If Floyd had chosen Thurman, Spence, Lara, Charlo, etc, of course he'd receive universal acclaim for taking on a challenge for his 50-0. Instead, we get the same formula that describes Floyd's last several events: no-hope opponent bore-fests (except May-Pac which was simply a dud). Floyd is astute enough to realize that had he chosen another Berto, boxing fans would have rejected the PPV. So he's going to **** the wallets of delusional MMA fans this one time and then go sip a cold one under a palm tree in the Ba*****.
I just hope he KOs McGregor so the paying fans get something in return. Because the reverse is just not happening.
Like I put in my last posts, we all know those fights would be more competitive, but the general public doesn't want to see any of them. We do, but the vast majority of casual fans/people outside boxing want to see McGregor. Nobody fights for acclaim, especially when you've already been carrying the sport for over 10 years. Plus Floyd got criticized when he was taking on all comers. If he fought Thurman they'd be like "Why not fight Horn, Why not fight Spence" etc. When he was fighting the top guys fight after fight he was getting criticized then, so it makes no difference. Fight Mosley, no credit, shut out Marquez, no credit.
We can be mad or whatever but put yourself in that position. Would you fight an MMA fighter for $150 million or fight a boxing guy who doesn't draw half the interest but is considered a more dangerous fight, for half the money? It's an easy decision on all counts. Let's not act like he's the first guy to do this either. Oscar De La Hoya did the same thing. Don't fight Vernon Forrest, fight Mosley again, don't fight Winky Wright, fight Felix Sturm. Same with Hopkins and other guys.
Floyd's fought like 25 world champs, he doesn't owe boxing anything.
let's face it most fighters are bitter and jealous because they're making 500k or less per fight while here's a guy making $100-150 million for what's gonna be an easy nights work. They hate seeing it, but they'd do it if they could.
exactly! This fat lazy bum omar has been sitting on his couch for 2 years! Lmfao! This guys whole career is a slap in the face to boxing
they would but if it was as bad has this is then the fans would be saying the same thing!........only a fool would want to see this and it seems there's a lot around.
um nope! These bitter mexicans would be shaking their asses if canelo was fighting conor! These mexicans hero oscar was begging conor for the fight! Saying the best fight to make is canelo vs conor! If that fight was made all these bitter mexican fan boys on here would be called it great for boxing! Just like these hypocritical mexicans called canelo vs chavez the ppv scam great for boxing! These same bums are calling cotto vs that punching bag cumagai great for boxign lmfao! These people dont give a damn about boxing! If they did they would not support 3 ppv's in a row! Like canelo vs khan, canelo vs smith and canelo vs chavez all mexican scams! Where were all these mexican boxing lovers when those scams were happening? Crickets
if floyd wasn't 40 coming off of a 2 year layoff - and fighting the best striker in mma right now in his prime... I'd agree...
Is conor going to do any worse than canelo, de la hoya, or pacquiao, etc.?
Conor is never in a boring fight... Conor will make it entertaining even in a lop-sided defeat.
These boxers need to fight better opponents and stop hating on floyd...
i usually dont agree with you but those are great point you make! Mayweather coming off a 2 yr lay off in his 40s after beating canelo and manny! Canelo just fought chavez in his prime and manny fought horn at 38! So gotta put everything in perspective! Im guessing canelo will land in the 70 punch rande like marquez! He is alot bigger and longer than marquez and canelo though and a southpaw so it wont be a cake walk!
i don't get why people take this so seriously. Can't someone just wanna see an event, which is what this fight is if nothing else, without them being a ****** lol. I mean can't someone go watch a movie, play or concert just to want to see whats going on with something & perhaps be entertained or not entertained? I don't see how this is any different then that at the end of the day.
you know why man! Anytime mayweather has a big event most the boxing media like steve kim and dougie fa.g always bash it! They are golden girl employees so they have taken a oath to bash everything mayweather! If oscar and golden piss were promoting this event on hbo lampley, kim, rafael and kellerman would all say this is great for boxing! But showtime and mayweather are the ones making truck loads so they cant stand that.... They keep comparing this to canelo vs ggg even though that fight is almost 4 weeks later! All these same bums never gave credit to mayweather for beating cotto, mosley, marquez, canelo and manny! these are all the same usual suspects
klitschko is 41 and was coming off an 18 mth layoff vs top heavyweight. Fmw still trains with his active fighters in his gym and is fighting basically a advanced gym rat. Fight is a big joke. Mcgregor can't punch with 10 oz gloves over 6-8 rounds, let alone 12 rounds. Shane mosley jr knocks mcgregor out in 3 rounds.
mayweather has beaten 22 champion you ******! Mayweather also just recently moved up at 37 yrs of age and dominated canelo like a little boy! Mayweather also dominated manny the so called fighter of the decade! So how many chanpions has grandpa wlad beaten in his career? Ill wait
