Floyd Mayweather: "These fighters are getting paid too much"

[djtmal]

the difference with Floyd is .

When you see this from this guy, you know an elaborate excuse is forthcoming

So now the dude most overpaid for fighting c fighters and shopworn name guys, has an issue with fighters who are doing the same

[al-Xander]

They KEY to remember here is this:

"Mayweather wants to get boxing back in check and squash what he believes is a
growing trend of fighters demanding more money than a fight is worth."

That's really the bottom line why all these broadcasters are exiting boxing. Boxers are demanding more money than a fight is worth.

That's really the bottom line why all these broadcasters are exiting boxing. Boxers are demanding more money than a fight is worth.

Yet they still want huge paychecks in the midst of Showtime exiting boxing.

No wonder all the major US networks have left boxing. Even then boxers are still unfazed "demanding more money than the fight is worth." Crawford, for instance, is still obviously not satisfied with what he got from the Spence fight and took it on Dela Hoya. Poor Oscar.

[Gary Coleman]

Translation: no boxer is allowed to earn more money than me because it will impact my fragile ego.

The post is that a lot of these guys want top pay, but aren't draws to earn what they're demanding. This is precisely why the fights we want to see do not materialize. It's precisely why Bud wasted so much time with Top Rank and why it fell apart with Bob in the end.

Everyone wants to be Canelo or Floyd level, but no one wants to put in the work.

[Gary Coleman]

Says the guy that got 200 millions for fighting UFC guy. F.uck of Floyd.

4.3 million domestic PPV buys.

Floyd wasn't gifted that fight. He earned it with his skills, personality and business savvy. Add McGregor into the mix and it was pure genius from a business standpoint.

Only elaborate to a pea brain as yourself, youre obviously too ****** to realise he brings in the big money that's why he is paid the big money.

Oh so elaborate lol.

I wonder how much Crawford would want in the Spence rematch, let alone the Canelo fight, which the media has been obsessing about.

Crawford would definitely insist on full transparency in the rematch from the popcorn concessions down to the PPV numbers.

That's what Floyd said in exasperation seven years ago.

Mayweather wants to get boxing back in check and squash what he believes is a growing trend of fighters demanding more money than a fight is worth.

"I took chances but I want these fighters to stop complaining about money. These fighters keep coming to me, keep coming to Al Haymon - 'Al we want this, we want that.' I'll tell Al, I will go on record and tell Al - we're paying these fighters too much. These fighters are getting paid too much. Listen, go out there and kick ass, do what you're supposed to do and the paydays will come," Mayweather told a group of reporters after his company staged a show in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Mayweather in his younger years did come up the ranks fighting tuff and EARNED that money but about the time he changed his name to “money”.
Those young guys learned from him to protect that “0” by fighting “soft” THEIR WHOLE CAREERS and if you can do so.

That's really the bottom line why all these broadcasters are exiting boxing. Boxers are demanding more money than a fight is worth.

That's why most fights are going to the PPV route. Broadcasters can't just keep on losing money overpaying fighters for fights that are not worth much.
