Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I'll Tell Haymon - Fighters Getting Too Much Money!

[MEXfistology]

Lol

Oh the irony..

Never seizes to end when Floyd's around

That 200million dollars he got for running and hugging a marathon event was too much money for a track meet lmao

"running" "hugging" "marathon event" go and learn real boxing and how it is scored

We've been saying this since Haymon came on the scene, and Fl0mos argued the point incessantly. Now that Floyd admitted it's true, expect them all to admit it too. They follow Floyd, Haymon, and PBC fighters like sheep, instead of thinking for themselves. This was obvious for years but they're only going to realize it now that Floyd said it. Sad.

Floyd complaining about fighters getting overpaid for fighting bums is like Hitler complaining that too many jews are dying in WWII

Absolutely!

[bojangles1987]

All these fighters want to be Money Mayweather and forget that he spent almost ten years making his bones as Pretty Boy Floyd before that happened. Even as Money, Mayweather fought good competition. He didn't sit on one win for years the way so any of these *******s do these days. He kept justifying the demand that made him his paydays by beating good fighters in big events.

Mayweather very much deserves some blame for the way fighters act these days, but I wish more fighters emulated him in the ring instead of out of the ring.

Don't make boxing complicated buddy. It's not. It's to hit and not get hit.

Too much holding over an injured asian. it only shows his lack of confidence. And skill to oneself.

You find one round Floyd wasn't running and hugging that much makes it concrete lmao.. Pac still tagged him good for 12 rounds and landed the clear and effective punches.

It's not just about the clinching. Is the nature of the clinching that is very foul and not allowed in boxing. (Queens-berry rules) clinching is foul in boxing, but what is even worse is the the nature of a clinching were in..

I respect a guy with a great defense and excellent footwork, but all too often, fans try to say a guy who runs and holds is great at both, when he just isn't. He's holding because he can't fight on the inside. He'd running and leaping away from shots because he has no fundamentals as far as footwork and feinting to put the opponent where he wants them. A lack of knowledge and skill overall, which is annoying to say the least. Derrick Gainer is a prime example of this. Just watch his fight with Marquez. Gainer showed speed but not really any skills or heart for that matter.

A boxer is holding coz his skill is limited. Holding is a desperate act of survival. It's the easiest way to get away from a tight fix. Refs that allow this are either paid off or just plain stupid not to notice this isn't allowed in boxing.

A boxer should try to get away from a pickle by boxing, bobbing, weaving, slip, sliding, rolling with the punches, feinting, countering, while holding is a form of desperation and is very amateur given they are suppose to be Pros. Boxers are expected to fight/punch and block punches with their ability to evade punches through defense and not by lame holding.

Well if you ask most of us who has a rational mind, this hugging contest that Floyd showcased the whole night killed the super fight. I can even call this day light robbery for playing it too safe and turning the match into a zumo match. To some nutt huggers this hugging by Floyd is an atg skill lol It is a High level stuff, that they fool themselves into thinking it's part of the ring IQ to hold your opponent over and over and turn it into a hugging contest lol

Hugging has no business in a super fight. It's about proving your the best and putting a show, sadly FLoyd like a businessman that he is and didn't care about the fans hard earned money and played it too safe. That it left us all with a bad taste in our mouth.



The boos in the arena can be heard from all that hugfest Froid roid had to undertake in the biggest fight of his life.. Pffffft pathetic..

I always thought that about America. Black people are African American but you don't call white people European American. Weird country.
