    Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse for boxing. And, it will probably generate more income than most legitimate fights. The fact that garbage like this can get the green light makes me very skeptical that Canelo-Crawford will be on the level.

    I don't get the attraction of exhibitions. You literally can't even hurt the opponent.

    He will move better than Jake Paul and Tyson doesn't even have the reach advantage. Mike is too old

    Yeah, boxing is a sideshow now. A legitimate mockery of the sport

    The public/casuals dont know that. And for retired fighters its an 8 digit paycheck. I get it for retired fighters - I D O N T get it for active (supposed) champions coming off a loss and trying to avoid a rematch.

    What's it going to exhibit ?

    That Tyson is an old man and Mayweather is as unsufferable as ever ?

    Whoever buys this needs a word with themself

    Floyd should have rematched Pacquiao instead of fighting grandpa Mike.
    Mayweather’s history suggests he’ll only agree if the situation and terms heavily favor him. You could not be a TBE if this is how you play.

    They are ****ing up the sport with this ****. What if Ali and Big George did an exhibition rematch in MSG on ABC Wide World Of Sports the day before Mike won his first championship? Marvelous Marvin rematches Sugar Ray in Vegas the day that Oscar decided to let Floyd have a shot?

    I'm a stone capitalist, but cmon, boys, cant you just stfu and fade away like the legends that you are? Let the kids in. Can't believe you need the dough...

    This is more like if Ali did an exhibition with Nicolino Locche.

    I'm agreeing with the sentiment of what you said, and saying it's actually even MORE ridiculous than your premise. :thumbsup:
