Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Reacts To Lower Than Expected Turnout at O2 Arena

[archiemoore1]

UK fans are real boxing fans, meaning they wanna see a real boxer vs. a real boxer, not some damned WWE level event between a boxer and an MMA guy or against a kickboxer, or a Youtuber. UK has a storied history in boxing going back to the bareknuckle era. They don't wanna pay to see a farce. And that's how this should be viewed. Archie Moore put his ass on the line for fans until he was well into his 50's. So did Bernard Hopkins. They never lost their faculties. Bernard is articulate as he ever was. Saoul Mamby had a pro fight when he was around 60 against a real boxer. So Floyd being like 46 and saying he won't fight a real boxer, is getting corny to the world. Its cool, its your choice, but then if that's the case, go sit your ass down and eat some milk and cookies and sit in your rocking chair. Stop forcing this played out, BS niche market on fans that no one wants to see. Redeem yourself fool! Fight an exhibition with Antonio Margarito, who u ran from like a theif in the night when u were both in your prime. Fight an exhibition with Kostya Tszyu. Fight old man GGG, since you were talking all this BS how u would best him easy. Fight a young killer like Boots Ennis, like Robinson and all the other greats would have done, or take ur BS 50-0 record with Connor McGregor on it as one of ur so-called official wins, and go sit your narrow ass down somewhere lol

when floyd wasnt getting the love he wanted in the states he often said he was more popular in the uk than at home

He needs to fight someone interesting in these exhibitions. McGregor and Logan were interesting. Logan because he’s so much bigger than Floyd, and McGregor because he’s the biggest selling UFC fighter in history.

He should at least fight a fighter with a name if he’s going to keep doing this.

I want to apologize to the Brits on behalf of Floyd. He did call you guys stingy and cheap, BUT that is far from what I have seen.
When a good fight is on, the Brits fill up the arenas with 50K wild boxing fans.

When they support a fighter or their fighter is fighting in Vegas they come in plane loads and are loud about it.

In this case, don't blame the buyer, blame the product.

Floyd wants people to spend money on him as he tells you to your face he is robbing you (legally).

Brits are the best boxing fans in the world in my opinion.

I thought Mayweather was a superstar and PPV king? What's going on here?

This was bound to happen. The appetite for these exhibitions is gone. Floyd either needs a real opponent, a better name for an exhibition or go back to WWE.

.....so i guess making money off all these smart investments, staying out of the ring because he was retired and it would be a health risk, wasn't an option after all

...how about he do like his pops and Uncle Roger did and train the next generation of guys and hang up prizefighting for good...did he think he was going to make a career out of fighting 0 risk opponents?

Exhibitions are acceptable and could be a fun event when it involves certain fighters, guys who were at least exciting .. But when you have one of the most fighters in Boxing trying to face some fkin joe blow on PPV, naw that ain't gonna work. Brits are stingy? lol what a ****** thing to imply. Maybe Brits are just smarter with their money than gullible Americans will fall for anything. I never paid for a Mayweather PPV when he was active and i sure as hell aint going to pay anything to watch him stink out the joint against a fkn Joe blow.
