Anyone else find these Floyd exhibitions getting really lamer and lamer?

    Floyd is not the only retired fighter with 50 wins and no losses. Ever heard of Ricardo Lopez? And Lopez is a great fighter/Hall of famer
    Yes, I have heard of Lopez. Mayweather holds the American record & he set it on the cheap.

      So let me get this straight. Because somebody is critical of Floyd Mayweather and how he conducted his boxing, that means they hate the person? Gtfoh.

      And all this coming from you who always is calling people ******. They don't know nothing about boxing, and bla bla bla.

      Get this ydksab hypocrite out of here, and anybody who thinks like him.
      Criticism and hate are two different things you of all fools should know that, if you want to see pure chronic hate spewing like a sewer pipe read your own posts.

        You are correct at a certain level, we may never get to know 100% of who they are or all of what they do, but more than 30 years of living in the public eye, living in a fish bowl, living as a celebrity we get to watch them all the time, from HBO 24/7, to showtime all access, to news, to social media posts, to stories, we are not that ****** to not be able to connect the dots or deduce at a certain level what kind of people they are. We know what kind of people the Kardashians are, or Tom Cruise, we know who we want to vote for office...
        you mean to say none of what's happening in the media, or social media even, is true at a certain level? none of Floyd's court cases, battery and domestic violence issues blow some smoke to the fire?

        I thought I been harsh with my comment just in response to body bags trolling, but I certainly do appreciate a lot of Floyd's qualities, certainly there's a lot of them for him to reach the level of success he had. And his bad qualities were necessary for him to acquire that. But I still stand firm on who's life I want between him and Pacquiao which was the focus of my comment.
        I have a view that the media are the biggest distorters of truth there is so I never just swallow what their status quo is, I guess it comes from my many years of fighting media and politicians concerning the American Pitbull Terrier which I was the first to import them into Aus in the early 80s, I have seen first hand the twisted lies that were put out to sell the Cujo story. In a very similar way, Floyd was sold and marketed as the evil one while Manny was sold and marketed as the White Knight it was all about selling the image and rivalry they played their roles because it was filling up their bank accounts, everything including so-called on purpose leaks put out to the public was edited to sell the narrative..

        I don't know either man on a personal level so I don't judge them based on what is spoon-fed via media they are renowned for embellishing any angle they think sells copy, for all you know Manny could be a really bad person and Floyd the opposite we just don't know, my personal opinion is they are probably both good people that played the same game their way to build a successful career, I bet in their inner circle they are both loved, I just cant fathom how strangers hold such strong beliefs from hearsay.

        I actually make more of a judgement on people in here than the celebrities they talk about, what they write in person is a strong indication of their personality intelligence and values.

          I'm sure Floyd's making a profit on these exhibitions. I just don't see fans paying top dollar to watch an aging fighter face celebrities.

            So all his issues, all his court cases, domestic abuse and battery, his daughter stabbing somebody, his close friend 50 cent getting on his back, even Justin Bieber.. are all media made and media fault? So there's absolutely zero fire to all the smoke?

            Manny Pacquiao is not sold as a white knight, he got known as a white knight, people knew him here in the Philippines before he even got famous, they know what kind of life he lives here. Even when he poops gets reported here. Like I said they live in a fishbowl, all eyes is on you, no issues get unseen, you can only portray for so long and soon be exposed and seen about what you truly are.

              If he was doing them with other retired boxers I'd probably watch. The recent Hatton-Barrera one was quite enjoyable.
