Floyd Mayweather Jr. started it all. The money, pu55iness, everything.

Saddest part is he comes back, fight one fight and he gets to be awarded millions of dollars. Of course, a clown who rarely fights will always attract curious onlookers. Then another looooong vacation starts. He comes back again when he's broke, steal money with boring fights.

Yea boxing has become more of a business for most fighters now. Or just pure entertainment kind of thing. I wonder how people would act these days if boxing was more focused on just courage, pride, honor, glory, etc..

[LupinIII]

so true boxers should be paid less in my opinion it would make them be more old schooll..

meh old school boxers had disputes over everything as well

especially money

Not that I follow Floyd as my totem and an inspirational figure in the sport, but if he ever comes back and spanks Manny with another boring win I'm just curious as to how his devout fanbase would respond.. hypothetically speaking, of course.

You clearly havnt been watching boxing very long have you? Maybe you should watch a little more before you bless everyone with your ****** opinions.

[BrooklynBomber]

yeah its clearly not like the old days when it was all about pride and honour, now its all about money and stacking the deck, very little pride left in boxing sad to say

You cant be serious, back in the old days it was just as much about money as it is now. its just boxers back then did not kno the term "lawyered up"


Professional boxing always was, is and will be about money.

Its kind of understandable that a fighter would want more money than his opponent but it makes me laugh when the fans get behind their fighter and argue the point ( like they are gonna get a percentage).

Personally, if you don't think your opponent is worth a 50/50 split of the purse then you shouldn't call them out. It takes two to make a fight after all. With todays technology its easy to work out who deserves a higher percentage of ppv's so when ordering ppv if you want your money to go to Khan then phone this number, if Bradley phone this number, if you don't give a s**t, phone this number.

Certain things in boxing should be just flat out outlawed by boxing commissions. Such as larger or smaller rings. There should be a standard size ring, none of this 20ft or 24ft nonsense. Weight of gloves should not be part of any negotiation and should just have a standard weight glove for each weight division. Example if Pac had to wear 10oz gloves for a junior middleweight fight then Margarito probably doesn't get a broken orbital (not that he didn't deserve it).

The commissions need to step up but we all know that will never happen.
