what mayweather is doing right now is cherry picking...

[Madison Boxing]

Because whatever Mayweather does from here on out will be an exhibition.

Do you understand what an exhibition is?

i dont have a dictionary to hand but exhibitions are usually games (in this case fights) where two people are there to show there skills, usually in a more friendly less competitive way. its not a former world champ throwing his best shots at people who arent even boxers for money.

Who cares about exhibitions anyway? I never watch them, it’s a cheap imitation of the real thing.

Mayweather can do WTF he wants at this point. Same for Pacquiao IMO, if he wants to go off and fight McGregor then he can do that as well because he earned that right and really doesn't have anything left to prove. He doesn't HAVE TO fight Spence or Crawford, it is Optional For Him!

Fraud's been cherry picking since the DelaHoya fight. Name me one, just ONE p4p in their prime dangerous opponent he faced this decade?

Fighter of the decade is a joke.

An exhibition is an exhibition, what your “definition” is irrelevant.

Exhibitions have been part of a Boxing since it’s birth. This isn’t something new and it will be far from the last time it happens.

Mayweather is retired as a pro and has been for 3 years.

An exhibition is what it is, a show. It’s not a fight, it doesn’t go toward his pro record.

Which part of this don’t you understand?

Floyd entire career was a cherry pick.

[CharlieStewart]

Floyd is no longer a pro boxer, this thread should be about how he protects his fighters namely tank, not his exhibition bouts.

[Larry the boss]

How can an exhibition be a cherry pick?? how can you even flip that?

[whollisboxing]

can someone explain to me how a fighter can be 'retired' yet still fighting and calling out new opponents at the same time? and get the **** out of here with the exhibition ****, a fight is a fight unless they decide to go at 50 percent.
cherry picking means taking on easy opponents and avoiding those that could give you problems, thats exactly what mayweather is doing by fighting mcgregor, nagasaki and calling out logan paul.
youve got pacquiao being linked with fighting crawford whilst mayweather is linked with fighting logan paul, its ridiculous and speaks volumes about the difference between the two fighters.

Floyd could probably decide to go at 50 percent and still beat Logan Paul but I get your point. Ultimately, he's not active anymore and anything he does at this point is to make money. It's up to the consumer whether or not they wanna buy what he's selling.

actually floyd is changing the boxing's concept into more scripted like WWE. luring someone who hasn't even have the boxing experience to fight at his own field. that's more than cherry picking and it destroys boxing's credibility. Ang being that said, younger fighters are following his footsteps and that's really scks.

This post right here goes to show how new to boxing someone is...and really even if you’re new, that is fine, just do some research. For example, look in the past to see how many times this has already happened before.

Ali has fought pro wrestlers, NFL players. DLH fought Shaq. Marciano har exhibition fights.

It’s been around since before you were born.

Being a new young fan is okay, nothing wrong with it, but first do some research about the past before accusing someone in the present as doing something for the first time.
