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?

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!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.

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

Yeahh he was bragging left and right how rich and secured his life is, then he take on losers while looking like one for a few cents. Man, I don’t get floyd.
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

it is man, i had bad days with Floyd, but I have always put him up to a high standard esp when it comes to his sport where he is a genius, add to the fact that he brags left and right about how rich he is and that he retired before 40, but now he’s taking on losers who don’t deserve to share the ring with him all while looking like a loser himself… he also said he made smart investments.. but now he fighting bums near 40 for some cents… i admire floyd and the life he made for himself and his family but this ain’t one of them..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.

This is very true. He was a genius in the ring but now he taking on losers while looking like one. Bums who don’t deserve to be in the ring with him just for a few loose coins. What happened to saying he made smart investments to keep him out of the ring lol.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

What happened to making smart investments he said himself. Bragging left and right how rich he is only to fight bums all while looking like one in a sport where he was considered a genius at. This level is very low tbh.

definitely letting him live, but man, these stuffs are really getting real low. I have really admired floyd and these stuffs just straight ridiculous no matter how much he could make from it. And it’s not very high in my opinion.
