Does Mayweather VS Paul help or hurt boxing?

[Eff Pandas]

I gotcha bro. Thoughts on Tyson vs Jones Jr circus?

I'm obviously more anti-that fight since I think both are in their 50s & RJJ has had a few nasty KOs. But fook it, they wanna fight + casual fans will watch & pay so it'll be one of the biggest fights of the year.

No clue what it'll look like as a fight or who wins. Kinda feel like it'll be a lot more chill & easy going then it's being hyped as currently so if any official decision is rendered it's likely to be a draw or close decision among two guys not trying to kill each other. Tyson ain't THAT guy anymore despite him being able to get into character verbally still & even looking the part in short training clips.

How do you view that one?

[GhostofDempsey]

Neither. If it's an actual sanctioned fight that's not a good thing for boxing, but I don't think it is going to impact boxing one way or the other.

It's a joke of a fight and doesn't help boxing but will make money from the very casual fans who love this want to be boxer Paul. It really doesn't hurt boxing because boxing is used to these phony fights that Mayweather loves because he makes big money with no risks.

[youbeight]

i dont think so. boxers do expo type fights all the time. if he was out here holding up titles and defending them, then id have an issue.

Some believe that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Others believe there is.

What’s your take?

- -Further defines TUE 51-0, not boxing.

[KING MEAT]

I’d rather have the perceived “greatest fighter of this generation” not fight against some random with a losing record. In what world does that help boxing? I’d be surprised if even 2,000 Paul fans are still subscribed to DAZN. They went for one month or stole it. This sort of garbage isn’t keeping anyone around.

its an exhibition. you fn pansy.

Boxing scene top headlines says zero about this fight and until they d I don't believe there will be any Paul vs Mayweather fight. I think Mayweather would just toy with Paul and hardly ever get hit. Still Paul fights at 200 and Mayweather fights at 147. How could Paul be proud of beating a 42 year old 53 pounds lighter than himself if he did win? Paul is just in it for the money if this fight as real. I can't blame him for that.Damn near everybody loves making easy money.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus closed down during the promotional tour of the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight.

Apparently Floyd stole all their customers away with his goofy events and they went bankrupt.

History is full of goofy fights. It's just part of boxing.
