So has Floyd finally become a circus act?

[Daigo]

First fighting a non-boxer MMA fighter in the boxing ring, now fighting a 20 year old bantamweight kickboxer that not many know about. Is this really what boxing has degenerated to now? It has to be a sick joke.

Floyd was always a circus act.

If people are willing to pay for these fights then they will happen.
Supply and demand.

Floyd is a joke of boxing since ducking fighters in his prime.

If thats how you feel, fine. People watched the Big Show fight on Wrestlemania and people in droves purchased and illegally streamed the Conor fight.

The only thing I question is why you think massive pop culture events are "sideshows" or "circus acts"?

Those by definition are usually low paying events for someone that is no longer relevant in their sport. Here Floyd is capitalizing off his success in fights like this and the ones described above while retaining his relevancy in his primary sport.

I think we can agree, could very easily fight a legitimate boxing match again if he chose to. So you saying he is a joke and a sell out seems more like you being upset he can do this or jealous that a guy you like can't.

what sport is that? gayweather jr is having to make a spectle of himself. this fight won't even be a major ppv event. its not even a boxing match. if you want relevant he should be coming back to fight spence.

[BLACK KNOT]

Yes. he's a clown who's been a circus act for awhile now Its pretty funny lol

Floyd's just doing his thing. If you're interested, watch the fight. If you're not interested, don't watch the fight. I don't really understand the outrage - I mean, he took time out to do a WWE storyline when he was legit P4P so taking on a kickboxer when he's in retirement doesn't seem so bad!

Don't get it twisted though, Floyd's career ain't about boxing anymore so people trying to say it makes boxing look bad are reaching. Floyd puts on events now & that's it.

Floyd has fought hard chasing the money most of his career. I'm not buying this fight but I can't hate on him cashing out on these fights if people are going to pay him what he wants.

IMO this looks like he needs money more then anything or he is bored in life and wants to do what he loves.

Floyd on Lomachenko's win over Rigondeaux:
“I never fought a guy that was that small. He was smaller than that. Honestly, they didn't look like they belonged in the ring together."

What are you doing now floyd?
