Floyd should be embarrassed..

[smashup]

Mayweather won't give a fuck what anyone thinks about him, this did over 1 Million PPV buys at $49.99 and Floyd is rumoured to getting 50% of the buys on top of his fight fee.

That's serious money..... about $65 Million serious

I don't like these BS exhibition bouts at all but when guys are earning that kind of money they will obviously take it.

Logan Paul is the 3rd highest earning "Boxer" over the past 12 months behind only Canelo and Joshua

There's now serious talk of Carl Froch fighting Roy Jones Jnr and even Frank Bruno fighting Jones too.

Yep - I'd be embarrassed too for that kind of money and that's the bottom line.

I completely agree it's disgraceful and Paul has earned more now than most boxers in a career. Plain wrong.

Can we fault Floyd ?

From a boxing fan perspective almost certainly. From a personal financial point of view then sorry no you can't

Floyd always has been and still is a Genius at self marketing..... there's a reason he's nicknamed "Money"

i bet its hard to take for most boxers that Logan is making so much money for just 2 fights

there must be some benefit to boxing tho and the earning power of boxers no?

Unless your clever with what you earn at domestic level (invest it in Bricks & Mortar/Sound business) it won't last long.

Only the PPV fighters are earning big money.

I don't see any worthwhile reward in a fighter barely making British title level and getting his brains punched to fuck over a 5-8 year career, most (not all) fighters come from shit backgrounds with little education which is why so many end up skint alcoholics or junkies and seriously go off the rails.

Tough game Boxing

My hat's off to Money-May.

Fighters placing their lives on the lines with wreckless abandment, willing to go out on their shield and can't make 10 million in 20 years. Yet Floyd was offered, accepted an (EXHIBITION) match for millions- and none of us would have taken it?


I didn't forget this happened: Planned Pacquiao fight takes a hit after McGregor UFC loss.

Again guys like Pac finds himself fighting fighters (after Floyd) fought them. No way could I justify- just because it fell through doesnt mean - any pro boxer would take a chance at a mega payday with a MMA star on their rules....they dont have balls like Clarissa Shields.

Floyd talks loudest so he will reap it the most I get it- but if I hear it whispered I will hold those in the same light- to me Floyd fighting Connor or Paul is no different than when Bernard Hopkins called out Floyd...$ move. RJJ called out DLH...after everybody had whooped him- IMO it was a $ move.

Or as Money stated post exhibition presser- he fought for 10 years under Arum (I thought it was less) and said he never made those mil-paydays




When it is all said and done, only 1 or 2 fighters we could claim May didnt fight- Margarito- but we now see Floyd was offered that IMO in the same way Arum offered Crawford-Spence

Spence turned down Arum & crawford just like Floyd turned down Arum & Margarito.
Pac left Arum- because he is quiet and humble- we will never know how pissed Manny HAS to be to leave Arum
And to hear Arum bash crawford, then state - he thinks Spence beats Pac..proves Floyd knew what he was doing when he bought himself out.

He is retired. The least hit fighter. Highest connect%. Dropped once (his glove scraped the canvas) For all his faults, I give a fighter due that fought 50 times, several weight classes and never dropped? Not a flashknockdown? Rather a scraped glove due to a nerve(when he started getting chronic hand pain) causing him to fight where he could get those hand injections- no one forced him out of that comfort zone..not sure why.

So I had no issues with his exhibition- if he held Paul up from the crunching right...heck...why did we need to see a KO in an exhibition?
