Hype

I think Mayweathers fights are boring.It all hype and no deliver.
He is great defensive fighter but he is boring.His knock out percentage is
not great.I like watching heavyweights because there is high chance of
a knock out.Watching some of these lightweight fighters is like watching
A chimp on a machine gun.It is pop,pop,pop.

So Mayweather is boring because he uses good defense, moves to avoid damage, and effectively places his punches. Isn't that boxing?

Joshua is just towing the company line to make sure he doesn't alienate himself from Floyd fans because he wants to capture them as his own. Clear indication he's going to be following the politically correct route through his career for the most part. I suppose it's partly the burden of being an Olympic medal winner - he has a lot of casual fans so he's got to be as mainstream and unprovocative as possible.

That was the first fight I saw of Floyd's, and he hasn't looked that dominant since. He doesn't have the same physical talent nor the fire/intensity to put a beating on Berto like he did Gatti. This is his cash-out fight, nothing more.

So what?

If that's his choice, and he has put himself in a position where he has the influence to make that call, then that's his choice.

"fans" don't like it, don't buy the PPV.

joshua is way too media savvy. i wish he'd be a little more natural in interviews. he's basically a walking advertisement for sky sports at the moment
