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

[-Kev-]

Before anyone that’s alive was born

Imagine when Ali and the WWF wrestler had the exhibition.

“What a cherry picker”

I’m sure if there was worldwide internet access in the 60s-70s you would have the same type of idiot boxing fans putting down the greats of those times, even for exhibition fights. More so for Ali due to his stance against the Vietnam war and his involvement in the civil rights movement. Also racism in the 60s-70s was 1000x worse than it is now. So those idiot racist boxing fans of those times would have let Ali have it.

Pac fans need to stop making threads about May. They only draw attention to Pac's laughable resume

No wonder this guy is ******..
This clown BodyBagz is both a FL*M* and WILDER NUTHUGGER..
That explains everything now ������

[Legends456]

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.

I don’t think it really counts as a cherry pick if it’s an exhibition fight.

Mayweather is a businessman before he is a boxer, and he knows he has enough people who want to see him fight / possibly lose / whatever, so it will never be a challenge to draw PPV’s or gate for him as long as people care about him whether positive or negative.

As for his “opponents”, they will make more money in an exhibition fight with Mayweather than they will most likely make in their normal job.

Seriously, when is Jake Paul going to make money at the insane rate he would getting beat up by Mayweather?

Or when is an obscure Japanese kickboxer going to get the payout or visibility they’d get fighting Mayweather?

Those guys would love the chance for that kind of money, and Mayweather would love the chance at more money especially since he is known to make a lot of frivolous purchases and has to find a way to continue to fund his lifestyle. Not to mention, he knows even as a middle aged man, he will always have the jump on some youtuber or some Japanese athelete half his size.

Some may call it a cherry pick, but I don’t, since it’s not a real fight. It’s a show and it’s a win-win for both parties involved, unless his opponent gets seriously hurt, but we’re talking about Mayweather and not Deontay Wilder, so that was never likely to begin with anyway. More likely they will get their pride hurt like Tenshin did, than anything else

You sound ******. Its not a hard concept to understand. You just don't want to understand it. FLOYD IS RETIRED. Anything he does as part of his world tour/sideshow has nothing to do with his boxing career. You can cry about it, you can whine about it, doesn't matter. You just sound salty. Funny thing is Pac is trying to procure a fight with Connor right now. Let's see what you say about that...ill wait.

Oh I understand all your excuses real well, but the truth is staring you in the face.

Hearns, Sugar, Hagler, Jordan. Those guys are retired.

Floyd is a semi active fighter who pops up when the con is of the no risk type.

His boxing career post Hatton was a sideshow. Outside of Alvarez.

[djtmal]

No different from what Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones, and others have done.

An exhibition match is not a new concept in Boxing.

Gtfoh. Its absolutely a big difference.

When Inoki kicked Ali's legs all night, Ali didn't go all out on the guy. It was comedy at Ali's expense really. Go look at it Inoki stayed on the floor the whole match.

The minute that 120lb Japanese kickboxer clipped Floyd on the chin he was brutally ko'd.

This is the new con for Floyd I guess. Call it an exhibition but beat up on non boxers for cash because he went from low risk, to no risk.

What happens in the exhibition is irrelevant. Which part of that don’t you understand?

An exhibition is an exhibition, whether the guys taking part want to try or not makes no difference to the spectacle.

The fact of the matter is it’s not a professional boxing match. It’s not “called” an exhibition, it is an exhibition. Far from the first and certainly far from the last.

You guys are more creative than Spielberg when it comes to the excuses.

Ok just please. Can your boy this time around at least cherrypick a guy who weighs 150 lbs and has boxed at least an hour.

When I think Ali, I think the greatest prizefighter and humanitarian that ever lived. Doing an exhibition didn't define his professional boxing career one bit because nobody in their right mind would accuse him of being a cherrypicker. Furthermore, do your research. In his exhibition with Inoki, Inoki was free to punch, kick and they said Ali's legs took a beating from all of the kicking. All truly for s**ts and giggles.

On the other hand, when I think of Floyd I think cherry picking sideshow fighter who as a pro fighter had god given talent up the ying yang, but always took the path of least resistance and ultimately digressed to using his name and fame to take tack on defenseless 120 lb soaking wet, japanese kickboxers just to make a buck. A sellout. No level is low enough. Floyd didn't concede anything to the guy everything had to be his way. Always had to over flex being the a-side. His ego was bruised when low and behold, the 120 lb. guy landed a punch on his chin, why that have to happen. Floyd forgot it was an "exhibition", got mad and brutally ko'd the poor guy. Real lame. Just because he always knew he could. What part of the game is that.

Don't ever put Ali and Floyd's name in the same sentence. Ever.

You people are absolutely miserable lol. You love to see it.

Say what? I've seen it all now.

Guys like Jones and Tyson is one thing, those are guys that have been around forever they know the risks every time they step in a ring.

But now, you mean to tell me, in the defense of Floyd turning a buck, that a star struck fan, or a non boxer, thinking he's going in there with a full fledged p4p fighter on some kid gloves exhibition s**t, is an irrelevant casualty who can wind up punch drunk because he isn't capable of defending himself if the pro guy goes 100 percent?

Damn. Defending Floyd being a no risk taking cherrypicker is one thing....

Last exhibition floyd fought a world class elite level kick boxer, i think as a pro fighter that guy knew the risk. You guys act like he fought a random accountant or something. Nobody put a gun to the kickboxer's head and made him fight floyd. He fights in full contact at the elite level for a living, he knew what the risks are and he wasnt fighting for free either.
