Is the maywether vs Logan Paul fight an insult to boxing ?

[Larry the boss]

No, and im not sure why people on here are getting so high strung about a rumor..even if it is true it is an EXHIBITION!!!!!

Hell Roy Jones Literally fought a damn fan!!!!!

Ali fought a football player

this is nothing new

[Eff Pandas]

he is ruining the integrity of the sport

Tell me more about integrity in boxing?

We have multiple "world" champions.

We have compromised at best if not outright corrupt at worst ABC groups who control the sport.

We have state & country commissions that will rarely not sanction a uncompetitive fight.

We have judges that are corrupt & lean towards the ticket seller/promoters house fighter more often than they statistical would if they were merely incompetent.

We have promoters that keep fights from happening to not ruin their investment before it's too ripe & when/if there are disputes they often go outta their way to injure the boxers career.

And there are a million other issues with the structure of the sport that boxers hold lil to no power in changing.

The sport has lil to no integrity. It's already ruined. It's a asses in seats game & Floyd has the all time best score. Hardcore fans just wish for a boxing landscape that doesn't exist anymore & honestly it wasn't close to perfect when it did have more integrity.

Boxing needs a group of like minded folks with lotsa money & actual love for boxing to change boxing for the better.

Im a big fan of floyd but yes this is a insult to boxing. Why is a man who has boxed his whole life fought and defeated many world champions and legends fighting a youtube star who has already lost to another youtube star. Floyd is a representation of boxing and he is ruining the integrity of the sport by fighting people with 5/6 months of boxing training whilst hes been involved in boxing for 30 years. He might as well fight justin bieber and mia khalifa since those are 2 well known names? Hes tarnishing the sport. If he wants a exhibition he should have a go karting race or a football match or something.

I agree with you. I don't pay for joke fights but I do watch them when they are free. I still don't like them and think they do make boxing look bad. If I can see them free I watch them out of curiosity but still wish they had not been made. I guess I can't blame these guys for making easy money in joke fights because it is just human nature to love making easy money with no risks or downside.

Should Mayweather fight real boxers instead of that Internet star ?

"that Internet star" is a pro boxer. Licensed. Had two fights - one of which was a robbery.

He can box.

No, Floyd understands the BUSINESS of boxing more than so-called 'fans' do.

What you say is true. Boxing makes itself look bad enough without outside help. I guess I should just enjoy good fights between good boxers and not worry about all the junk fights because they are going to happen anyway and often between two boxers.

EXHIBITION? It is a pay for view fight and Tyson and Jones will try their best to win and it will cost plenty to watch it live and both fighters will be welll paid, How is this an exhibition and not a good old fashion fight between two boxers in their 50s and 20 to 25 years past prime. Sure I am curious to see who wins but they will both be shells of their old selves.

yep, it was right after his exhibition with Pacquiao

I wasnt even talking about The joke of an exhibition of Jones-Tyson..I was talking about Jones literally fighting a fan in a sanctioned bout

How about prior to that. That exhibition with Marquez. He like fighting those lightweights.
