Mayweather Did More Damage to Boxing Than the UFC Ever Did

[pasawayako]

UFC may have drawn away more fight fans from boxing, but the rot was already set with Mayweather's drawn out pansy, boring purist style of boxing. I'd say around 2010 after the Mayweather Pacquaio fight is when casuals were like, "**** this, I have better things to do" and moved to UFC.

This is the guy who once walked to the ring with Justin Beiber. He was so thirsty for fame back then, he just went with the latest craze, whether he was into his music or not. This explains why he's fighting Logan Paul, a famous YouTuber with millions of subscribers and views.

He did the numbers. Fight someone insanely popular to stay current and hope their popularity propels you back into the limelight. What a desperate, repugnant cliche he's become.

Anyway, not content with making boxing boring and sterile, and being an egomaniac, he makes a mockery of the sport that gave him so much by fighting UFC fighters and the latest insult is probably the worst of all.

It's embarrassing that this site actually has his avatar on their forum heading. Anyone who is a fan of Mayweather at this point is a mental deficient.

All you have said are true and as for his fans there are some who are mental deficient but others called floyd for what he is.

Floyd vs Pac definatley did a lot of damage. It was the first time in ages a lot of my friends were interested in a boxing fight, I didn't even have to buy the PPV as i got invited to a watch party with a bunch of casuals, and all of them after was of the opinion boxing ******.

Thanks to floyd for making the fight look like a marathon and a hugfest.

Stopped reading after that BIG LIE.


Casuals watching a defensive genius pot shot and hold and run all night?!?!


LMFAO

THE BIG DUMB

Floyd ran casuals AWAY from the sport! It was the complete opposite!

he's one of the mentally ill floyd fan that the ts was pointing out.

Boxing damages itself with or without Floyd. And it's been 5 years and it's the same script with marinating, garbage stay busy fights and promoters not truly working together.

Thanks to floyd for being a role model of marinating and protecting the 0 by fighting garbage fight after a garbage fight.

No one hates floyd but it's just a sad truth even teofimo lopez who looked up and wanted to be like floyd couldn't hide the feeling that floyd is destroying the boxing.

[pasawayako]

Boxing is the only thing that kills itself with this constant over-marination of fights.

Thanks to floyd for being the role model of marinating fights.

This is a sad week for the floyd fans.

My sympathy with u, don't worry about floyd he always say that he doesn't care about his fans and beside floyd still have plenty of money and i think he will be ok.

Just like djtmal, what you think is supposed to be a diss shows exactly why Floyd was great for the sport.

He was a fighter that couldn't really draw despite his high KO ratio and quality wins. Yes, he was the B side to Gatti. Floyd went to his hometown and beat the ever living sh-t out of Gatti (RIP). Casual fans saw this and gravitated toward Floyd. Guys like you hated on it because he beat a guy you loved.

Then, when ODH finally manned up and gave him the fight, Floyd took advantage of the opportunity. He "sold the fight", linked with 50 Cent, drove 24/7 to Emmy winning status, creating a new industry standard that has helped fighters and networks market PPV fights.

Then he went out and won clearly. It wasn't a dominant KO but it was a clear win and casual fans saw that. That is why they continued to buy his fights.

Mr. Honda is one of the most successful businessman in Japan. He saw an opportunity to make money and increase the profile of his sports company so he linked with Floyd for the exhibition. It worked . Everyone got paid handsomely. How does that hurt the sport?

- -TBE TUE 51-0 Jr own daddy say he be whooped by Oscar.

U like Sissyboys OK by me, but I seen U boy not only be whooped, but go squalin' fer his daddy in the middle of a fight.

Jus sayin' the facts...

This analysis isn't rooted in any fact. Anyone that co signs or agrees with this is as ****** as the TS.

Floyd didn't hurt the sport in any way. He drew casual fans to the sport. He made everyone involved that worked with him financially successful.

The problem with the sport is casual fans like greatness-Ali, SRL, Floyd- they don't like mediocrity shoved down their throats and it being called great when it isn't. Casual fans know the difference. The problem is idiots like the TS and those in this thread that claim to be huge fans of the sport that agree with him. You are all blinded by hate.

Canelo, Manny, Loma, AJ, Fury, Spence, Crawford and whomever else you deem the top p4p best in the sport simply are not as good as Floyd in the eyes of the casual fan. That is why the casual fans don't tune in as much. None of them have the ability to make a fight seem like a big event to mainstream fans like Floyd did.

Instead of crying like b-tches, tell your favorite guys to get better in the ring and do more outside of it. Elevate the sport the way Floyd did.

In slow motion PAC doesn’t get kTFO

Ployd(Filipino) smashed Diego C
Made Hatton look like a hype job.

Took Canelo to school(Canelo said he learned a lot from Floyd)

JMM who according to casual Filipinos (threw himself on Jmm’s fist and got kTFO o purpose)

I miss the Philippines
Third world country for sure.

If I was born there, I’d curse GOD.

Balik Bayan boxes of basic stuff.
