[Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - June 6

[TravelMug]

Lol, it's the money indeed and because of money, Floyd Mayweather is becoming more of a clown  .

I would not be surprised that he will be a part of another comic act after this one because it's the way of Pretty Boy to sustain his lavish lifestyle.

If Floyd Mayweather can make millions of dollars with these acts, why not. After all to be a sportsman there is a limited time period and if he can extend that and still earn hundreds of millions of dollars fighting nobody, then it is his marketing skills and we should appreciate his skills to sell the tickets so that he could still make millions .

And not it is obvious that he doesn't care for his legacy, yes he is undefeated one of the best, but I wouldn't say he is the TBE which he claim to be. So probably in the next 10-20 years, when there is a talk of who is the GOAT in boxing, his name will come up, however, him fighting exhibition for money is not a good case for him.

So it's going to be a long debate, him and Manny Pacquiao, opposition they face during their careers and what legacy they left in boxing.

Mayweather is past his prime fighting in real boxing matches that he opted for exhibition only, there are now great boxers now like Spence and Crawford, why not come back and make history again, this will not up to his legacy he just after money going for the easiest guy to beat in the ring, no way Paul could win against him.

[Fundamentals Of]

Boxing has truly become a joke because of the kind of matches it is making nowadays. We've seen Mayweather against the MMA athlete McGregor, Mayweather against the kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, vlogger Logan Paul against basketball player Nate Robinson. There was also the talked about Pacquiao against McGregor and now Mayweather against Logan Paul.

Dana White is just right in mocking the current state of the sports of boxing.

[Janation]

Am I the only one annoyed by this?

I know that he wanted to earn easy money by facing these YouTubers or whatever he wanted to fight but does it really need to be Logan Paul? KSI would be better since KSI defeated Logan Paul. Maybe he's brother Jake Paul is better? What's up with this matches? Hope they would be raising money for someone or for some institution. That would be the only way this would be rightful.

[boyptc]

Money and fame again.

Floyd will surely win this match.

Am I the only one annoyed by this?

Probably not only you. This is for the clout and they're loving doing this type of match. Not professional matches anymore but more likely for entertainment and clout.

[msarro]

It's just another money machine for both. I wouldn't be annoyed if they will donate some of the revenue to some countries or poor people that would be really good but if this is just for their own benefit. I don't think I would want to watch something like this or at least place bet.

[DeathAngel]

Why, oh why is this happening? I have a feeling this youtube guy might have paid Mayweather to promote tgis fight but it won’t happen. You know what all these social media guys are like, they earn money from page hits etc. Paying Floyd would get him loads of attention etc. It will probably get cancelled I think.

If it does happen I hope Mayweather knocks him out in 30 seconds. Nobody wants to watch youtube idiots fight.

Since this is a super-duper exhibition match in which he will be fighting an amateur, let's say a beginner since it is his official second fight, without any wins I don't think Mayweather would be getting serious in this fight. Rounds 1  or 2 maybe so people would think it is worth to watch, but nah, I don't think this would even be a fight.

[peter0425]

Let the Show begin as this is what Floyd wants,To Play for exhibition because He don't wanna risk His clean record until retirement and lifetime .

On the other hand will this Fight can accumulate the amount needed as Pot money for Floyd?because in our time now and With Mayweather playing with Paul?i can't see that this is appealing for the Boxing community.

Or this was just a Press release to Have survey and pulse from the boxing world if worth investing or to Dump the idea.

[jademaxsuy]

So mayweather wants to go back in boxing after deciding to end his boxing career with a good and clean record of no loss in his professional career. Well, why is he coming back again? Will he wanting to fight pacquiao again?

I do hope so that he will going to fight pacquaio because the fight of the century was not really became a real fight. It was the running boxing of the century.

When did these fights started exactly? I mean I know that it has been a thing for a long time but they were mostly exhibition that nobody really cared about, even in Rocky 3 if I am not wrong we saw Rocky fighting Hulk Hogan for example for exhibition, those things always happened but they were never like a big deal at all.

Nowadays we see Nate Robinson vs Lake Paul like it is a serious thing, Floyd versus Connor, very old Tyson and Jones, basically there are more exhibition matches that get more views than the real boxing matches that should get views. When was the last title fight that got this many views? 50+ year old dudes fighting got more views than any other boxing match I can remember. When did boxing became more of an entertainment over real fights?

As long it do create some hypes then you would really able to see these kind of views even though if we do love boxing or any sport then tendency on seeing these kind of exhibition fights could really happen.
We know on how business is related to this and the trend on making exhibition fight would continue if they do saw that they can make more money compared on having those official or title matches.
For now we do see lots of them are on the line.

So if you dont see these fights interesting then better to ignore but the fact that its hard to resist on not to look for the outcome even though its pretty obvious on whose gonna win
but due to interest and hype then you will really be checking it out no matter how you do hate it. 

People will stick out on things that might able to entertain them including this one.So its better to accept and just move on.

[South Park]

Unless it's for a cause I will not support this match, Floyd just wants to take advantage of this mix-match to make money again, he is spending a lot of fo money and he needs a source of money to sustain his luxurious life.

This is going to be a one-sided match something similar to the one he had with a Japanese guy, even if Paul has a weight advantage, no way he can beat or even match Mayweather's skill.

I agree, I have always thought that exhibitions like that are only worthy if it is because of a good cause, after all when we watch a sporting event more than anything we want to see the competition and see who comes on top when both parties are doing the best that they can in order to obtain victory, an exhibition does not have this because you know the two parties are holding back, in a way it is kind of interesting that an exhibition fails at trying to portray the best of the sport, so if Floyd is doing this just to earn money I'm not watching the fight.

Still a win-win situation for Floyd and this youtube guy, whatever angle we look at it. And both of them are going to be richer by this fight that's why everyone called this "just for the money" fight.

If it does happen I hope Mayweather knocks him out in 30 seconds. Nobody wants to watch youtube idiots fight.

Well he is a social media sensation, so I'm sure his followers are going to watch this one. And I doubt that Floyd will knock him out in less than a minute, they know the money involved so they will give fans what they want to make it worth every penny.

Aren't Floyd Mayweather have retired in boxing? I was curious of reading the thread because as what i have know he already files his retiration to boxing maybe a 2 - 3 years ago. Well maybe this is just a tactics of the youtube channel to attract viewers and get paid. And no doubt that their only intentions was to leave a viewers a question if it will push through or not. They just really wanted to get a profit from the viewers.

He has retired, IIRC, that was after he beat Manny Pacquiao and this fight should not add into his resume as a professional boxer because he can come back from retirement anymore, instead this is just only an exhibition fight where he will easily dominate his opponent for sure.

This is an exhibition fight more on money fight!  This YT guy just wants attention and big payday and Mayweather took the bait as he is also for the money that they will generate from this fight. Wondering if there are gamblers here who will buy the PPV of this fight and if bookies will also list this fight? It is obvious that Mayweather will win this exhibition fight.

Every fight means money for a fighter, they wouldn't fight for free. Mayweather to fight Paul seems seeing that he will make an easy money here, haven't seen him fight for a while already, so basically this is just to test his reflexes again.

Wondering if there are gamblers here who will buy the PPV of this fight and if bookies will also list this fight? It is obvious that Mayweather will win this exhibition fight.

Floyd claim that he brings money in his fight, that's why he named himself as "money", so we can expect that this will still generate money though not as big as what he get when he fought McGregor and Pacquiao.

Mayweather is past his prime fighting in real boxing matches that he opted for exhibition only, there are now great boxers now like Spence and Crawford, why not come back and make history again, this will not up to his legacy he just after money going for the easiest guy to beat in the ring, no way Paul could win against him.

This must be the most valid reason you can get but he can go after someone who has enough strength to beat him if he wants to have an outstanding exhibition match and can get huge money if he is after money. These guys are truly legend they know how they handle their money and when they still out of the battle, they can still make money.

This fight would surely benefitted Mayweather money wise. I'm seeing the usual Mayweather here focusing on getting more money rather than carving another history of his own. If he wants prestige more I think Logan would not be a best choice I think. Majority of us would think the same with this fight. Still I'll be picking Mayweather in this fight.
