Given the history between these two I sure hope this happens. If 50 could go in at his normal weight and this does end up being a winner take all match, I have to say it will be my most anticipated fight since Mike Tyson’s retirement.

https://www.complex.com/sports/floyd-mayweather-willing-to-fight-50-cent

Mayweather isnt really tired on making these exhibition fights? Fighting with a Rapper? What in the world is happening?  ;D

50 cent had some history of boxing in the past as an amateur when he's still a teenager. Seriously?

This would be personal for Floyd. 50 Cent has been attacking him for being illiterate for a long time now. There’s plenty of YouTube videos out there showing the back and forth between the two over the years. A winner take all might also be a first for the sport?

Oh 50 cent aka Curtis Jackson is 45 years old rapper and he had some good rap songs but he stand no chance with Floyd Mayweather in anything else except maybe if they use guns :)
Mayweather is even two years younger that him, and this is just easy way for both of them to get some fresh cash quickly and without much effort.
There is also pandemic issue and I highly doubt this fight could ever happen in US, but AbuDhabi, Dubai or some other Asian country would be possible.

I love watching 50 cent's movie but fighting against the best in the sports of boxing, I doubt he would last here, unless they'll stage this one like a movie that is scripted. Well, good luck, I hope this will not again be the same with Mayweather's previous fight that did not gain a lot of attention.

Why this?

Why not Manny Pacquiao? I thought he called out Manny already.

This fight would be much more interesting than fighting Logan Paul. There was a point in which they were running a boxing promotion together but things did not go well and they started a feud which has lasted many years.

50 Cent is known for his muscular physique but he is not a real athlete and would lose badly to Mayweather. He is probably afraid to lose and that is why he keeps making excuses for why he won't fight Floyd.

Yes, he categorically says that he will do exhibitions only, so I doubt that May-Pac could happen. He is targeting 50 because they have a fall out. They used to be best buddies,

So they have a history, that's why he want's a "winner take all match".


Not sure if this is true as well. Amateur or not Floyd will whoop that a**.

he does movies too ? 50 cent is showing that he is a multi talented person .
not a  fan of him or fan of boxing but after knowing that a rapper are going for a match between the well known boxer makes me interested and excited to watch this imediately .
this match of mayweather against 50 cent wont be boring as his previous match .
mayweather has a good match to manny pacquiao because both are great boxers , they have completed a match before and there are rumors for having a another rematch

Yes. As a matter of fact, Curtis (50 cent) has featured in movies and also in television series, particularly Power. What's even more surprising is that 50 cent is the executive producer of the show/series if I remember correctly.  He's probably too busy with his new show project he's taking on - raising Kanan. While he may be a lot of things, I don't think that boxing is one of them.

---

OP, that's not fair fight. If Mayweather is eagar to get back in the ring, he should go up against a worthy competitor.

What the hell is this? Def Jam for the PlayStation 2? I mean 50 is indeed a very talented person but I'm not sure he's accepting this offer since the guy had high regards of himself and his status as one of the most prominent rappers of his time. Although I guess everything holds a price so if Pretty Boy dumped a huge rack on 50's lap he may persuade him into fighting him in an exhibition match. Also because he knew that fighting a lion in its den is a death wish. Pretty Boy has been living with boxing, 50 cent is a mere rapper with good body physique, he knew he's not gonna win.

This is how they make money and Floyd for sure have something with this one under the table. Even if 50 cent throws a trashtalk to Floyd, this can’t be the basis of a fight. Anyway, this looks like a trend now and we know how dirty Floyd is, I’ll leave this one to them and i know the result of this one so I’m not interested to bet or watch with this kind of exhibition.

Unfortunate. I as well as many others were hoping for that Mayweather-Pacman, but sadly Mayweather continues to do these kinds of exhibition matches. Even with the beef between him and 50 cent, continuing to do this kinda just seems odd. Well, granted that Mayweather has been doing this mostly for the money, I guess it isn't really that odd. Not that it'd change anything though, it'd actually be good enough if 50 cent could put up a good fight against Mayweather, but I'm pretty sure he's just gonna whoop him in the ring.

Unfortunately, Mayweather is no longer entertaining a boxing fight. He is now started the whole era of retired boxers going into exhibitions in this pandemic to raise easy money for them. They wouldn't get hurt and punished and he is relatively cherry picking his exhibition fight.

I agree though that this is interesting fight because of the beef between the two. But even though 50 Cent is bigger and more muscular, he is still no match for Floyd here.

Just another trash of a fight inside the boxing ring. Everybody has the right to get into a boxing match, but it just sounds odd when it is the undefeated Floyd facing names outside the boxing world, and probably with all the boxing cameras, analysts, judges, sanctioning bodies, and so on and so forth seriously focusing on it.

I would consider it a desecration to boxing to compare a Mayweather-vs-50 Cent match with that of Mike Tyson, even his retirement.


I'm looking at a future when the international boxing scene would just be a stage for exhibitions, celebrities trying to settle a dispute, and other personalities just wanting to show some bad-tasting boxing entertainment.

It is really odd, but it is Floyd so expect the unexpected, we really don't know if he is serious or just trolling with 50 Cent again. But I will say that 50 Cent has the upper hand as far as destroying Floyd's persona in the media.


In pro-boxing, no one is close to defeat Floyd, what's more of a rapper with supposedly amateur boxing back ground? And with their beef for many years now, we're sure he wants to whoop 50 Cent in the ring.

I do not see the need for excuses, Floyd is one of the best fighters we have seen, it does not matter how in shape you are if you are not close to the level of Floyd then you are asking to be destroyed, it is silly to fight your opponent in whatever they do best, it is as if Floyd tried to beat 50 cent in a rap battle, it is simply ridiculous to think he could beat 50 cent on his element and the same is true in reverse, Floyd does not know what to do anymore to bring attention to himself and I find this odd, maybe he is running out of money and he needs an exhibition fight to earn some money?

There is money to be made in doing an exhibition, he goes where the money is, and besides, he is safe from getting hurt Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) do not have a knock out punch, compared to Manny he is likely to get hurt and can make fun and exploit Curtis Jackson's (50 Cent) inexperience as a boxer, he is a real business minded guy and do not want to take chances with his record so instead of accepting Pacquiao's offer he chooses to be on a safe side. 

Well since both of them are experts and famous on their respective fields, I am pretty sure that the market for this kind of fight is relatively huge.

Floyd Mayweather is all about money. Anything that gives him more money (i.e. exhibition fights, etc.) would most probably be his priority in the upcoming years. I think I also stumbled upon his upcoming fight with Logan Paul (although suspended and moved to an indefinite date) but imagine fighting these amateurs and earning millions in return. Dude even if I was in his position, I would probably do the same thing.

It's gonna be interesting because as you have said, they used to run a boxing promotion together but because of money and didn't last that long and obviously, I will suspect that it is because of money issues. And not Floyd can settle their disputes once and for all.

I would say that his physique is more natural though, and probably takes hours in the gym to refined. And I agree that 50 cent will lose badly against Floyd.

WOW! I have always keep on seeing Floyd Mayweather popping on the internet on every possible match he could get, but seeing Floyd killing time on non boxer would just waste time in my opinion because people would surely anticipated on who's going to win even though this is just an exhibition match only,



I would just like to see a rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao that would surely take in more cash that an exhibition match with rappers or Youtubers.

Very clever of Floyd Mayweather to call Curtis Jackson for an exhibition match.

This is obvious win-win situation for him, and it's a winner take all, and now that this is out in the public, the ball is now on 50 Cent. If he backs out then Floyd will go and call him a chicken for not wanting to fight him. If he accepts and we all know that he will lose, then he will have no money in return plus his ego is going to hurt big time.

Wohooo what a perfect time to monetize their personal issues, and take it to the ring. It's indeed a winner take all, but they could both monetize these exhibition match. I don't know much about them, but I saw 50 cent from some of Mayweather's matches, and as I've read through the internet, I've just learned that they're a former pal with some money issues. It seems that they obviously have some money issues because they're pulling up this exhibition fight. I won't be surprised If they will cancel or reschedule the fight when It doesn't have enough sales lol.

Yes, even if it is exhibition fight. They will get something from this match. But 50 Cent calls off the fight because Mayweather can't read 2 paragraphs of NY Times bestseller.  ;D ;D

He doesn't stop attacking Mayweather regarding literacy issues.   ;D ;D ;D

Good way to make money, a fight personally then monitize it with people who idolizing them.

Promoters might need to have a good advertising scheme in order to sell this personal issue between this two gentlemen, so it's all about money and they are now trying to make more, what the heck is happening, poor people who'll buy this drama in the end will be dissapointed knowing that this two moneymaker just took advantage to them.

I don't think 50 cent will ever compete in boxing or as an athlete. He's 45 years old, a little too late to get in the game.


Its been claimed a lack of interest is behind Floyd vs Logan Paul being postponed.

If there aren't enough fans willing to spend money to buy these pay per view events, they could eventually stop proposing them.

its still money for floyd.  since they hate each other so much why don't they do it on the street and not try to make money out of it? they started an internet drama and fight through youtube videos. Mayweather is a dick and so is this Curtis who doesn't even have a boxer career. ain't that a cowardness of Floyd who just picks someone who isn't capable of fighting.

Yes that's why his nickname is 'Moneyweather' he only cares for money , maybe that is the same with Jackson but maybe Jackson wants to create a name in the world of boxing that's why even he has the lesser probability to win, he will still do that and it is just an exhibition match, how long it will take? given that there will be no KO in the beginning? will they last 5 rounds and up? if they do more money will come.

He has a lot of movies just search in google using "50 cent's movies" and you'll see the list of movies he is part of.

My personal favorite was the DEN of THIEVES, its a great movie, 50 cent died in the end, but it doesn't matter, his acting is good.  ;D

In this fight, I believe he will become a best actor.  ;D

Do they have a past beef?

As far as I know, they had beef in the past? Maybe another guy but it seems they really have a history. Mayweather seems to get on in this so quickly. A lot of exhibitions matches planned but reading the articles seems that 50 cent is not interested anymore since Floyd Mayweather can't read 2 paragraphs of his New York bestseller.

I am not sure whether it will be an anticipated fight because Mayweather is a profession boxer but Curtis Jackson is not even an amateur boxer. I know they formed the TMT promotion and then parted ways and Curtis Jackson filed for bankruptcy a few years after that but i am not sure why they are bitter enemies to put together a fight :-\.

I would like to see Ja Rule and Curtis Jackson fight rather than with a professional boxer  ;D.

Let it happen 50 cent. Since the fight of Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul seems to be not happening, or might not happen, it is better if he will still keep the hype and find another opponent. It is would be better if he will be fighting Manny Pacquiao for the rematch but I also want to see 50 cent go against an undefeated champion, not expecting much though since this is just an exhibition match.

It looks like actually there are many fights planned for Floyd Mayweather, what happened to Logan Paul fight, since there were not many interest in the match it looks like they postponed the fight and then there was a rumor about the Manny Pacquiao fight and i do not see any further development on that regard either and why should Curtis Jackson fight Mayweather, a back ground brawl would be a great view rather than pure boxing  :D.

If this fight takes place, it will gather millions of boxing fans. In general, I like Curtis Jackson's policy of making money. He's always in step with the times. I'll never forget his story how he sold his albums for bitcoins and became a millionaire.

Yes, Floyd's calendar seems to be booked 2021-22 with all this exhibitions fights.

The Manny Pacquiao fight is just like that, a rumour, I'm not expecting Floyd challenging Pacquiao even in an exhibition match. I'm thinking that they could have settled their score years ago without going public. But if Floyd can make a lot of money here fighting Curtis Jackson then why not. But personally I'm not a fan of this exhibition match.

Best  actor to face down on the  canvass?  :D For those who arent aware that 50cent isnt really just a rapper or just in music industry then they should really be at least aware that he's indeed also a movie actor.

I dont know if he agreed on to fight mayweather for some personal reasons or just simply he do really look for something that could generate even more money which is more than on the amount that he can
make on acting or in music industry.

Agree into those points above that personal problems between this two is really adding up on the hype but i doubt that this one will buy out but instead people would really be seeing this as an obvious way
to fuel up the situation to make it more interesting which means it is indeed on the win-win situation side of things.

Overall, im not really that much interested to pay some bucks to see this fight because you do already know on whats the outcome of this.

It seems like Floyd Mayweather is creating all the hype to make his come back, he tried to have an exhibition fight with Logan Paul and no one seems to care to watch the fight and so it looks like they have postponed until there is enough eyes to make the maximum benefit. There are new names that does not make any cents, why would a retired pro boxer face a Hip Hop artist even in exhibition no one will care to spent any time.

The only fight Mayweather can make money and actually make sense is the Pacquiao fight and it could be one of the biggest PPV fights.

dont worry 50 cent already called off the fight. lol i guess these exhibition fights, Mayweather's asking price is too high. the reason why his supposedly fight with Logal Paul didnt materialise. thought it will sell as logan has a lot of yt followers. but now, since it hasnt pushed thru, he's asking nonprof boxers to fight him, for what? for money, again? i dont think 50 Cent will seriously pay attention on this challenge.

I am just biased against Mayweather and want to see a heavyweight beat him into submission for all of us big guys that have to suffer through watching a 150lb man talk about himself like he's the greatest fighter ever... 

I'd settle for that heavyweight being 50 Cent if possible, but let's face it...  We're all hoping that a Mike Tyson vs Floyd Mayweather matchup happens at some point.  Would love to see another 30 second 1st round KO from the champ before he disappears from the boxing scene again.

I never thought it will happen, but if it will, I still doubt if Mike Tyson could KO Mayweather.
Mayweather knows the reputation of Mike Tyson and he will always use his classic strategy which is the hit and run, and the right will be boring.

This could be another publicity stunt, just like the Floyd vs that Youtube idiot proposed bout. I don’t think it will happen, if it does you have to question what is the point in this circus? Floyd doesn’t need the money, why does he keep advertising these fights? It makes a mockery of the sport man.

Yes I agree with you. Mayweather has NEVER been defeated by anyone, never, so I don't think this old Tyson could KO him in only few rounds.

Sorry, but this will be more like the fight with McGregor: everyone will get it's hype and money.

Despite Mayweather is really high skilled champion, the last fight he has really strong opponent it was his fight with Pacquiao in 2015. Fight with Conor was not the boxing itself, it was obvious who will win in long term after few rounds. And it was obvious that Conor will not hit Floyd with knock out (to high level of the opponent for such things). And now Floyd want more to monetize  his name than to fight worthy opponents (but I'm not sure there still such people in his weight. Whatever)

Of course i will watch this, but it's looks like comedy rather than glorious match.

No comment to Curtis Jackson but what I can say to him is that he's been fooled by Mayweather. How much we will receive after this scripted fight?

This obviously talks about money, the winner takes all. This will boost someone to make a fight even he knows that there is no chance to win. That even legendary and known boxers losses against Mayweather how much more for a rapper?

Just like the other said, this will be more on comedy. Have 50 cents on this.

Does Curtis Jackson even have a boxing experience?

I'm just wondering as I only saw him in action movies, but this should not be automatic as the same in real life, right? Let's say he has knows boxing and has an a little experience, I would still say that even in a scripted fight he would not win.

First of all, it is not a fact that Curtis will agree to the fight and even if he has the slightest boxing skills, I am not at all sure that he has the slightest chance in a fight under the rules of boxing with Mayweather. Still, I think, although the headlines of such news sound bright for the layman, but still I personally think that it would be much more honest for the viewer if such fights are held either purely between professionals or purely between amateurs.

What do you mean by "the rules of boxing"?

We all know that Mayweather is a professional boxer and I agree that Curtis Jackson has no chance of winning against him. But I disagree that you are saying that he has no experience in terms of boxing because he is a boxer himself in the past. I know that it is in the past but I don't see any problem with that but in the end, we all know who'll win in this match.

The rules of boxing are going to be bend here, it will be just an exhibition match so definitely as Floyd is the pure boxing here, will have all the advantage. I'm not sure if 50 Cent though has agree to the match or not. 50 Cent is not a boxer, they say that he is an amateur boxer and even win a Golden Gloves but it is debatable. I can't find any records of him boxing as an amateur.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is really busy this year, because it is planned to fight with three people in an exhibition match. His opponents include Logan
Paul, Jake Paul and 50 Cent. He last boxed Mayweather in 2017 against Conor McGregor and managed to win convincingly. In fact, of the three
people Mayweather would face the most interesting of course, facing 50 Cent, because between Mayweather and 50 Cent there are personal problems.
So the fight will be more exciting, in fact, Mayweather mentions that a fight with the Paul brothers would make a lot of money. But against 50 Cent is
a battle to be won. But according to rumors the Mayweather vs 50 Cent fight is scheduled for later this year. Even though I can't wait for the two to meet
in the boxing ring.

this is just sad. he can't take the insults so he wants to fight 50 cent on a sport where he excell? the fight wouldn't prove anything other than Mayweather winning the fight, beating the shit out of 50 cent and taking all the money if the rules winner takes all.

81kg should be nothing for those who have 68kg.
This exhibition, if it really takes place, should be tragic, unless it does not pass a staging for the purpose of winning the spotlights.

Although, on closer examination, both have been in trouble since 2012 when they became partners in a company, correct me if I'm wrong. So, it could be that this is the chance to solve the problem once and for all.

We may not agree with it but Mayweather based on what we saw in his interest, he likes to fight celebrities to gain more attention, he called himself undefeated and the best but he is the one leading to destroy the reputation of boxing.

Teofimo Lopez is right, i like this guy, he is so passionate about boxing and vocal as well.
 
Teofimo Lopez Says Mayweather Ruining His Legacy By Doing Exhibitions (https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/02/teofimo-lopez-says-mayweather-ruining-his-legacy-by-doing-exhibitions/)

Mayweather wishing 50cent could accept to fight him in an exhibition fight is a stupid thing to do when Pacman promoter offers him the chance to give us an anticipated rematch but I think Mayweather wanted to fight 50cent because he sees him as an underdog and the last time I checked 50cent is a street fighter, once a drug dealer before moving yo music.
I hope Mayweather would able to handle his punches cause the man is a beast and he doesn't play when it comes to fighting that's why he said Mayweather is small for him.

Too exaggerated for you to described him that way when it comes to experience which do ends up on a having that punching power.Not to frustrate you but nothing
beats out someone on the ring that had been constantly making some training for decades which is totally different when you are just a streetfighter or a drug dealer.
Try to compare it technically or even with just common sense you can eventually spot out which one does have the advantage.
Mayweather will be accepting on fight that would turn out to be simple for him.

What legacy? he doesn't care about his legacy anymore when he started this exhibitions fight with a over match Japanese fighter. It's all for the money for him, that's it. That's how fans are going to remember him but he doesn't care. For him skills pay the bills.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rmOgC_hzJU

This was 2015 interview of him before the Pacquaio fight.

He wouldnt really care about legacy thing and i do agree with those sentiments above but well its his own body and mind to decide and its none of our business if he had taken that path.
Money comes first and thats why he do really had that kind of nickname due into that kind of behavior.Its shameful? in the sense your a boxer that do fight for your pride and glory
but not all boxers would have that kind of mindset. This is a sport that can really be make as a business on via doing these exhibition fights.Win-win situation where you cant
affect your stats in case you do lost and also you can potentially earn big money with this.

There is just no honor for Floyd, you really can't find any wisdom from this guy but the money in mind all the time. If this guy lost his money, I don't think you can ever find someone who will act as if he is a friend to this guy.

They use to be friends, I see 50cents back when they walk going to the ring to fight someone. The covid19 had really made the worse of people that the two lost their minds.

I don't understand the desire to see that kind of match.

Fighting against the same class, Mayweather always has an advantage. That's an exhibition match and attempting a money making scheme.

Hopefully, that fight will end up the same as what happens to the supposedly fight with Logan Paul. Not worth watching.

What do you expect in a fight between a true boxer and a rap who pretends to know boxing, this is going to be one-sided, I don't think 50 Cent can keep up with Mayweather and I have a strong belief that this is the fight is going to be staged, they are once a friend and I don't think they want to seriously hurt one another especially Mayweather on 50 Cent.

With this fights, they are destroying the true meaning of boxing TBH.
Exhibition fights? Why just fight another boxer instead of fighting a celebrity. Ohhhh wait for the sake of money. So they can destroy boxing for the sake of money. This isn't the true meaning of boxing.

There had been many exhibition fights like this but I didn't try to watch one because it isn't entertaining. It is more entertaining to see 2 real fighters fight in the real ring compare to these kind of fights.

I just hope this just stops.

Celebrities are just asking who they wanted to fight not defending any titles or their honor in the boxing ring. If you have a beef or just wanting to earn money nowadays, the boxing ring is open to be at your service. I respect the sport, I respect boxing, I respect hugely the boxers but I just hope other people respect this the same. These days, it is just a fight that gives you money after your match.

You have a point, we all know that boxing has evolved as a sports as well, being a business when managers like Bob Arum and Don King enter the picture. But still they have made a lot of good fights in the last 30 years. But this day, it suddenly turns into a joke and circus when Floyd started the whole era of exhibition matches. The blame should be put on Floyd, for making boxing a money making machines for Youtube sensations and other celebrities.

Boxing right now is turning to be List of celebrity boxing matches. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_celebrity_boxing_matches)

Well said, it shouldn't be that way, this is well respected sport and not a venue to suck money from the fans.

Personal fight for monitizing better to bring them inside ufc no more rules and no more gloves just pure fighting up to the end,  a gentlemans fight winner take all. Though there are still some people who will buy this for the sake of entertainment or for the hope that Mayweather might hit big time, those haters!  ;D

I don't think we should blame Floyd here.

There are a lot of personalities or celebrities that get on in this and tried to start other fighters to face on the ring. One of the first and I think the root of all of this is the fight of two YouTube sensations, Logan Paul and KSI. After that match, Logan's brother Jake started to fight too, and then his annoying confidence grew bigger taunting YouTubers and even celebrities and athletes.

I agree on some point but I disagree on redirecting the blame to Mayweather. First of all, he is a professional boxer and all the guys that asking for exhibition game is not a boxer at all. If you are a professional, you should know that it’s unprofessional to fight a non-boxer person evn if it’s taunting because that’s what we called professionalism. Floyd is now a celebrity rather than a boxer because he is just fighting solely for money and not for glory.

If he keeps on giving exhibition to fighters that are not on his level, people will look down on him because to be great and continue to be great you must fight the best and continue to fight the best, just like what Pacquiao is doing, people will respect boxers who choose to stay fighting real fight than doing exhibition even though they are still in their prime.

But are you sure that most of these people are looking at it as you?

Just thinking about the fights that would happen, there are a lot of people already hyped for those fights not even caring about the results or the reason for this fight. The reason there are fights like this means that there are people supporting and watching it. You can say all you want but as long as these people are still earning the money they wanted, yeah, I think it will not stop.

It will not stop because we are supporting it, there are people who are willing to spend $100 for a fight and that Floyd is taking advantage of his popularity. He have fights before and it was all successful, just an exhibition but people are watching, therefore we can't blame Floyd for continuously running his show.

How about we blame Floyd for only trying to showcase what is profitable on his part and not worth watching on the part of the boxing fans? There will be people who will watch this fight. I am sure of it. Floyd is a colorful man with a nice boxing record. 50 Cent is also popular. We all know that whoever it is who is very popular in any field will have a huge following even if they are doing something crazy. A rapper wearing the boxing gloves fighting against a former champ inside the ring is definitely crazy but controversial therefore profitable.

If he keeps doing this people will be fed up and stop supporting this exhibition, you are not going to get anything from watching this drama, they just hyped it for money, this is purely for entertainment, there's no thrill because you already know who is going to win the match, you will just wish that it will be a long punishment and the other guy who is a pretender can give him a good fight, I like watching this kind of fight on replay because things are pretty expected.

I don’t think it’ll ever stop because it’s actually more of a business strategic agreement between two parties and somewhat create more drama for people to watch more of the game and put their money on who they think are a much better boxer. And it’s a win-win for both parties because they still get some amount of $$ whether they win or lose. Some even have already placed their bets even before they announce when the show is.

It's really disappointing that most matches are now made just to earn money. I don't think it would be a fair match because we all know that Mayweather is too experienced in the boxing field while Curtis Jackson has been in a different field for such a long time. I think Jackson wants to prove something in the ring and we should just all wait for that.

I really doubt that this will happen. We are talking about Floyd Mayweather and 50 cents here, I get that this "celeb fight" thing became a bit more famous these days, and there are few who does it, hell maybe a decade ago even Canadian president (back then he wasn't) did it, so I get the hype for it, but I am not really fine with the fact that it should be between a famous celeb versus a real fighter, that part is a bit weird and doesn't really attract me.

What is the point of watching Mayweather beating some celeb? I mean we all know he could destroy them in under one minute if he wants to, will he do it or not? I do not know but he CAN if he wants to that is the important part. I know that 50 cents would want to fight and beat Mayweather but we also know that it is impossible for him to do that and he knows that so he is not going to even attempt at it.

I know my statement will be unacceptable and unreasonable to some boxing fan but I want you to understand that I am also Mayweather fan. However, I like the to face the reality about this kind of things because Mayweather is going after opponent he believes will be easy for him to win which the reason why he ignore Pacman rematch but he underestimated 50cent that why he choose to fight him an exhibition fight and I can assure that 50cent will disappointment cause 50cent also have experienced in boxing though he may not use it as a professional boxer.
Having said, I don't think the fight will hold again cause 50cent said "The fight is off because Floyd cant read 2 paragraphs of my New York Times best seller (Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter) on IG live."

Well, you have a point there. It will never stop because we are supporting them and we enjoyed what they played.
This exhibition fight will surely gain too much moment, the organizer and both players were getting excited. However, I don't think that the opponent will able to have that, amazing staff. Whatever happens, even if this is only an exhibition game will surely be sold all tickers inside.

And it comes a business which is already becoming and obvious thing on this industry since it isnt really just right to have these exhibition matches on a very active manner.

Doing these kind of events on a very rare occasion would really be might considerable or understandable but now they are making it as a new trend or becoming a normal where
cross sport matches or does even involved youtube sensation, actors, singers etc. do really find out to be bullshit at all.

How would you compare nor fix a match on a fight where you can see that the outcome is already way too obvious? They are just milking out the people or fans.

If this exhibition fight will continue then I think some pro boxers out there should join this. It's clearly showing that Mayweather is just taking advantage of his popularity while gaining some money because those people supported it. Mayweather is coming left and right with these exhibition fights as if these people would win but I think these people willing to fight with him is already paid big by someone.

This won't stop until there are people who keep on supporting this kind of fight and they just keep supporting also the people who paid for these kind of fight.

Boxing is a sport and many or i would say everyone is  doing it to make money to have a good life and you are talking about celebrities wanting to fight retired boxers, if they think that they can make money even after retirement then what is the problem. These fights takes place only because they are getting an audience, you will not hear any celebrity challenging a top boxer or a champion because they know they will sleep inside the ring.

Will this really happen?

I guess these are just rumors, it's not confirm yet and I think people are more interested on Logan Paul's fight than this one, so probably this will not push through too, like the fight of Mayweather previously announced.

Just don't bother thinking because boxers whatever class or division they are at, they are all fighting for money.

But only those who are on top rankings would really be given out the chance on having these kind of exhibition fights not all would really be given out that kind of opportunity.
The more popular you are the more hype or interest might possibly be into it which will really be showing off if they would push the fight or not and same as you said
that i would rather look if he fight Logan than with 50cent but no matter which one of these fights then its clear as day that this is a serious business.

This potential fight can not be compared to the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones jr. Fight. Mike Tyson in his prime was probably the most dangerous man on earth at that time and i'm pretty sure he would have also knocked out muhammad ali. He was just so extremely fast an powerful.
Same goes for Roy Jones jr. He seemed almost unbeatable in the early 2000's. Plus Mike Tyson donated most of his 10 M$ dollar salary.
You can be 100% sure that Mayweather won't donate a single penny of his salary. 50 cent also was bankrupt a few years ago if i remember correctly.
So for me this fight is just a disgusting publicity stunt to make Floyd "Money" Mayweather even richer than he already is. :-X

It is clear that as long as the public is willing to pay for such a show, then such demonstration fights will definitely be held. Another question is that the main thing here is not to overfeed the audience with such performances, which have nothing to do with the sports part and are already beginning to strongly resemble wrestling with its staged fights. It is not even clear how to perceive this, either as a crisis of professional boxing when the audience is no longer interested in real fights, or on the contrary as an indicator of popularity, when the audience is ready for such near-sports shows.

The money that will pour in this celebrity fight will definitely be something to watch out for. If I were a fan of this kinds of disasters of show or a fanatic of a certain celebrity, I would go there no matter what happens. We all know that Mayweather will crush any celebrity but it wouldn't hurt to watch it, remember that we could be the people that want to watch a disaster, and this thing could humanize our favorite celebrities. To make this fight interesting, I suggest that they would not bet on who wins but a certain events should be bet on in real time like who will be the first highlight after the end of the round or who will go down first or how long will the rounds last.

Since we all knew that fans will still be there to watch this fight, maybe days will come where this sport will be more on entertainment and no longer a real fight.  ::) :P

Though it's still depends from the people sorround this event and how they will bring the directions of this sport.,
We can't remove the fact that most of them are looking for money generating fight the more they see opportunities
the more we will see this kind of fight.

Yeah i have been following this issue and 50 cents Hated Floyd that bad, but the thing is why this seems to be not in the air while there are so many Boxers being in matching with floyd?

Looks like aside from Manny Pacquiao there is another Game that i will look at now.

I came across this article and it seems like the betting is whether the fight will happen or not, lol

Odds Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent Fight in 2021
 (https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/boxing/odds-favor-against-floyd-mayweather-fighting-50cent-2021/)

https://i.imgur.com/bbfo6H5.png

I don't know what sites have offered this kind of odds, but it looks like betting nowadays are on anything, so crazy.

If any Vegas betting house comes out with a odds like this, then you cannot trust Floyd Mayweather or Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent, they will wage a million dollar bet on fighting and probably share the profit  :D. The odds of having this match up is really high and you never know whether these fighters will wage online, in some sports you are not allowed to wage on your matches but there are many gamblers in sports and i guess they do wage online and if the line changes drastically then we will know that something is brewing behind the scene :D.

Which is exactly what it should happen, exhibition fights among two living legends of the boxing world are attractive, or at least it is to me, but exhibition fights like the ones Floyd Mayweather is proposing are a complete waste of time and money, so I'm not surprised that no one is interested in seeing those kind of fights, even if there is still a long way for the pandemic to be over the fact that now the vaccine is available should mean that regular fights should start once again and that we do not need these exhibition fights anymore.

Its becoming the new trend and it wont really be surprising that we would see lots of it on upcoming years to come specially those boxers do saw that earning money
on this way is more easy rather than on having an actual fight against a true boxer.Fighting with some celebs or popular ones is just like trying to beat up a chick
inside the ring which simply means it would really be just a little effort and then viola.. easy money for them with just a low amount of effort.
I dont know if this one looks entertaining specially you do already know the outcome.

After beating UFC star Conor McGregor, Mayweather retired from professional boxing in 2017. UFC president Dana White also announced 50 Cent kickstarted the crossover match talks, after telling him that Floyd wanted to defeat McGregor. Mayweather returned to Japan for an exhibition where he knocked over featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. And, despite the event shifting from its original February date, he is set for a similar spectacle battle against YouTuber Logan Paul. 50 Cent was an ever-present part of his entourage, in training camps and on fighting nights, for most of Mayweather's career. The music artist would rap the legend of boxing into the ring and featured prominently in the '24/7' series behind the scenes of HBO. But Jackson claims to have helped set up The Money Team in 2012 when Mayweather went to prison and says he was owed $2 million. After Mayweather was released and showed no signs of paying up, according to 50 Cent, the trouble began. Despite the 50-0 icon topping, Forbes' rich list of the decade with a £ 706m fortune, Jackson has repeatedly accused Mayweather of running out of money.

Maybe the main purpose of the fight or the hype was just for money and entertainment. It's an interesting fight to see but seriously to fight Mayweather? a boxing legend is I don't think a good idea. There could also be some issues with 50 cent weight or maybe he can achieve around 150. To fight Mayweather he needs to go down with Mayweather with around a 150 and 50cent only achieved this weight only once in his lifetime. But as Mayweather retirement, he just wants an exhibition matches like this as it is not a professional level and just for entertainment.

I like 50 cent, his achievements in the music industry and even in the movie industry but I think he should forget about Ufc fighting for those who are good in it.
His age alone says it all.

I am guessing this fight is just for the money there, nothing special. Still let the best fighter win, I won't be betting on any though.

any party who refuses to fight could have bet on this platform. mayweather could suddenly change his mind and ask for 90-10 in favor of him. this is win-win situation for floyd wheres the money mayweather.


the main purpose is money. although they created an internet drama on youtube, floyd figured they could make money out of it. its a nasty business for the boys who don't cross-dress.

That is interesting.  I don't think there's any chance the fight happens at this point.  Mayweather saying it is a winner take all basically was his way of saying he won't fight, but it's because of 50 Cent and 50 Cent positioned himself like this was a media stunt to sell more of his books.

I am curious what real bets are available to us Bitcoiners about this fight.  Seems like a pretty easy call that this fight won't happen.  It was fun to think about though.  I want to see Floyd fight someone over 200lbs so bad...

I have not read the previous pages of this thread, and in general I suspect that this fight is unlikely to happen, but damn it, I would look at that. It would be interesting how these guys solve their long-standing dispute in the ring. And, to be honest, I would also like to enter the ring with my old friends with whom I have unresolved disputes. But what is even more interesting is what I would like to see in the ring of OG and Vod, I would even bet on such sparring, (although I think I'm not the only one who would be interested in this kind of bets.).

I bet this fight won't happen.

It might just be a beef that would never fruit into something that people would watch, not even telling that we already knew who will win. Why would people even watch a match where they already know who wil win? right? Let's just hope that Floyd is enjoying his retirement, with all of this seems he's not happy with it.

Did you just say that this is the last time Floyd will have a match? if this is true I think it is very possible, why should he choose not to fight if he knows that he will win in this fight? I don't know C. Jackson honestly but I think in terms of experience Floyd will win regardless of his strategy that is very annoying, and for the sake of money he will fight of course. I'm not updates in boxing related thing though but what fight I'm still waiting and hoping it is Floyd VS Manny.

There are a lot of reasons for that.

With a lot of fighters want to face Mayweather, I don't think winninng is what matters to him, it is an obvious goal but all in all, it is all about the impact of that match and the money they will be getting.

It seems his fight against Logan would be delayed and I think the purpose of that is for them to get more time to advertise their match.

Don't be so serious about promotions like this , it is obvious that the Marketing team of Boxing is looking in which fight they gonna earn bags of money .

It is an obvious Sh!t of Boxing industry nowadays that the Boxers are not intended to play their role instead they are acting for the sake of money.

What in the world that a Famous and titled Boxers (Not to Mention Him being Undefeated) to have a fight first in MMA fighter, then tried to fair with a Yotuber (But fails because of Lack of responses) and now a Rapper?

More like of an exhibition game and it's obvious in the first place what's the reason of the fight it's because of money and more like the entertainment was just second in line. He's still the best one to fight with Mayweather but the problem is when the fight was still the same as before they head to head it's better not to happen again and I'd be more entertained if he's fighting some unknown one pretending they are into boxing.

Looks like he's being unique these days maybe he's thinking it will be the same when he fought McGregor that stash are flowing on PPV when I'm fact the crowd was disappointed of the outcome of the fight.

Haha, I understand the frustration mate, Mayweather seemed to be looking for an easy fight all the time, after he retire, all his fight are not even a competitive one, In Conor's fight, he made a lot of money and that was coming from an easy effort, so that makes him more inspired to continue doing the same sh>t.

What do you think about Manny's new tweet?

https://twitter.com/MannyPacquiao/status/1359188040212647940

https://i.imgur.com/635AidU.png

That must be an exciting news, while Manny Pacquiao is getting back and busy preparing for a bigger fight, Mayweather also makes himself busy looking for an easy fight, you will know difference of the two.

Manny Pacquiao  is talking of a big fight and adding legacy, I think he is talking about the triple G fight, would you agree?

Nice one @Ziskinberg, good update, Manny unintentionally hi-jack this thread. lol

Every time we read the name Mayweather, Manny is always a comparison, and though Mayweather is undefeated but most people think Manny was the best fighter compared to him.

By the way, on the GGG fight, I thought Manny have already killed that rumor.

accordingly : https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2020/08/09/manny-pacquiao-gennadiy-golovkin-weight/

I would be really hyped if it is triple G.

I don't want him to fight Connor McGregor. Ryan Garcia is been pushed by some but I agree with Ryan Garcia's coach (https://www.rappler.com/sports/boxing/ryan-garcia-trainer-opposed-potential-pacquiao-bout) that Manny Pacquiao is not a great match for him. He is so young and that might be harder for Ryan since he will be climbing classes and the experience that Manny has. Triple G is the best boxer Manny should fight, I agree that it would be adding legacy to his legendary history.

Triple G is too big for Manny so I don't think that it is viable as well.

The only fight that worth so at least some weight on Manny's legacy is to fight the champion in 147 lbs, Crawford and Spence.

And for 50 cent vs Floyd Mayweather, still a big question mark, Lol, really doesn't make sense.

For a catch weight fight maybe this would happen, but if for a championship fight, I think it's hard but possible.

These two fighters will not make a move that put them in disadvantage, GGG is a heavy hitter as well, probably heavy hitter than Thurman but with Manny's speed, he might be able to dominate GGG like what he did to other bigs in the sports.

Two much Floyd Mayweather in 2021.

People talk about his fight against Logan Paul. Then there are information about his fight against Pacman. Now 50 cent - is this going to be a rap battle? Who would Floyd fight next?

What is this all about? Floyd wants to promote something or is running out of money (doubt that) ? I'm confused  :-\

Only "two"?  Are you sure? :D
He's getting old and you can't do box fighting when you are 50 years old...
 so I think he fights as much as he can before being stopped by his age.

In fact, we can't talk about "too much/two much" because none of this fights was announced officially. It's only rumors. Fight with Logan Paul was canceled.

The only fight which can happen is rematch with Pacquiao. And even this is under big question, because as I know Pc will fight with Mikey Garcia at first

I do not think that the preparation and conduct of such fights will require any special super-efforts on the part of Mayweather and very strong sacrifices for the usual way of life and Floyd can conduct such fights in series ;) But as for the match with Pacquiao, this is a completely different matter, but as it is rightly said, Pacquiao still has slightly different plans for the next fight.

With these lots of rumors and possible fight arrangement then it turns out that this one becomes confusing on who the hell will Mayweather would wanna fight?  :D

Maybe, Mayweather is also checking the pulse of the boxing fans and looking for which match will give him more money.  ;D The reason why Logan Paul's fight was cancelled because it seems they couldn't get much from that fight. And since Mayweather is up because of the money involved, he scrapped it. So now, he is looking for a potential fight whether exhibition or real fight that will again rake money from the boxing fans. He's just testing waters here for all we know.

Then its already becoming a typical thing for choosing opponents on which one would generate money the most.Yes, this is also a business and its not surprising to see these things.

I already anticipated that Logan vs Mayweather wont really be making that much of hype or attention.As long it wont be finalized then this nitpicking would still continue and
as you said this is just like trying to check on which one do really create some interest because it does basically means money for them.

This is a method Floyd Mayweather usually does to understand how much money he can make and to understand the public interest for the names thrown by his publicity team and that is how Conor McGregor fight was made as there were much hype and they knew they hit the jackpot at the right time but throwing all these nobodies will not attract any hype until it is the Manny Pacquiao rematch .

I guess the rematch will only happen once Pacquiao is officially retired, this year according to some rumors, Pacquiao is going to fight Crawford and this is a big fight and probably his last fight if he lose since he has nothing to prove, then he will relax and both parties (Pacquiao and Mayweather) can schedule for a rematch that their official record will not be affected with that specific fight.

Exactly, I think we all remember that at the beginning of the pandemic when we were just realizing that this was going to be serious business that there was a time in which there was no sport being played and for those of us that are fans of sports it was a really difficult time because the only thing that you were left with was with watching reruns of previous games, so I can understand why people were curious about these kind of exhibition fights but now many sports are being played safely with many measures in place to try to stop the spread of the virus so we do not really need exhibition fights anymore.

And thank goodness, as if this fight had really passed, hundreds of thousands of hardcore fans would have been horrified. Simply put, this fight didn't bode well for Floyd if he really wants to get into boxing history as a boxer and not as a marketer, (but I would love to watch Curtis Jackson teach Floyd to keep his word).

Would be funny if this will push thru, and Curtis will be declared a winner. Though it is unlikely to happen but if miraculously Curtis really prepared for this fight to our surprise. Don't know what Mayweather will do afterwards.  ;D

But it seems 50 Cent has no interest on this rumour based on his social media, as he is still mocking Mayweather.

Mayweather will always make an excuse, he would easily say that this is just an exhibition fight, he just want to entertain the crowd, still even if a loss he remains undefeated in his professional record in boxing. If he loss, he will ask for a rematch, easy as that, and easy money as well.

He would not because he values his undefeated record a lot, he retired in professional boxing because he thinks he have proven enough and remains the best. Now, this exhibition fights might not degrade his reputation but most of us are sure not happy with this.

Never! nothing will be change, as Mayweather with his  self proclaimed legacy from this sport will never give any entertainment with those fans who wanted to see some head to head / punch by punch actions.

Reality wise, if ever this exhibition will take place, it will be the same old Mayweather tactics, punch run smile and so on.. Nothing to excite the fans, unless something unexpected with 50cent.

Something that the fans will truly benefits with the amount that they'll be paying for this fight.  Most of those who will spare their money for this fight are hoping that even in a slight chance 50 Cent might hit Mayweather, that will be the changing pace of this event. ;D ::) :P

It is very unlikely that we will ever see Floyd fighting professionally ever again, to him his undefeated record is everything, he really cares about it and he is not going to take the risk so late on his life when he was especially careful all his career to always handpick his opponents and do so under the best circumstances for him, however I am sure that if it was up to him he will give us hundreds of exhibition fights as he loves to earn money as well with little to not effort.

I think ego will tell Mayweather that he is a good boxer and he needs to continue with the match. But his brain is telling him, you are already rich, he might beat you. To be honest I did not see 50 cent fight on the ring but when some people say that 50 cent used to fight then he might need a lilttle more training then fight Floyd. The only question is, would Floyd want to do the fight? There is always a possibility of defeat and he does not want to tarnish his record.

Floyd is the one who wanted this fight, (a) to get easy money (b) to settle his beef with 50 Cent. So there's no question about Floyd's intention here. The question is are fight fans wanted to see another circus show from Floyd.

And I would say no, but the good thing is that there are a lot of good fights in the line up for this year so I doubt that this will gain traction from boxing fans, except maybe pure Floyd's die hard fanatics.

Fans would not want it, if Floyd wasn't satisfied with the result of his suppose to be exhibition fight with Logan Paul, I have no doubt that this one would be no different, Floyd keep hyping us but we have learn and have matured, but if he will ask Manny, then that's another story.

This plain joke of a match Trying to make a professional match between an athlete near the peak in a sports and someone playing it for fun (50 Cents doing some boxing does NOT make him anything above a hobbyist) . Perfect Mayweather wanting easy money plus the W.

Easy money with not sweat, that's what he want to make now, and yet still calling himself as the best boxer in his generation which is a complete joke if you'll ask me, my criteria is very simple, being undefeated doesn't mean you are the best, if you are boring, people would not respect you, that's what I see on Mayweather.

I think Floyd Mayweather is learning the hard way how fickle people can be, it seems he thought he could always be on top and as long as he kept talking and people will still be willing to pay to see him fight even if he was fighting nobodies, but now he is seeing that people actually admired him for what he could do above the ring and now that he cannot do it anymore or he is unwilling then he is finding out no one wants to see his exhibitions fights.

Mayweather named himself as money, so it's obvious that this fight is just all about money. I guess this only depends on the fans of these 2 if they'll buy the PPV, if not then this fight will not happen as it's solely based on the fans. I also hope that people will not support it because it will slowly ruin the sports of boxing.

For me it's just a good promotions between them, and fighting with a rapper who has no experience and skills in boxing was really entertaining. They're doing this for sake of money actually, and nothing to do about boxing, because if you compare 50 cent with Floyd that's totally not a good match. Exactly the beat is for Floyd, I don't know how they'll able to create hype over 50 cent since he's only popular rapper and not a boxer.

I’m just not in this camp. I don’t think Mayweather’s tiny ass could really do any damage to 50. He’d win in decision for sure, but I think 50 would have a fair chance of knocking him out if he could fight at 70 pounds heavier. I really don’t think this would be about money for either of them. They have too much negative history.

I still hope the day comes they let a heavyweight fight a lightweight. People like Mayweather saying they’re the greatest has warped the younger generation’s mind. I stand by the statement that Mayweather would get his ass kicked fighting a below average heavyweight.

Oh! Talking about cross-division kind of fights but we know that on an official or ranked type then we wont really be seeing this stuff but for exhibition then they can put all those possible boxers/fighters
on whats up into their mind as long they can benefit it out.

Im not really into that belief that Gayweather would be asswhopped by 50 basing off with experience and career.even though he had some history of being a boxer but that wont really be enough.

There's too much gap when it comes to body build and with stamina itself which is really be a big difference.

at least now we are 100% sure that Manny will go up the ring again , though wondering who will be the opponent .
But with the word "Big news Ahead" meaning the team are cooking a great fight and not just a Rapper and a Youtuber  ;D ;D ;D

You bring an interesting point, weight divisions are there to offer a level playing field to fighters, but it is obvious that the heavyweight division is always the king in whatever fighting sport we are talking about, the lighter divisions can offer better technique and impressive speed but even an average heavyweight should beat the best fighter of the lower divisions simply because they do not have the power to KO the heavyweight while the heavyweight only needs a single hit to win the fight.

Nothing has really materialized in this entire month and I think it might be worth considering closing this thread so we don't keep rehashing the same opinions. Floyd's most recent comments suggest that his fight against Logan Paul will be rescheduled.

Lmao if this does happen this will be the realization of Def Jam for the PlayStation 2. Mayweather really be doing these exhibition fightrs against people he know won't win against him in technicalities. So yeah, if this does happen, one helpful tip he can use is to ensure that Mayweather is knocked out, otherwise he won't win against him.

Unfortunately no opponent can knock him out as Mayweather is so quick and he is so smart in the ring, he does not engage a lot in a toe to toe fight, his classic technique is a hit and run to score, his been doing that and that made him successful, no way he will change, so most likely it will still be a boring fight if it will happen.

So far, there are no updates or further information for about this fight to happen but still remain as a rumor which is not really surprising at all.When it comes to technicalities
then i dont know on why other people is considering out for 50 cent to win up this match? Arent they blind to see on who does have the edge?
Who does have the experience and who does have the capability? Lets say that Curtis might have some experience but it wont really
be enough to be a match up to mayweather.

Even if the odds will give 50 cent a x50, I would still choose to bet on Mayweather, I don't want to do a charity in this fight, in fact I would not buy a PPV once this fight would happen and I'm sure people would not support it, it's a show, just like a wrestling match, if we keep tolerating this stupid exhibition fight, we are support Floyd to make many of this fight instead of getting into real fight or just relax after retirement.

Easy money for him because we love to get fooled.

I love, respect, and sometimes supported Mayweather but what you just said now is making it sound like Mayweather is some kind of superman who can never be defeated by anyone. For the record, Mayweather usually went for the opponent that doesn't pose much threat to him this is what fans believe when he didn't want to give Pacman the rematch.
Having said that, he's known for his hit and run technique but if he faces a threat opponent he will have no choice but to change his technique when oppressed.

He would never change, he has face the best boxers in the sports and he won easily.

2 of the boxers he beat that are still active now and a champion on their own division.

1-Manny Pacquiao
2- Canelo Alvarez.

Mayweather beat them by unanimous decision and look how good these two are now, so I can say Mayweather is smart.. about saying that no one can knock him out, I'm just exaggerating.  :)

I think, he's just too serious responding on your comment above.  ;D But I like the statement about Mayweather's technique. You hit the nail on the head there, when you say about his classic technique of hit and run to score.  ;D ;D That's why I never considered Mayweather as the greatest boxer of all time even if his record is perfect. Because when it comes to toe-to-toe fight, he is just running away from his opponent and busy counting his score while running around the ring. Most boxing fans want the fighting style of Pacquiao as it never gets boring.

This is why he has a huge ego he has beaten two of the best active boxers, and we should give him credit for that, but on coming back to fight boxers at the present generation I doubt if he has a good chance, he has a long lay off and I have doubt if he still has it at his age.

I would be glad to see him back again and he will be an underdog in the fight.

If he will fight Manny, I would go for Manny Pacquioa, that's regardless of the betting odds.
If he will fight Canelo, then I guess I'll bet on Mayweather as though Canelo is great but I like to take the odds for an underdog Mayweather.

However, I believe the chance of him getting back in professional boxing is very low IMO, so I would not expect that to happen.

Yes, he beat them, but he get to Manny when Pacquiao is on the decline, and has shoulder injury that time. While Canelo was still on the rise, he is inexperience to match a fighter of Mayweather's caliber. If I'm not mistaken, it was Canelo's first fight in the US. Anyway, I would agree that Floyd is a smart boxer, a genius and his ring IQ is bar none.

He value his records just like the dollars that he always wanted to get each time he fight. In terms of going back and face those two mentioned legendary boxers,
Might be thinking twice as it's not just risking his records but also his health since he's been away for quite a long time now.

Mayweather camps knows how to choose and when will be the best timing, though it's more on money matters it will be nice if
he show something interesting to start the fire again, he's good in attracting he's social media followers, who knows he might be
tweeting something to indirectly shows he's interest to choose among this two that calls for a rematch.

Same impression and never ever i would be paying up some bucks just for that PPV, if we do try to observe on how they do really make out some postponement of events due to lack of interest
or revenue then that is really not a surprising thing.People do realize that these kind of fights isnt really worth for you to pay off yet you can always see replays if you'd like to but paying
up on seeing it live is just useless.This isnt a match that its tallied nor recorded.Only Mayweather and its opponent is  really making off some money with less work.

Absolutely and one thing I don't like about these days is him comparing himself with Muhammad Ali who was a record broker, the beast in the ring and always went for the outstanding opponent while Mayweather just an opportunist in the ring.
@Stadus, I love Mayweather smartness but he only box for his own personal reason not for the fans and if he wants to prove his title once again let him fight Manny again.

Yes, I have forgotten about the shoulder injury Manny had before his last fight with Mayweather which also what makes his move slow in the ring. Thank you for pointing this out.

i dont think it would be exciting to watch Mayweather fight again. he will not change his boxing style. so same old same old. running technique, counting inside the ring, etc
just give the ring to younger generation that knows how to fight toe-to-toe. at least make your money worthwhile. maybe this is the reason why he couldnt get enough audience anymore. people are already tired of seeing the same scenario again and again
anyway, he has all the money in the world. what more he wants from this sports? more money?

What's exciting in the fight is to see him lose, but he is just good too good for running and scoring and that makes the fans getting bored in his fight. However, I'm okay with a real fight, not an exhibition fight as Mayweather is almost unbeatable in real fight, how much more in exhibition fights where he is fighting a celebrity with no boxing record.

Mayweather in all interviews and all his appearance always shows that the main thing for him is money, and everything else is just a way to make money. He's not getting any younger, so every year it's silly to expect him to fight really dangerous opponents, because Mayweather's main asset at this point in time is his winless streak. And if people are willing to pay for such fights from the field of show business with representatives of show business, then why not replenish your bank account with a new amount of money ;)

Manny was injured but he doesn't look injured, we only know after the fight, he could have cancelled that fight if he can't give his best but probably he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to make big bucks as that was the biggest payday of his career.

I agree with you, although Canelo was still undefeated that time but he is not as good as he is now.

That was 2013 over 6 years ago and Canelo has really improve now.
