Yeah but Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong weren't making no 60 million dollars a fight, either. If they could get paid that much per fight, do you think they'd still be fighting that much? Hell nah.
Point being, put mayeather in that erra and he would get busted up. Put Armstrong in todays erra and still clean out the divisions with endorcement too.
Who's going to bust Mayweather up? One of the many club fighters that these guys padded their records with?
Go look at the records of any of these guys: you'll see them fight guys with losing records, less than 10 fights, ect.
Floyd wouldn't be allowed to fight that kind of competition today because the Athletic Commissions wouldn't allow it because it wouldn't be a fair fight.
