the fights are zero risk this dude is fighting like 5x a year.

Just keep it a buck and just say hey man i need these exhibitions to pay some bills and i am scared of fighting somebody who could actually hit me back and nobody would criticize him.

Do you even know what a proverb is?

Floyd is retired. He can do whatever he wants and that includes following the blue prints of Ali and Joe Louis who both fought a bunch of exhibitions after they retired.
Pacqiao is now following Floyd and so will Cotto, Hatton and Marquez.

is this the next Youtuber he's knocking out? he should have knocked Pacquiao, de la hoya or Maidana to get more respect. then again, they don't call him Fraud Mayweather for nothing

Yeah I don’t think his motivation to do these sort of events has anything to do with money. I think it’s purely because he still needs the spotlight and can’t let it go.

I think it’s quite sad, like him or not Floyd is an ATG and can be put into conversations with any of the boxing greats. Instead, he’s associating himself with these YouTuber influencer clowns in some desperate attempt remain relevant.

I don’t think making millions of dollars to do what comes second nature to you is sad at all. I WISH I could make even $1,000 bucks a pop doing what I do on the side once I retire and I have a 110k salary right now. Let alone being able to travel and stay in nice spots on other folks money while I keep mine in the bank and invest. Let Floyd be great. Lol. We don’t have to feel sorry for him.

Embarrassment. Shouldn’t be allowed to post these non-fights here

[CasperUK]

The greatest fighter of his generation resorting to this. Floyd continually amazes me with the lengths he’ll go to stay in the limelight.

For a guy who makes "billions per year" according to himself and his fans, he sure is stooping to new lows in these money grabs.

[Lomadeaux]

If something like this was occurring anywhere near where I live and someone offered me a free ringside ticket, I would throw it right in the trash. Blows my mind that anyone has any interest in these things.

I agree 100%

Paquiao isn't having this exhibition, Gayweather is.
