I can agree. They all want a serverance package for any legit fight just in case they lose lol. Fighters today have no faith in theirselves to take on challenges, imagine if manny pacquaio refused to fight morales,barrera,marquez, back to back to back he woul dhave never got the oscar fight and never would have been who is his.
So fighters are taking the easy route for easy paydays cause they scared to try and reach that what if prize cause they aint got balls like that.

Not much difference...pacs promoter pulled the same type of **** once pac was elite status.
What floyd has done has very much damaged the essence of boxing. He has countless times exploited the loop holes of the sport. Politics and biased home cooking is evident in the Pac May fight. To move forward. Boxing should address this flaw of giving diva boxers too much power and leverage to decide and manipulate the sport that we love.
So much stuff we can learn from the Pac May fight alone. One united governing body should take command of this sport which we love. There is much to fix in this sport far less sophisticated than other more popular sports such as NFL, NBA, TENNIS, F1, baseball were one governing body is absolute.
Floyd's diva ways have sprouted a new generation of divas that now follows his footsteps. His legacy is cherry pick and fight the least resistance with the most money can generate and exploit the loopholes in the game to favor him such as forcing the hand of his opponents to wear pillow gloves, blood tested until he's opponent is ****** dry while he gets a TUE, choosing his own referee for consecutive fights, fights only in his hometown etc etc..
Boxers are now becoming divas who just care about money, who rather fight the Rod Salkas and not fight the best. Unifying titles, fighting the best, being the #1 in a division doesnt mean much anymore. More and more divas in the sport, thanks to Haymon and overpaying his fighters the sport turns into shi.t slowly. At first it was just a couple divas here and there but nowadays its more like 80% divas and maybe 20% real fighters. It's saddening to see your beloved hobby slowly dying and so many fools not seeing it and defending said circumstances.
Boxing can lesrn from what UFC is the doing and offering what boxing isn't.
Consistent fights against the best, single champions, less weight divisions, no useless mandatories only fights against the next best guy, incentive based contracts that reward exciting fights, less robberies and politics and undercards that are absolutely stacked, I don't remember the last great undercard boxing had with more than one good fight.
UFC as a promotional outfit is doing what all boxing fans want boxing to do.
But the Floyd mayweather's of today is an example of why boxing is dying. Fighters are now cherry picking to the path of less resistance. That's not how nba play offs would want to be played, that's not how Super Bowl are too be played. That's not how tennis is suppose to be played when it's all about elimination until the last 2 men or 2 teams are left standing are finally matched. That is the beauty of any sport.
If we are to believe Berto was his last fight. He literally closed his career cherry picking Berto to the last drop. Says it all right there.
Floyd is a fraud who got away with the biggest sports heist in history.
His airiness (Michael Jordan): 'Man I can't believe I wasted my time watching this marathon hug fest. Time to leave this crap behind. That Mayweather guy doesn't know what greatness is about. When everything is on the line you have to fuvking fight! I can't believe I got conned for paying for this shyit!' Smh
Jordan: Crap I'm stuck in this seat. This shyit is boring..
Jordan: time to leave quick! I don't want to explain myself for watching this crap!
# airless knows how legacy is done and having to do a boring ass marathon event isn't one of them
