    Agree I’m not a fan, but at least he’s sensible to have these exhibitions rather than be like Roy Jones and fight on far too long and get badly stopped multiple times. Saw him a couple of times during his last deal with Showtime as he’s right up with the best I’ve seen live. Defensively def the best.

    Is Tony from Hollyoaks still alive? (He wouldn’t be if he had an exhibition with Triple G tbf)

    I heard the attendance was pretty low for this. What does he expect with the ticket prices as high as they were. I wonder when people will stop entertaining these exhibitions all together.

    It’s pretty shameful and also hilarious that he’s been in trouble with the IRS the whole part of his career that he’s called himself ‘Money’ Mayweather. I’ve always been surprised one of opponents has never used that to get in his head and wind him in the build up to a fight.

    Pretty soon you would think, especially for someone long retired and against non boxers.

    Yep hearing accounts online of people claiming that the promoters were running about around the O2 begging folk to attend and eventually giving away freebies.

    I watched it. It was just a pat-a-cake exhibition, no winner announced at the end.

    At one point Floyd was dancing with a ring card girl, I think Chalmers took it seriously like a genuine fight!! A few times he tried to go for it and Floyd cracked him as if it say "we're playing, but if you want to....." And he backed off and went back to bouncing on his toes and jabbing

    Money laundering scheme. They honestly can't have expected seats and the PPV to sell at those prices.

    Floyd is broke. he’s a gambling addict. you think he posts the Vegas bets he doesn’t win on instagram?

    From McGregor to Aaron Charlmers in just a few years. Every single time the profile of opponent drops slightly. There surely can't be long left for these to run.
