Is Floyd Mayweather an ATG?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

As media grows and develops, I'm sure in the future there will be additional revenue streams that add to a fighters luster and personal wealth.

Well I certainly hope so, and I hope that more fighters start following the Floyd Mayweather blueprint and becoming their own bosses, promoting themselves, cutting out the Don King's and Bob Arum's of the world, and start taking home the lion's share of the money they generate.

Definitely. 100% agree.

Won't it be weird though, in the distant future, if we find ourselves as old men defending the fighters of our generation over the next lot because theirs make way more money and get more views on YouTube and have more followers on Twitter in addition to being bigger stronger better athletes.

Fuck it, I'd probably be the first to argue how they don't make em as though as they used to

Every generation says that, and I hope I never get to that point.

The truth is there were cowards and brave men in every generation, just as there were great fighters, good fighters, mediocre fighters and bums in every generation.

Some people say the boxers were generally "tougher" back in "the day", but I've seen so many warriors in the ring in recent years that I really don't buy into that nonsense.

I think Floyd will be more appreciated as the years and decades go by, because there will be future "superstars" that come around and lose in fights that they were supposed to win, and I think then people will realize that staying undefeated for 20 years in the boxing game is not as easy as they thought.
