Anything after mcgregor was a complete waste of time. The mcgregor fight I give a pass because it was a 1st of its kind in that magnitude but I never wanted to see people make a living out of it like Floyd and Jake.
Anyone else find these Floyd exhibitions getting really lamer and lamer?

Im one of the biggest Floyd fans on NSB. I havent watched one exhibition other than the Conor fight.
Theyve been lame from the start imo. But hey, when you retire as the best in your era you get opportunities to earn money like this.
The only value I see would be giving lower level guys he promotes some air time.Comment

Not watching any of them. He's been very upfront about what they are... robberies. He's making money. Just doesn't need to be mine. If he wants to put on shows at the level of YouTubers and OnlyFans, that's his business, quite literally. I'm not going to criticize because he's Money May. If it's working and that's what he wants, good for him.Comment

I don't watch them, but I think they're more acceptable now given how far removed he is from the pro ranks. It's just an old ex fighter earning some coin. Instead of doing sportsman's dinner speeches, he fights exhibitions.
I used to think it was damaging his and and the sport's credibility. Maybe the YouTubers have just lowered my standards on what is acceptable.Comment

Even broke ex NBA players, like Iverson maybe, who has a lot of fanbase maybe even more than Floyd, don’t get to this very reduced level.Comment

Another point to consider is that he is making a mockery of the sport, the sport at which he excelled. The sport in which a man can literally die.
Boxing is an art, and he is practicing that art near a dumpster.
Some people might start thinking that boxing is about posing and swinging punches from a mile away and catching them on your face flush and then some more posing, which it is not.
i truly admired what floyd was, what he made for himself and his family with boxing but this mockery ain’t one of them.. even the diehard fanboys gotta admit it.Comment

That wasn't an exhibition, but it should have been. It was sanctioned as a genuine boxing match and counted towards Floyd's record-setting record, despite McGregor never before having a pro boxing match. These kinds of shenanigans are what brings the criticism down on Floyd. The current exhibitions and now the Gotti event "brawl" may put money in his pocket, but damn, does he look ridiculous!Comment

He should stop because it's embarrassing but Mayweather is broke that's why he can't stop doing exhibition.Comment
