Muhammad Ali had exhibitions vs Pro Wrestlers and Athletes

[Dr. Frank]

I go back with a lot of posters... you look very salty as an alt.

What are you trying to say exactly?

You are an alt troll... for sure.

You are an alt troll... for sure.

Then why are you talking to me? Fuck off then Faggot.

No doubt. Most folks loved Ali when he was cashing in on his name & making extra money so it was fine. Floyd made his name largely from being the bad guy & that's stuck so it's not fine.

Not quite.

Ali fought other athletes, in clearly marked exhibitions. Mayweather is fighting a youtuber...this would be the equivalent of Ali boxing a TV presenter in 1981 lol

I’ve shown this before.

I show it to the idiots saying Floyd is ruining boxing with his exhibition fights or that boxing is becoming a mockery because of these events like Tyson-Jones. It’s been happening since before anyone on this forum was born. So it’s amusing to see some fans think it’s something new, invented by Mayweather.

TMT security checking in...

Was Ali fighting YouTubers on PPV?

It’s the way he’s going about it that’s annoying.

Exactly this. He’s exploiting the sport.

Who do you feel he should have fought as a 44 year old (Feb 2021) retired boxer who no longer cares about adding wins/World titles to his pro record for this exhibition? An athlete? Nate Robinson is an athlete, former NBA player, in great shape, and he was knocked out by a non-boxer Youtuber.

If he chose another retired pro boxer in his 40s, for this exhibition fight, would that have made you happier or made you not complain about his choice of opponent? Or made you buy it? Me personally, I wouldn’t care who he chose, I would not purchase it unless he was coming out of retirement to face Pacquiao, rematch Canelo, fight Spence, Josh Taylor, Jose Ramirez, or GGG.

What I think about this fight is that I am not buying it. I’m not interested in watching it live. I have no opinion about this non-pro fight, I might catch it if it’s uploaded to youtube. I would not even pay the $29.99 it costs if you pre order it now (I paid for Spence vs Garcia because it was top 5 WW’s fighting eachother. I will also not pretend I care about who a retired boxer who is closer to being an official senior citizen than he is to being in his prime will fight in an exhibition that does not count towards anything.

As a Mayweather fan (or fanboy as some call me) I am more interested in who Pacquiao, an active pro boxer, is facing next, than who Mayweather is facing next in his exhibition adventures.

How about he just stays retired...

He doesn’t need the money, does he???

I'd put my money on the guy who's been training in boxing for a couple years over the guy who's playing some other sport & jumps into boxing myself.

The immediate visuals don't sell it I'd agree, but when some ohio hillbilly Youtube guy knocks a NBA guy into another dimension it tells the story that training for something matters.

It's apples n oranges mostly doe. If Youtube was around in Ali's day Ali woulda did the same thing cuz that's where the money would be. Back in his day it was in fighting other athletes. Floyd would be fighting LeBron & That KC dude if things were like in Ali's era now.
