    Biggest farce fights

    With all this talk of mayweather it got me thinking....what are some fights, from any era, you may consider: a farce. Disrespectful to boxing. A circus. Or cash grab.
    And to be clear I respect and man that steps into the ring and fault NO ONE for chasing a pay day.

    I’ll start Canelo v khan

    Canelo vs Khan was definitely a setup, just like Pacquiao Matthysse.

    Loma vs Rigondeaux was a clear setup

    Mayweather McGregor was the most fake REAL fight I've ever seen.

    Horn - Pacquiao was a setup for sure. Google: Ways to Make a Paper Champ

    Canelo vs Fielding might be the next setup, Khan vs Brook could be the next cash grab, and the Mayfeather circus continues.

          Mayweather Vs. McGregor is obviously the biggest "Farce Fight" of all-time but made so much money for both fighters that I'M GOOD with that.

            Mayweather vs Berto. When Floyd first said he was going to fight Berto everybody thought he was trolling. "Mayweather Jokes That he's Fighting Berto, Mayfield, Next"

            WBC/WBO/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) was not giving up any clues regarding his next opponent for September 12th, likely at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. When he was pressed to give a hint, Mayweather was only mentioning two fighters - Andre Berto and Karim Mayfield. Of course Mayweather was being sarcastic, but some writers present were gullible enough to believe he was being serious.
