    Floyd Mayweather at 50 still has people talking and debating about him. That alone proves the interest is there. Meanwhile, most fighters can’t even stay relevant five years after retirement.

    And bringing up Netflix like it’s some kind of insult? That actually proves the point. Major platforms don’t touch things “with no interest” they go where the attention (and money) is. Floyd generates both without even trying.

    If there was truly “no interest” you wouldn’t be here arguing about it. Reality is simple..Floyd’s name still sells, still trends, and still gets reactions, while you’re stuck pretending nobody cares.
    Netflix is trying to become relevant in boxing, so they'll show any fight that they believe helps accomplish that goal. Tyson vs Paul comes to mind. Floyd and Manny are big names who WERE champions years ago. Realistically, at nearly 50 years of age, neither will ever be truly relevant in the sport again, and you know it. This is a boxing forum, so we are having a discussion about boxing and boxers. However, my deriding this geriatric fight should not be confused with an interest in seeing it. You heap praise upon Mayweather as if he's a god, yet he faces a possible breach of contract suit for declaring a fight that he agreed was official is now an exhibition.

      “Excuses”? That’s funny coming from people who’ve been rewriting history ever since Floyd Mayweather outclassed Manny Pacquiao.

      Nobody’s making excuses, we’re pointing at what actually happened. Floyd controlled the fight, dictated the pace, and made it look easy. That’s called skill, not excuses.

      Meanwhile, the only ones making excuses are the ones still trying to convince themselves it didn’t happen the way everyone saw it.

        Truly irrelevant fighters don’t get discussed, debated, or picked apart like this, they just fade away. Floyd hasn’t, and that clearly annoys you.

        And dragging in Netflix doesn’t help your point. Big platforms don’t gamble on names nobody cares about. If there was really “no interest” this conversation wouldn’t even exist. The fact that you’re this worked up proves the opposite.

        As for the contract talk, that’s just reaching for anything to nitpick. In the ring, where it actually matters, Floyd handled Manny Pacquiao with ease. That result hasn’t changed, no matter how much you try to dress it up with legal drama.

          You can mock all you want, but Floyd Mayweather built an undefeated career, mastered the business side of boxing, and controlled every aspect of the biggest fights in the sport. That doesn’t happen by accident, that’s discipline and intelligence, whether you like him or not.

          And bringing up side issues and name-calling doesn’t change what actually happened in the ring against Manny Pacquiao. When they fought, Floyd dictated the pace, neutralized Pacquiao’s strengths, and walked away clearly ahead. That’s the part you can’t argue, so you try to distract from it.

              What actually happened was Floyd held and ran for 12 rounds

                Exhibition means exhibition.

                Netflix are claiming he signed a contract for a pro fight. So, if he's signed for that, that's what he's going to have to do.

                  Floyd Mayweather “short on funds”? The same guy who made hundreds of millions and still draws attention without even needing a real fight? You’re not even trying to sound believable at this point. Floyd doesn’t need a payday, he is the payday. Always has been.

                    Excuses? Nah, what you’re hearing are facts, you just don’t like them.

                      You’re clinging to that like it’s some kind of “gotcha” but it really just shows you don’t understand how boxing business works.

                      Floyd Mayweather has been controlling his fights, terms, and image for years, he doesn’t just get pushed around by a contract like some rookie. If anything changes, it’s because he allows it, not because someone forced his hand.

                      And bringing up Netflix like they run the show is hilarious. Platforms adjust, promote, and market based on what sells and Floyd still sells, whether you like it or not.
