Why Do All These Mayweather Circus Fights Bother so Many Boxing Fans?

Embarrassing the sport in what way? This was a damn exhibition in Japan. Who exactly is being embarrassed by this and why are they being embarrassed by this?

cause hes the fighter who is the most famous boxer in recent years and youve got him fighting athletes who dont even compete in boxing. hes a laughing stock now if you read mainstream comments and unfortunately because hes synonymous with boxing as a whole, his antics reflect badly on boxing which has enough bad press as it is. his comedy fights just make the sport look like even more of a joke.

I think for a lot of fans, it hurts to see Mayweather fighting non-boxers, when many would have been hoping for Mayweather to have one last top opponent to pass the torch to.

It doesn't help boxing to have the profile of McGregor/UFC or Tenshin/Rizin raised, when the likes of Spence, Crawford and Thurman are relatively anonymous.

Imagine how worse off the sport would be if De La Hoya hadn't fought Mayweather and Pacquiao.

The passing of the torch fight was against, Canelo. Canelo had a chance to capitalized on it, but he fell short, but he still went on to became a big star in boxing, but still doesn’t have the aura of invincibility that he could’ve had if he had beaten Floyd back then.

There’s no passing of the torch now. Not one single NBA player is bragging about outplaying Washington Wizards, Michael Jordan. They’d get ridiculed for doing it and rightfully so. Beating a 41 year Floyd at this point would give his doubters/haters something to cheer about, but it wouldn’t put a dent on his legacy the same way his fights against Berto, Connor, etc don’t do **** for his legacy.

He's actually well received by the casuals and most mainstream media. People came away happy with the McGregor fight. Casuals loved it and you had sports shows the next morning calling Floyd the greatest ever for beating Conor f'n McGregor.

Ironically, the most vocal people against him here are……boxing fans. He's not ruining the sport any more than Ali during his exhibitions or any other fighter. Stop taking the events so serious and you yourself will take these fights for what they are.

Ffs you got actual MMA greats tweeting this:
