Why are people knocking floy/connor so hard?

[Elroy The Great]

my only beef with this is its for #50

[DeadLikeMe]

Outside of Canelo nobody is a draw anymore. It is not a good thing that Floyd coming back for an exhibition can outsell the rest of the sport combined.

I'm a mayweather fan but this fight is a joke. And I'm pretty sure they are going to charge 100 dollars for the ppv to cover the large guarantees of mayweather and mcgregor.

If this was going to be on cbs or some free channel I would be all for it.

But also this fight could potentially kill boxing because let's be honest floyds KO days are far behind him even fighting mcgregor I give him a 50/50 chance. If Floyd just gives him a boxing lesson for 12 rounds in front of a 75 percent casual/ mma crowd boxing will be boo'd into extinction. The general public will not except a 12 round embarrassment of mcgregor they want blood.

That would make boxing appear great. The nations greatest boxers and HOF'er fkloyd, beating mma;s great..how would that be bad for boxing? WIth he word to see

I may have missed it if it has happened but soon Floyd's fans will be saying Floyd is fighting Connor who is an undefeated boxer!

Because this is a garbage cash grab fight.

Fraud wants that #50, there's Thurman or the winner of this weekend's fight. Instead he's choosing someone that's 0-0. No boxing experience amateur and pro, and not hiding the fact that this is only for money.

This is akin to a world champion soccer team playing an American football team and having the football players play soccer. And duping the world that this will be a high scoring game with lots of excitement, all you have to do is shell out $70-$100.

i dont mind him retiring on berto. look at who pac is ''fighting'' next. and lets suppose HE retires.

berto > horn all damn day.

may is a businessman/marketing ''genius''. especially for a guy who caint reed.

There is no way this will be bad for boxing, or MMA. Floyd will win a UD, and we will have a GREAT under card. It will make boxing look good by nights end.


WHat is the problem? It's not like there is an alternative fight that this is stealing. Canelo- GGG already have their date.

What is the big problem?

The problem is its Floyd, if it were Manny not much negative crap would be said about the fight just the mild uproar like he gets for Horn. The list of guys wanting to fight Connor is a line, and Manny was one of them in that line, so was Oscar sprucing about Canelo, the real deal with those guys is jealousy.

Its because its Floyd, everybody else is always forgiven for everything, even when they do exactly the same sht it is only Floyd is always evil lol .

Why an embarrassment though? MMA could say the same if Floyd decided to take on an MMA fighter in an octagon..I can't see how this is an embarrassment, it;s a fight

This is the 2 best fighters of our generation..

2 completely different sports so them being 2 of the best fighters mean nothing.

An MMA fighter can be nothing in the boxing ring and a boxer can be nothing in the octagon.

People look at the name and seem to forget the rest of the facts.

Why would i get mad at any man taking 100 million dollars for easy work....you have to be an idiot not to do what floyd is doing and there isn't a fighter alive who wouldn't do the same. That said, the fight it's self is a joke and i won't pay for it.
