    Floyd says he is making more for an exhibition bout of 3 rounds then Fury and Wilder got combined. Why are the Japanese paying him so much for a fight that doesnt even count. Now Floyd and Wilder got a beef, because Floyd bet against him and it was a draw.

    If Floyd gets knocked out, trust me that'll be talked about, regardless of if it's an exhibition. Regarding money, then of course Floyd gets paid a lot. He's the highest paid boxer, so he's not going to take peanuts.

    Yep. There are a lot more WWE type fans in the world as actual boxing fans.
    Even that youtuber boxing match made more as most top quality boxers made in their entire careers.

    Next up, Floyd vs a kangaroo. Reduced price $79,99 PPV ($ 89,99 in HD)

    Highest paid circus performer.
    I never pay for a fight so I wouldn’t care how much he will get.
    But I enjoyed Fury-Wilder fight. Intriguing and drama filled and certainly memorable.
    I doubt I get that about this exhibition match.

    That is all it is to him. Money and saying he is undefeated. His legacy is not that great.

    :lol: LOL at Floyd vs a kangaroo.

    3 rounds is pretty short for a boxing match. It would be more interesting if it were a longer duration. This guy probably wouldn't gas like Conor did, and I bet Floyd insisted on this being only 3 rounds.

    Guy's a ****ing weirdo pre-ocupied by any attention or pay check received by other fighters, very insecure and petty.

    Floyd is just sad these days. Can't he go polish his Bugatti collection or something instead of annoying us with these circus bouts?

    Floyd is a very small insecure man, never lets fighters under his wing do well and is willing to destroy their careers and lives just so that they don't get the spotlight. Will always say or do something to remain in the news

    Anyone who knows anything about Floyd already knows this. He’s obsessed with making sure everyone knows how much money he can make in one night, it’s screams of insecurity.

    Why would I or anyone else care how much money he can scam?

    What I remember most about Mayweather is that he boxed like an absolute fairy, hand picked all his opponents, judges and refs, and put on some of the worst, most boring fights in living memory.

    Good riddance, boxing is much better off without him.

    Boxing is actually better off without him. Reckon its went in a different direction since he's been gone. He had a lot of guys obsessed with his...maximum money minimum risk blueprint.

    Now guys seem more willing to take the risks. A lot of them are already millionaires as it is. It is time to roll the dice. Guys appear to be doing that more than ever it seems. I think Eddie hearns had a lot to do with that. He's hardly reinvented the wheel but he has pretty much reminded guys if there's a market for a fight it can always be made.

    Floyd can run off with his money reminding guys he's the greatest of all time every five minutes all he wants. He,ll never really be remembered fondly for boxing not like guys like fury will be. Even wilder fair enough he's cherry picked his way to the top but now he's here....Ortiz and fury we,re great fights. He,s no longer derided to the extent he once was.

    He may well be, but just like boxing, there's levels in spending. He spends more than the pair of them have earned in their careers gambling in one year.
