seems the money has dried up. With interest rates going up and recession kicking in nobody is taking the bigger business risks they used to.
They were overpaying these guys for these exhibitions. this isnt 2018 with near zero interest rates where they doing dumb chit like signing up GGG to fight romanian cabbage farmers on a 100 million dollar contract
Mayweather not even being able to get a TV deal despite his name is a good sign, expect to see them stop overpaying guys like crawford to fight lithiuanian uber drivers. Maybe hard financial times will force the top guys to actually fight each other
Problem is Floyd got desperate he spends more than he makes nowadays so he had to spam these circus shows. An exhibition is ok against other former big name combat athletes but against the nobodies Floyd was facing is just flat out embarrassing.
But expect Floyd to BS his guzzlers and say "10mill is what I got".
In the same way as Hearn didn't understand the US market, a lot of Americans don't understand the UK scene. Somebody out there thought 'Floyd is a big name, UK fans love boxing, we'll put the 2 together and make a lot of money'.
Plus it shows it doesn’t really matter who are you are, you still need a good dance partner
and that applies even more when you’re not really relevant anymore.
Floyd versus Jake Paul would do good numbers because of Jake Paul too. Floyd against some no mark from a reality TV show just doesn’t have the same pull
That’s also why the boxing fans need to stop paying for garbage fights and cards in real boxing. Don’t give them a penny and let the numbers and money dwindled and you’ll soon start seeing the best fights being made.
floyd has made it clear this is just a bit of messing around to showcase what skills he has left in a safe environment for him, thats what u are paying for with these things
