    One thing people seem to be missing is: It's the current top boxers' responsibility to shine. None are. As Ray said above, people like Tyson and Floyd are filling that gap.

    More name fighters should do it for the easy money. If people think boxing is a game, let them get hurt, and they'll learn.

      Is there a "Boxing" ent^ty to get offended? No one is looking out for boxing as I see it ever. This exhibition is the least of "Boxing's" concern. Real boxing has problems fooking up the integrity of the sport more than an exhibition matters at all to "Boxing".

      Asking this question is like asking if Adam Sandler playing Will Ferrell in a game of horse is an offense to Basketball.

        How so?

        If Jordan came outta retirement to play...(idk other sports so let me just say Shaq even doe ik that don't make no sense but pretend I said someone more on brand to play vs Jordan 1 on 1 lol)...Shaq in a one on one game would you consider that an embarrassment to basketball?

        As I see it they are just taking advantage of the situation they are in that others created. I'd argue the fact any person who doesn't fall off the treadmill can get a professional boxing license is a true embarrassment to the sport & an insult to what it means to be a professional athlete not just boxer.

              It's intended solely for casuals and they want to pay for it. Don't pay for it or even watch it for free. Who is being forced?

              People should stop their fake outrages.

                That exhibition matches are economically viable during a period of time where most people have already watched everything 3 times is a reproach to boxing promoters and the fighters as well. If the best were fighting the best, this bull**** wouldn't fly.

                  ¨a fool and his money are soon parted¨

                  seriously, what's the point of even watching a mismatch of colossal proportions like this one?

                  If you hate Jake Paul and you wanna see him takin a beatdown, well, good luck with that...you're not even gonna see a proper asswhooping, as Floyd's gonna carry that clown for sure, and they'll both laugh all the way to the bank

                  the whole thing is a farce.

                  yeah, i'd probably watch the circus for free, but paying for this **** as if it was some legit PPV fight?

                  wtf's wrong with people.
                  I thought we were on a global crisis?

                    It's their money and they wanna spend on the the farce.

                    Floyd is fighting Logan Paul, not Jake. Hopefully, Broner gets Jake. That card has a multi-million all over it.

                      I mixed the names, anyway they´re both bums who have no business in the ring, let alone against Floyd Mayweather

                      I gotta say, at least this match is called an exhibition, and not an actual match to pad Floyd's record, like the circus fight against 0-0-0 Mcgregor

                      that **** should have been an exhibition too, by all means.
