Comments Thread For: Dana White Shakes Head at Announcement of Mayweather-Paul

[sargo]

No show if no audience. If people are willing to pay to watch them, good for them. May increase interest in boxing like Tyson said.

Wish boxing had someone like Dana White. We’d have all these super fights made and wouldn’t have to wait 5 or 10 years for them.

Mayweather has become a cirucs, while Pac is still beating prime Welterweights.

[ShoulderRoll]

Well he fought the best guy at 130 and the best at 135 anyway. The Floyd of later years wouldn’t have fought either...not in their primes anyway.

He fought the lineal champ at 147. And the best 154 pounder in Oscar de la Hoya.

Also beat Canelo. A win which keeps looking better and better as time goes by.

People just want to hate on Floyd for any reason they can find.

The richer Floyd becomes, the more he falls on my list of favorite fighters of all time. As long as he continues to duck Pacquiao, I can care less which bum he fights.

Meanwhile Dana is laying off the equivalent of 2 weight divisions or more.....

Loooool.

Solid insults by Dana, but in fairness to the YouTube guy it shoulda been a draw or he coulda won.

The ref taking 2points from him, which cost him the fight, was outta line. I've seen a ton of mfers hit a guy when he was down & the average outcome is he gets a warning at worst. Worst case they take a point. I believe this is the only time I've ever seen a guy take 2pts for this type of foul. Tyson had to bite Holyfield twice to get a 2pt penalty ffs.

Roy Jones got a DQ for doing that if I remember correctly.

there isnt a problem. good for him for conning people. he "retired" when he was in his absolute prime cause the competition was too hot. now he is doing these farcical fights but please tell me how he wasnt a cherry picker which was my claim. talking about money and undefeated records disproves he wasnt a cherry picker? hmmm

Floyd retired at his prime? Prime is close to 40 or in your early 40's?

[Silver Spear]

he literally said while he was in his prime im not fighting to prove who the best is and yet you are on here trying to dispute that? like i said floyd protection force. the guy was a good fighter but a better con man can we agree to that? i dont hate him. i want to be a conman like him someday. i have the intelligence(i think) but not sure i have the soulless interior that it takes. how can i get rid of that feeling that makes me feel bad taking advantage of people?

That is the intelligence holding you back from being a douche. A good person who is also intelligent will rarely take advantage of another person.

[Silver Spear]

well you ignored the part where ali fought everyone and floyd fake retired and said i dont fight to prove who is best but ill humor you.

alis last fights were not against a wrestler and a football player. he fought both guys when he was still an active boxer. he fought the football player when he was still heavyweight champ. why? i dont know why but prob to boost his brand and promote his boxing fights. he fought the wrestler before his last title shot. this wasnt just a grift to take peoples money and not give them anything substantive. is floyd figthing paul to promote a spence fight? if so then that would be equivalent to what ali did. so no not exactly the same. in fact i would say extremely different. alis silly fights were all second order to his boxing fights. floyds silly fights lead to nothing.

What exactly is your gripe against Floyd? I will be the first to say that I do not like the guy but he is a tremendous boxer. A person turns pro for one reason only. To earn a living. It is their profession and how they put food on their table. I cannot knock Floyd for making the money he did. Look at his PPV numbers and he sky rockets over anyone else in any combat sport. He got more people to watch boxing than ever before and he still does that. He gets rich of doing what he does. If you call it a con then so be it. I call it business.
