[ThumperMcDougal]

Had you added option #3 - Canelo and Povetkins "clever" ducks

I would have voted #4

A guy with no professional boxing experience as a sacrificial lamb to pass marciano's 49-0 against the best of his generation in this sport

vs

An atg beating on amateurs(kids) for a potential gold medal he doesn't need just for the hell of it.

Both of these encounters are a farce and a slap in the face of boxing.


Canelo and Povetkin isn't the first nor will it be the last time a fight or two doesn't get made.

Very true.

I'm voting Manny vs. youngsters

I definitely don't want to see BOXING vs. mma because they are apples and oranges. Sure, a part of me wants Floyd to beat the hell out of Dana White's big mouth superstar, because they can't keep Floyd out of their mouths. Ronda Rousey was the worst. But Floyd kills McGregor in BOXING, and McGregor kills Floyd with mma rules.

To answer your question though, I'd watch Mayweather fight an mma fighter before watching an atg fight kids. I hate both ideas, but the Pacquiao in the Olympics is worse imo.

[ThumperMcDougal]

The more I've been thinking about it though, a Mayweather/McGregor PPV could be big for BOXING. I posted in another thread about it a few days ago.

Most young mma fans (kids) don't really know boxing superstars I'm assuming. They LOVE Conor McGregor. If half of those kids parents buy the PPV and see a BOXER knock their hero out... it may lead to intrigue. Could help BOXING gain some of those mma fans possibly.

It's ok to send NBA All Stars to the Olympics but not boxing?

A gold for your country >>>> a moneygrab mismatch for your coming out of retirement party

Yes.

Those other countries aren't sending amateur players. They're sending their countries best. Plus the Euro leagues are all professionals and many of them played division 1 college ball and make the transition into the nba after years of hard work in Europe, China, Russia etc etc.

Olympic boxers are amateurs, with no other level yet known or experienced. You're sending an ATG, plus a guy that would still be a top 5-10 p4p fighter if he were still active against guys who most likely will never come close to his already claimed accolades. It's pathetic, bruh

[Larry the boss]

I have to go with an ATG beating on kids man, that should be illegal
