    Someone will catch mayweather at some point. Not sure this is the guy to do it but deji gave him a black eye.

    Logan Paul nearly had him as well but he won't give away that size difference again. It will end in tears for Floyd at some point.

    Just how much money does Floyd actually owe the taxman that's got him doing these sideshows

    Poor, very very poor. Surely there's some ex pro's around his age that would have been better choices?
    Ricky Hatton, Junior Witter, Amir Khan and the likes.

    It's weird to think that a guy who is earning millions every few months for easy work is skint.

    It's like seeing Warren Buffet and assuming he's skint because he's still investing in his 80s. Maybe rich guys just like getting richer?

    This is a bit odd though. The Geordie shore guy isn’t exactly a big name and I can’t see it selling.

    I can see why he fought McGregor, Logan Paul or the first Japanese kick-boxer guy.. but this is a clear drop in standards and a far lower profile.

    Just watched an interview with this Aaron chalmers,not really heard of him before bar the odd mention of him being trained by Adam booth
    To be fair he comes across as a nice fella,knows his level etc
    Can't blame him at all for taking the fight,what person on this forum if we're in his shoes wouldn't? It's a total mismatch,he's going to be beaten,he knows it,but it pays extremely well,he's in with arguably one of the greatest of all times,how many people can say that,I won't watch but good luck to him

    Look at it this way. How many sportsmrn in the world are putting their bodies on the line, pushing themselves all year round for an annual salary less than what Floyd will make in one night here?

    Who would knock back 7 figures for something as easy as this for FMJ? No one.

    That’s great and all but I don’t see anyone blaming him for taking the fight?
