    Hating on a man who is making money legally is something that salty women do. A man should not have hands in another mans pockets. Retired boxers have been exhibitions like this for decades. SMH

    I would say the same for any fighter. Especially if they were getting as much as pbf is getting. Only a hater would think otherwise.

    Lol at equating bashing
    Voids circus acts to the envy of a woman. You Void fanboys really love to reach when your mancrush is criticized.

    If it's still a lot to someone who has had 1bn in career purses and who knows what else in endorsements then he's seriously ****ed up somewhere.

    I'm fine with this, really. Floyd can make more dollars and I can completely ignore this glorified sparring session. A win/win for everyone involved. No reason to be angry, many fighters on the back end of their career, or post retirement have made easy money on exhibition tours and bouts.

    Meh, who cares? More power to him. At least he's fighting someone closer in size to himself (bigger, actually). And hey, maybe he's taking these exhibitions to work the kinks out, test the ole' reflexes and see if he does have one more in him for a Pacquiao rematch we keeps saying we don't want yet everyone is going to fork money out for.

    So you probably feel the same way I do about the crap they make money from despite the fact we have no interest in the crap they make money from and nobody has to watch it.

    I don't see anything wrong with making easy money, Anyone with a brain will go for it if there's a chance , unless you are a idiot.

    You still seriously believe Floyd is in the same league as Manny for the Fighter of the Era title. Tell me When was the last time Floyd was in the ring with with a LEGITIMATE opponent ? Someone you could call a top contender ??
    A damn long time He's been in with a shot Berto, an MMA fighter making his pro boxing debut, a japanese teenager who no boxing experience. Its been YEARS!!!!
    Meanwhile Pac has been in with unbeaten champions & whupping their asses eg Thurman. Now he's eying Mikey Garcia for 2020 !!
    Give it up man Floyd doesnt come close to challenging Pac for Fighter of the Decade & Fighter of the Era. That title belongs to............
    !!!!!!!!!! Senator Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquaio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Floyd can "fight" whoever he likes & you're right we don't have to watch him BUT No way can he be considered a challenger for the Fighter of the Era !! title. He had the God Given skills to maybe earn that title but lacked the cojones & courage that he also desperately needed
    Floyd was nothing more than a very talented con man when the smoke had cleared
