    The first fight was 6 years after when they were supposed to fight. And honestly, the action in the ring didn't live up to the hype. Are we supposed to believe that both of these 2, a decade later, and over the age of 45 are supposed to give us a PPV caliber performance that would somehow be better than the first fight.

    It's bad enough that we're getting Mayweather vs Tyson exhibition but this is just as bad. Just reeks of desperation for money and glory.

    The only exhibition that is acceptable is Fury Usyk 3 for their retirement

    The levels Mayweather will go to for attention post-retirement are pretty wild. It's sad when legends can't just accept their time has been and gone.

    Its not about attention, its about the money. If he wanted attention then he would be do a podcast tour or something, make TV appearances.
    There are some substantiated rumors about Floyd being on his way to going broke, and he most certainly has lied about his real estate investments.

    Probably a combination of both, to be honest. He's done his fair share of TV and speaking tours, but it's not generating enough attention (or money). His fight in London against that reality star barely sold 2,500 tickets in a 20,000-seat arena. He can't handle the fact that people are talking about Crawford in the same breath as him, but yes, it wouldn't surprise me if he went broke at some stage as well.

    These 2 should have shown the same motivation to fight each other in 2009/ 2010.

    This isn't about entertainment, that's the furthest thing from their minds. This is only about one thing....

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and more $$$$$

    Right....and it's sad.....because there are a lot of idiots in the world who are willingly going to throw their $$ to see this senior citizen brawl, but then turn around and claim that younger fights like Shakur Stevenson are boring and not worth them even paying attention to.
