Mayweather: "If I leave boxing, the sport is dead"

[mandirigma]

What a mentally ******ed statement!

[THe TRiNiTY]

When ANYONE claims this for an athlete, or when the athlete does it himself.. basically, look at it this way.

Think of it in terms of the world. Before YOU were here, it was fine and it will be when you're dead.

Boxing was fine before Mayweather, it'll be fine after him.

It was fine when he left the first time.

Really? He sold millions of PPVs when he was active and he was one of the most talked about boxers when he was tired. Even BS wouldn't stop talking about the guy when he was retired.

I don't care if you don't like the guy, but give him credit for giving boxing some life and putting boxing back on the map. Boxing went back to the spotlight when he came back.

Manny is a beast and a popular boxer, but you don't see his haters or casual fans who don't really support the sport buy his fights. People will pay good money to see Floyd fight because they want to see him win or lose.

Heck No! The Mayweathers are a bunch criminals and the wonderful sport of boxing doesn't need their WWE-like circus!
