      Again, saying he should be a better promoter is fair. But that's clearly not why people are getting upset at these fights.

      Tank is fighting next motnh and will be active in 2019, so is it fine for him now to take on these circus fights?

It would be one thing if he was holding up a division hostage while taking on McGregor or Tenshin, but he's made it pretty clear he isn't interested in taking on any more legitimate fights. How does this bug people more than when he had the WBC/WBA 154 pound titles and defended them against NO ONE. Like he was fighting Maidana and the 154 pound titles were on the line. Getting upset at Floyd for that is perfectly reasonable.

        All he's doing now is making easy money and clearly still drumming up a lot of interest from the casuals. This was a mega event in Japan and then obviously the McGregor fight was the 2nd biggest PPV event of all time.
        It bugs people because the MMA fighters can't use their legs or craft. Floyd says he wants to fight an MMA guy and when he does they fight under boxing rules. Now you might say, "it's their fault and they made that decision". That still bothers people. The fight that I just saw with the Japanese fighter was down right pathetic.

            Haven't seen anyone talking about this fight.
            Why don't you name them?
            All I've seen is an NSB article about Berto criticizing Mayweather for the fight.
            Berto is obviously bothered by it, but he's boxer.

            Idiotic thread.

              Haven't seen anyone talking about this fight? Are you f'n kidding me? Damn near the entire board was flooded about threads of this fight, especially right after it happened.

                They pay to see him lose, but it doesn’t happen so they feel like losers themselves.

                  Because it gets way more attention than the big match ups in boxing which I'm sure is very frustrating to promoters and fighters because they're unable to "Move The Needle" like Mayweather is still able to do despite being "RETIRED"

                  It took a long time for him to build up his brand and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it at this point
