Floyd leaving is great for boxing

[-Kev-]

Agreed with OP, but I think Floyd is gonna come out of retirement more than Jay Z...

Multimillion dollar paydays are too alluring for someone so narcissistic

In the past 2 years Floyd has been talking about health more than my doctor. I think it will take an astronomical amount of money in the 9 digit mark to bring Floyd to fight one more time.

It's a fresh Era now. We don't have a super boring dominant champion running the show anymore, I hope the leftovers of these divisions will get Golovkin type boxers. Knockout artists !

Brock Lesnar single handily ****d boxing in 2008. Don't forget that. Lol you guys are gonna hear it now from the annoying MMA fans and then you're gonna ask where is daddy Floyd to save us

A UFC heavyweight champion didn't last one minute with a fat 40-something retired Ray Mercer in the octagon. Anderson Silva quit on his stool against a tomato can in his pro boxing career. There's a reason BoxingScene doesn't get "raided" by MMA forums, their rube heads explode when we start fighting back.

now it will go back to where u have to fight your way to the top to make ur money

With Floyd and Pac being gone, hopefully things will go towards this.

couple year back dana said there would never be women fighters in the ufc. Now one is his biggest cash cow. Ufc in way more trouble than boxing.

None of these young guys are hungry enough to bring any excitement back to boxing. Thurman, Khan, Garcia, and all the other WWs danced around each other for 3 years. They're the ones who ruined boxing.

I think you aren't following the current flow. The UFC gots three fighters (Rousey, McGregor & Weidman) who have been selling more PPV's than Pacquiao has been previous to the Mayweather fight in his last 2-3 fights. The UFC is having a surge right now with the next wave of top fighters gaining stream. If CM Punk proves to be half as successful as the Brock Lesner run they will be having a extremely nice next 2-4 years between the cross over fans & these next wave guys coming on. The UFC is fine.

Yep. Worst era ever. Glad it's over. Fans can now focus on more worthy fights now.

I'm not a ****** from some irrelevant country with only one good athlete, nor do I have such a simple mind that I have to view promotional outfits like WWF wrestling... I don't have to "swear my allegiance" to anyone.

then you are a ****** from a relevant country with more than one good athlete.

Not a hating thread, the fact is aside from producing over priced boring fights where he pokes his opponents to death, now fighters can not chase him for a big money fight and can fight each other. Not knocking any.fighter for trying to get that money cause I would too but now it will go back to where u have to fight your way to the top to make ur money instead of fighters standing in line for a lottery ticket to fight floyd. Floyd is.home now if we can get rid of catch weights, boxing will truly be back.

Could be a great thing! Now let the new talent step up!
