    Its a circus event nothing to do with real boxing, after the McTap circus then the little Asian guy now we have Tyson Jones in the pensioner tangle, Oscar comeback talk, Manny following Floyd and signing to fight a kickboxer only cancelled because of Covid, and now this sideshow.

    I new Ali was starting something big with his fight with a Wrestler and football player, he was just ahead of his time, looks like we are heading into the era of WWE Boxing the art of pretending to fight.

        Its an exhibition match and not an official fight so how could it be an insult to boxing or MMA? Boxing and MMA are both programs in the entertainment industry and this exhibition will also be entertainment.

        Dont like it or support it? Dont watch it or buy it. The more you talk about Floyd, in support or against, the more he can do fights like these.

        Also, 48-0 really ruined some lives and fucked some people's minds up
        Mayweather brings out the two worst kind of fans those who hate and try to step on his balls and those who worship him and try to slurp his balls.

          So Floyds career post Hatton, was nothing but slow, flat footed, short armed guys that he hand picked to make a heap of money with. What's so great about that

              The point is, we not talking about Manny. We talking about TBE.
              The best at overmarinating fights until they become sparring sessions. Aka exhibitions. Aka. The guy was a threat until he got raked thru the coals getting sparked out by other fighters. Then Floyd fights them and wants full credit.

                Only on boxing scene could someone think this run of consecutive fights is worthy of criticism:
                Juan Manuel Marquez (reigning lineal, unified, Ring lightweight champion)
                Shane Mosley (reigning lineal welterweight champion)
                Victor Ortiz (reigning WBC welterweight champion)
                Miguel Cotto (reigning WBA super welterweight champion)
                Robert Guerrero (reigning WBC interim welterweight champion)
                Canelo Alvarez (reigning WBA, WBC, Ring super welterweight champion)
                Marcos Maidana (reigning WBA welterweight champion)
                Marcos Maidana rematch
                Manny Pacquiao (reigning WBO welterweight champion)
                Andre Berto (reigning WBA interim welterweight champion)

                  I didn't see Floyd, jumping at the bit to fight Keith Thurman, when Thurman was calling him out every chance he got. Oops he was too busy fighting that exhibition with that killer Andre Berto l. Him and Manny definitely don't have that guy Keith Thurman in common

                    It would be impressive, had he beat in prime versions of Manny, Canelo, Mosley and Cotto. But not. The rest are paper champs that nobody would mistake for an all time great
