Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[blockman]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. already buried the chances that he might face Manny Pacquiao again even if it will be in massive demand by the community.

He mentioned that he already had a hard fight in his life and all he will do now is purely for entertainment and fun.

That's a confirmation from him and that's clearer to say so that the fans won't expect any rematch from the two. It's good to see that he's now going to enjoy his retirement.
Just like what everyone is talking about him having fun and getting quick paychecks then that's his style of business now. It's enjoyable for him and he's getting decent money from all of these fights.
Well, it's also a confirmation that we're going to see more exhibition matches from him and I guess there will be some dramas to add as it's part of making a fight noisier and many will be more interested if he's involved with it.

He's enjoying while earning a lot, Mayweather is wise he don't need to risk anything not even fighting in exhibitions he will not let anything by chance to give him a hard time or even a chance of leading his health at risk, just a money making fights that will allow the fans to see him inside the ring. There are still people who continue to support and watch his fight, just like what happened from his previous fight, a Japanese YouTube celeb that brings him to Japan and allows the people there to witness him and Asakura fighting.

Expect more for sure, as he will continue to collect paycheck in this simple and easy way.

Yeah, he's got already two matches line up and those are the very reasons why he has accepted those fights. Main reason for him is about the charity purposes and there's already a beneficiary for that.

But it's not already a secret that him and the others who are doing such fights have their share too. Take it the example of Floyd Mayweather, he's already retired in the pro boxing but not in the entire boxing as he's open into exhibition matches.

I guess these two living legends are going to live their lives fighting for the proposed exhibition matches on them.

Of course, both Mayweather and Pacquiao can pledge to donate all they want but they cannot deny that they are also taking a small fraction of what they earned for their personal use. Other than that, these two legends can still do and enjoy their passion safely nowadays without getting too much bruises while still garnering huge revenues from the fight they organized. A boxer will always be a boxer as they said, that is why even if they already retired professionally they are still fighting in a form of exhibition and can enjoy the leverage of being a legend.

It's normal.

They're all having that business mindset and the cut was a sure thing even if it's for the charity. It could be that some rich folks have already pledged for them while they'll give the whole profit of the match to the charity.

There are deals like that and these two legends will just now have to enjoy whatever they're doing and whatever they're up to. They deserve the things they have now.

I don't want to be the bearer of this news, but I just saw this article from Ring,

Colombian boxer Luis Quinones died Friday, five days after was knocked out in the eighth and final round of a bout in Barranquilla.

The junior welterweight boxer was 25 years old.

https://www.ringtv.com/644774-colombian-boxer-luis-quinones-dies-after-five-days-in-coma/

Sad to hear this kind of news specially for boxing fans. He is still young and who knows maybe he can become a champion in the future.

And it just show how brutal this sports is and every time this boxer fights, their lives is on the line For sure the one that knock him out Jose Munoz will be affected for the rest of his life and I have a feeling that he might quit boxing for good because of this unfortunate incident.

[YuginKadoya]

Anderson Silva is another easy money for Floyd Mayweather. That guy is old. He only won over Julio Chavez Jr. because the kid is having tons of issues with his life. With a referee like Kenny Bayless, even Francis Ngannou is easy money for Floyd Mayweather in a 12 round boxing match. MMA fighters with good boxing and have the energy to survive the whole 12 rounds are Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya. But Floyd Mayweahter is a very smart businessman, he won't fight Adesanya given his height, reach, average boxing skills and stamina.  

Do you know any MMA fighter that also has experience in fighting in boxing rules, I only can think of Anderson Silva, and you can not see any fair fight for Mayweather if he's only targeting YouTubers and MMA fighters the possible near MMA fighters that also has experience in fighting in a boxing rule is Anderson Silva, well I am just saying he is just the only option and you can not make Mayweather fight another legit boxer as he has declined Pacquiao's offer, well, all those MMA fighters you have brought can sure have a chance on Mayweather, especially height and reach advantage over Floyd is Israel Adesanya, but as you have said he will surely decline an offer like that so I am thinking of a viable offer that Mayweather might think of that have a chance for Mayweather to take, well Jake Paul has already made a fight against Anderson Silva on October 29,

Floyd Mayweather is now just doing exhibitions to earn money to sustain his lifestyle as in exhibition fights he will not be training so hard in the gym to get fit unlike if he will be fighting Manny where he needs to be in great shape because that would be a competitive fight and he will lost his zero if will not train hard  .

Bottomline, i think Floyd is already done/retired in boxing and will not risk his life fighting Manny so i think the latter should also do the same, fight in an exhibition fight if he misses the lime light because i don't think that he will do exhibitions for money as he has tons of it right now.

He is surely finished in a regular fight boxing I think Floyd Mayweather has already reached his limits and he already knows this to himself that is why he is declining an offer for a rematch with another retired boxer Manny Pacquaio, I think he really likes to just enjoy himself to all of his Exhibition matches and likely picking fights that he thinks he can win, the thing here is he is already retired and just wants to enjoy this opportunity being retired and happy,

Well, that's the business that he's got and he has built his foundation on it. That's how these high paying athletes go on when they're done with the professional life.
Now, with a few fights per year and they'll make big bucks until they go into a full retirement and enjoyment of what they've worked for. He's also got some businesses as per the video that I've watched on his interview.
He's really a smart and talented guy, I used to hate him before when he has beaten Pacquiao but it's all good and I'm more mature now when I've understood that boxing is a huge business.

Unfortunately, this kind of accident really happen in boxing and yes, they know the risk involved when they go inside the ring and punch each other out that they can either be killed in the ring.

I do agree that it's brutal in a sense, just like any contact sports. As for Floyd, for sure he didn't see that this kind of exhibitions will be a big hit, and so he is capitalizing on it while sports fans are willing to pay the price. Nevertheless, he has build enormous wealth already so even if he retires, he will still live comfortably and thanks to his talent.

I know Japan is a very rich country too. Japan is the third biggest economy in the world after the US and China. But I'm still wondering how they are willing to pay $20 million dollars just to see Mayweather facing a non-boxer. Or the Japanese just had a different taste when it comes to sports. I heard Rizin is very popular there and they also had superstars just like K1 before and they are paid well.

By the way, Floyd Mayweather is currently in the Philippines. He must be looking for Naruto after dispatching Sakura.

Same here, I'm really curious about that as well. Maybe $20 Million is nothing for them compared to their total earnings from that fight because as far as I know, Japan is also a huge fan when it comes to boxing and bringing a legend to Japan will generate hundreds of millions. Anyway, Mayweather has earned $30 Million for the fight because he won and PPV sales are not included in that yet.

On the other hand, yesterday I read a line that Mayweather had a done deal with Connor McGregor. Must be a hoax, but not surprising considering how these athletes talk and hype themselves.

I won't be surprised if that bout will happen next year or in December this year, both camps will earn millions again and honestly, they wouldn't let this fight slide as long as the people wanted it.

By the way, Floyd Mayweather is currently in the Philippines. He must be looking for Naruto after dispatching Sakura.

He should be careful tho because he might find an Otsutsuki in his quest instead of Naruto

[LUCKMCFLY]

He tried to do what he had to do at the same time and he won at some point in time but later on Pacman realized that he is not getting any younger and should only pick one fight at a time that's why he retired after he lost to Ugas and focused on politics as he is also busy at that time for the presidential election.

Now, that he almost got all the time in the world, and just like what we've speculated, Pacman is not coming back but on an exhibition fight.

With the losses that he's made, that also made him realize that he's aged although he can still really box well. But age does really play a factor for athletes like in boxing.

That's right! But if only Manny Pacquiao wasn't that busy enough in his last fight then I seriously bet that the outcome of the fight would be much different and Yordenis Ugas would be the one who got defeated. Pacquiao was too busy that time he is also a senator while he is also preparing to run for presidency and then he got a fight.

It is sure thing that Manny is busy on that time since he is preparing for presidency.  The thought of having to much in mind probably take toll on Manny's capability to adopt the new strategy when he learned about Ugas replacement.  After all he has been training the strategy prepared for his opponent then suddenly a new opponent is announced as a replacement with different play style.  So I guess, the pressure of deciding of running for presidency also gives a huge effect on his training.

Well I am one of the people who think that Manny lost only because he did not have enough preparation and therefore he did not prepare himself properly, for me that if Manny had not accepted the Mayweather fight, the fighter would currently be unstoppable, for me His entire decline was from that fight, which was arranged for me, so whatever you think and whatever you say, the fight was won by Mayweather because there was a lot of money involved, because a boxer goes with another to fight, to box, not to run in the ring, and I think that if they put on that fight right now, PACQUIAO would win easily, and obviously if Pacquiao wasn't letting himself be captivated by politics.

I know Japan is a very rich country too. Japan is the third biggest economy in the world after the US and China. But I'm still wondering how they are willing to pay $20 million dollars just to see Mayweather facing a non-boxer. Or the Japanese just had a different taste when it comes to sports.

We all know how cunning Floyd Mayweather is, and if he goes after a Japanese, he will, with the $20 million. where the real millions of dollars are earned, another thing is that we do not have access to that type of information, that is why Mayweather is very involved in business, and takes advantage of the fact that he has gained a lot of experience, the fact that he is traveling to all No It is because he is wasting his time in those countries, there are many businesses that he is looking for, I don't blame him, he developed a great business model for his benefit and at the same time he frees himself from taxes by doing exhibition fights, the truth is that he is very astute.

Accident happens in the ring, sadly this case is one of it.  I feel sorry to the boxer who caused the death of his fellow boxer since, as you said, it will affect his life and career.  Hopefully, Munoz can move on from this incident.

As for Floyd, for sure he didn't see that this kind of exhibitions will be a big hit, and so he is capitalizing on it while sports fans are willing to pay the price. Nevertheless, he has build enormous wealth already so even if he retires, he will still live comfortably and thanks to his talent.

It looks like Floyd is enjoying his exhibition matches, less risk bigger reward.  And he doesn't need too much dedication to the gym to shape up. Since the result may probably scripted too

All boxers know that when they enter the ring, they have one foot in the grave. It is a brutal sport. That is why they have licenses, not just because their hands are lethal weapons, but also to make sure they are fit to enter the ring. I do not think Munoz should blame himself for the death of his opponent. It could have easily happened to him also. Conditioning is very important in this sport since a knockout could also mean your death. Without proper conditioning, the body cannot endure all that blows to the body and the head.

So I try to research about deaths of boxer inside the ring,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_injuries_sustained_in_boxing

And i guess this is what the rounds was readjusted in the 80's. Before boxers fought at 15 brutal rounds but was reduced to the standard that we are using today at 12 rounds.

The infamous fight that comes to my mind is Mancini vs Duk Koo Kim who collapsed in the ring and die. Then after several months the one that referee the fight committed suicide and so is Kim's mother. And it still haunts Mancini up to this day.

The rules have been adopted a lot too to protect the boxers.

I think in the 60's they are allowed to slug it out until one of them drops but these days, when the referee sees that the fight is already one-sided and one player cannot defend itself anymore, it will be stopped and declared TKO. I think the Standing Count rule was introduced because of the death of Kim Duk-Koo.

There is lesser death these days but unfortunately, it may still happen because of the nature of this sport.

True, but boxers who enter this game have to be aware of the risk, and he has to accept the risk. That's why they need to have the right training so they will be 100% ready and they can take the punches from their opponent. Referee has a big role in boxing, they have to make sure that they are doing their job well to protect the boxers and to make it a clean fight.

Yes, it will may happen as an accident is always behind, but it's good to know that they put something to lesser the chance of repeating that kind of situation and with how the ref judge things during the fight. Everything will be in his hands while two fighters are exchanging solid blow. If he mistakenly judges his call, there might be danger from both ends.

It's just a kind of good judgement in terms of making the decisions. All will remain safe till the fight is guarded properly.

Standing count and the 12 rounds, because of Kims dead, WBC was the first to implement it after that, the other body follow as well.

It was really a big impact on the boxing world, Mancini continue to fight after that, but there are many observers who says that he lost his killer instinct and doesn't want to go for the knockout anymore.

And for Pinoys, there are also death on that list as well. But at least in recent years, the number of deaths have been reduced thanks to 12 rounds and also referee making the right decision to stop the fight when they see that something is wrong.

Did he literally died inside the ring? I mean dead on the spot?
AFAIK, boxers or fighters from different types of combat sports don't really die inside the ring, but will brought to the hospital first and then eventually die.
Fighters however already knew this might happen to them, especially when they're hit somewhere that'll put them in a comatose state.
If luckily they survive the heavy punishment all throughout their fighting career. Side effects will eventually surface once they're getting older and older.

Their conditioning is crucial and also the weigh-in is carefully checked because the overweight can throw harder punches to hurt their opponent and can be fatal as what has happened in the last decades when they don't really care about their body weight back then. Right now they are extra careful and they even cut the maximum rounds to 12 to minimize the risk of unnecessary accidents. Furthermore, the boxers are aware when their opponents are not competitive when they hurt them so much and some of them ask the referee to stop the fight.

Of course you don't have to take it literally that the die inside the ring. But most likely they have been damage already that the moment medical personnel is called, they could have been bleeding inside or there is blood clot already.

Risk is there, maybe this is one case of freak accident, that he was literally hit so hard that he got brain trauma from the amount of punches he received in that fight. Muhammad Ali is another good case, he didn't die in the ring, but we can surely see the ill effects on him.

That only shows that boxing is not for all, the sports may give you a lot of money but first you need to go through risky fights that could possibly end your life in an instant or make you disabled for the rest of your whole life. Boxing or any combat sports are always dangerous even if the respective industries put some rules on it to lessen the chances, still, it cannot take away the fact that fighters are still vulnerable with such accidents. Every time we discuss these kind of situations, I can't help but think about these two boxers, Z Gorres and Prichard Colon. Both boxers that I've mentioned is now disabled.
