"Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao 2 set for Netflix rematch, 11 years after record-setting mega-fight"



Boxing may not be dead. But damn.... it's certainly in a worse place than it was 10 years ago.

[Denilson3.0]

And there you have it folks !

The highly anticipated rematch between the highest skilled grandad’s who are nearly 50 years old. The one we've all been waiting for!!



I love Floyd as a fighter but as a person ? He went out undefeated, healthy, and wealthy. Now look at him ?… Coming back at nearly 50 to give the haters that L that they want on his record. I valued what his 0 represented and he’s going to sell that zero to pay for his retirement plan. They don’t give a fuk about giving him another $50 mill, as long as he get's that L.

Pretty damn sad how someone can make almost a billion and still be hard up for cash. When Ellerbee and Haymon were on board it seems everything was smooth as butter. But he got away from Haymon and got with the small hats and they took loans out on all his assets and drained his dumbass.

All Floyd had to do was chuck 20 million in an account and he’d earn 1mill a year interest a year.

But when you've been trying to live like you're a Saudi Prince, FOR OVER 2 DECADES and you buy tons of watches, cars, jewellery, mansions, planes and bytches. Plus man’s got a gambling problem, hard to feel sorry for a man who'd gamble life changing amounts of money for most ppl doing 50, 60, 70 grand bets on college football games like it’s nothing and he was also funding the lifestyle of all his kids who haven't seemed to amount to anything despite having a great start in life.

Boxing is full of boxers who were rich but ended up with next to nothing.

• Joe Louis ended up broke and addicted to heroin.
• Ezzard Charles was wheelchair bound and paralyzed due to his Lou Gehrig's disease.
• Sam Langford was blind, broke and practically homeless for most of his life after he retired.
• Iran Barkley and Matthew Saad Muhammad were homeless after they retired..
• Riddick Bowe sells autographed gloves at flea markets.
• Leon Spinks; the guy who beat Ali winds up working as a janitor.

Don’t get me wrong, the likes of Sugar Ray Leonard, Naseem Hamed, Carl Froch, Tyson, Klitschko's, Michael Spinks, Lennox Lewis and most famously George Foreman (RIP) with his grill have not gonna broke and are doing very fine financially but they are exceptions. Generally for most fighters they're getting plugged for a pittance, unless they're box office, and even then they've got to deal with all the pitfalls of the big time

Boxing is a really low reward, but heavy price sport for most.

But how dumb do you have to be to lose the sort of money Floyd's made in his career ? And the reason I'm focusing on Floyd not Pac-Man, Well Pac-Man wasn't doing this



And now Floyd has to comeback at 49 ? Even though his main trainer, his uncle Roger "You don't know sh*t about boxing" is dead and Floyd’s pad work is trash. He can't even extend his punches full range because his muscles have stiffened up. He's a little hunched in the shoulders too. He's aged big time and the sad thing if he get’s past Pac-Man (And that’s a big if) I can see him fighting a Ryan Garcia (I REALLY CAN) and getting knocked out and having his precious “0” go

As for the fight ? I wasn't even that excited about the fight 11 years ago as it was past it's sell buy date even then. So imagine what I think about the fight now ?

The first contest was 5 years past its sell by date. This is 2 fossils fighters desperate to sell their legacy to the highest dollar.

[Master]

They are using old footage when they are hyping this fight. Both old more like the picture above.

I wonder if the exhibition fights against Mike Tyson and Provodnikov are still going ahead?

[TIC]

who cares, lots of actual good fights going on

[Spicoli]

[zoley]

I think it will be competitive
