    Not to mention, what it means to the young man getting the opportunity to share the ring with an ATG.

    I'm sure Bill Gates wouldn't fight for 9m. He's not a fighter. But I'm sure he would sit down and program a computer for 15 minutes in exchange for 9m.

    The Bill Gates example is different cause you are asking him to do something bizarre and out of his comfort level. Ppl are paying Floyd huge money to do an easier, faster, less stressful version of his normal job and it's gonna take about 15 minutes. Anyone would do that.

    There are going to be people who support him and people who will criticize him cause he has earned 100s of million and shouldn’t need to make these joke fights. This is like an aging actor taking cheap roles in movies cause he can’t give up the lime light. Fans on both side have every right to support or critisize the actions cause that’s what fans do.

    Me , I don’t care. Cause I won’t be watching it.

    Others suggested he would I didn't.

    Now if you want a direct correlation then fine - ask Bill Gates to appear in some sort of sideshow that many thought would embarrass his industry. Do it multiple times. For 9m a pop. Not a ****ing chance does he do it.

    Why are so many posters on here insecure about Floyd being broke and/or an attention ***** who can't let his ATG career go?

    This is pathetic and if Pacquiao was doing this he should also be criticized. I don't care what side of the fence you are on.

    I don't like Floyd but hey, if he can make some easy money why not? That is what he is all about.

    Mocking the sport? He's retired making money for appearing at events. This would be like a retired baseball player participating in a home run derby overseas or Michael Jordan going and entering a slam dunk contest in China. If people want to pay to see that why should anyone be bothered by it

    This should be a charity match, and all the revenue should go to the Trump Re-election campaign for 2020.

    True dat, floyd is so many levels above this guy and others that he won't even need to train for this outside what he is already doing, he will wake up after a late night at the club, put his gear on, throw a few combos whilst asleep, grab his cheque & go back to bed. Like most of us going to work after a big night at our job we still at after 20 years , autopilot stuff, easy work.

    Probably because they don't realize they can retire off investing their money without ever having to do another hard days work.

    Not hard work for floyd to spar a 3 round exhibition, do it sleep walking. The richer you are the more you want & the more you spend, it's all relative.
