      A desperate attempt to remain relevant by fighting in Japan on New Years Eve? If you could get hold of your feelings you'd realize that there are far better ways to try and remain relevant. The fact you felt compelled to post shows how relevant Floyd still is.

      Thank you for allowing me to spend my money the way I see fit. That is very nice of you.

      What your anger tells me is you are upset Floyd can make money doing these things while guys you like do not. As far as the "showing integrity to the sport"-how exactly is it denigrating the sport if this isn't a straight boxing match?

      How about you just tell us the real reason you are mad because with all due respect, as someone that has watched the sport and been a fan for well over 30 years, you will be hard pressed to show how making money denigrates the sport of prizefighting.
      You must be really confused, where exactly in my posts have I showed any glimpses of anger? Other than me laughing about this whole thing I have no idea where you get this assumption of showing any sort of spite.

      Nah, I think you're letting off a little bit more steam my dude. I can tell that you are really that offended by this topic given how you like to keep bringing up "Floyd's making money doing this while guys you like can't"? Is that really supposed to mean anything to me? I'll be saying the same thing to every known big name fighters if guys like GGG, Canelo, Pac were doing the same thing.

          That is how you come off given you created a thread about it and what you posted. You then comment on what you'd do if people purchased it. Generally, when people comment about what other people do with the money they earn, it shows anger or displeasure, especially for someone that posts so infrequently.

          I don't know what it means to you but that is how you come off in this thread.

          I get it-you think this is a farce and will laugh at anyone that buys it. That gets said alot before every Floyd fight. Ok, cool. Have a Happy New Years Eve.

              When Floyd needed to prove something he laced them gloves and beat many champions. He retired from boxing and now he has found a new career.

                beat them while they were already war torn and past their prime. avoided them in their prime. avoided other prime threats. floyd is a disgrace. he's taking his cherrypicking to the ultimate extremes. hahahahahahahaha what a joke.

                i think the rumors are true. floyd is on the brink of total complete bankruptcy. he is taking whatever opportunity he can no matter how disgraceful in order to make money.

                  Fans who "HATE HIM" cares about his legacy more than he does, he doesn't care, even said "Legacy Don't Pay The Bills" in the past. He Doesn't care so why should I or anybody else. Part of his Legacy is the money he is able to generate

                    This whole thing really doesn't mean anything to me. I saw that there was a fight taking place between a big name boxer like Floyd against a relatively unknown kickboxer and felt the need to mock it for sh#ts and giggles and also given how ridiculous it is. And yet somehow I feel like I might have struck a nerve, given how your responses came across.

                    I apologize if I offended you.

                      Actually, there are plenty of actual boxing matches on all the available platforms that this fight, however it pans out, shouldn't even be a concern. It's like Floyd/Conor-more a pop culture event than a boxing match.

                      If you want to see it, buy it. If not, don't.

                      Oh, ok.

                      Here is your initial post and my initial response. There is no way you thought a nerve was struck.
