    There isn't an official winner in backyard fights nor in sparring sessions either. People still watch and fight.

    LMAO at all of you pathetic haters who run with this "durr durr, this is an exhibition, why are people hyped, they aren't going to hurt each other" fairy narrative.



    Two fighters, legends are throwing down, and we are watching. PERIOD. Real fighters don't need to be promised a belt to throw hands, just like real ballers don't need a ref around to shoot some hoop and compete.

    I swear, it's like people forgot that Floyd Mayweather had an exhibition WITH JUDGES, WITH SCORING, WITH A WIN.

    KSI/Logan Paul 1 was an EXHIBITION. It ended in a DRAW. It had JUDGES and SCORING.

    Exhibitions should still have an OUTCOME of some kind - even if it's a fabricated draw (both guys light touching).

      Those are terrible examples because they are cross over freak show circus events.

      Two actual boxers in an exhibition is entirely different.

      If Curry and Kyrie played a 1v1 exhibition, it would be played at a completely different level of competitiveness and energy than if Curry played a 1v1 game against Pacquiao, for example. I REALLY hope I don't need to explain why...

        An exhibition is an exhibition, bro. You're making up rules.

        "At The End Of The Day", if they could do it on one exhibition they could have done it here.


        They just didn't want the betting smoke should Jones pull a Buster Douglas. None of that again.

          Maybe something like Chavez Sr vs Jorge Arce which was a very fun Exhibition to watch actually...


          The Ending was funny when they pushed the ref away and kept throwing punches

          But yeah I would be OK with something like this

            Wrong. I'm not making up rules at all, it's you who fails to realize that two real competitors who are experts in the same field will compete in any atmosphere, there don't have to be stakes involved. It's clear the entire post above went so far above your head it's not worth my time explaining something like this to a person who sees life on a drastically different level. You can't comprehend people who think that way because it isn't you and that tells us all we need to know.

              Dude - RIGHT above your rant is a fight with Chavez/Arce - TWO FIGHTERS - and there's a damn scorecard.

              Get off your high horse, bro. This is an exception to the rule. You always had scoring even if it was BS.

                What do you need a scorecard for if the fight doesn't go on record? Are you that simple?

                What value does it bring? Score the fight yourself, for yourself. I'm done with this conversation, go away with your ******ity and childish takes.

                  We get it. You don't care. YOU don't care.

                  But YOU are not us. Some of us like the full fight experience.

                  I know that's kinda weird to you - you know, that boxing fans want to feel like it's a legit boxing match - but it is what it is.

                  All you have to say is "I LoadedWraps don't personally like that" and move on.

                  Instead, you throw personal attacks on people saying it's not a thing, a person posts a fight where it's specifically a thing by YOUR OWN criteria, and you deflect "why do you care?"

                  You got proven wrong, bro. Just accept that, say YOU don't like or don't care, and let it be.

                    If it's an exhibition, fine but if you are offering this exhibition as a PPV that is supposed to generate $50 million, there better be a winner. There better be two fighters giving 100% and there should be betting.

                    I think it has to be either/or but it can't be both.

                      Who cares if there is a decision?
                      2 of the greatest fighters ever are sparring for charity and people on this site complain like little girls.
                      If you snowflakes don't want to watch don't, real fans will still watch and aren't worried about wasting money, we all wasted money watching the joke of Floyd vs Manny, this fight will probably have more action than that boring non action fight.
