    I love Floyd to death but the fact he won’t with any other promoter and the fact he has the audacity to have exhibition fights near tank fights really is making not like floyd

    AND MONEY ISNT EVERYTHING

    Floyd is a great fighter but a terrible promoter.

    For a person like Floyd, money is everything. It's his only measure of success that the entire world can see so he'll prostitute himself for even a few million dollars despite telling everyone about his "smart investments" (strip clubs and gambling habit).

    Floyd the fighter was awesome.

    Floyd the person is cringey and embarrasing.

    The same can be said about De La Hoya.

    They are destroying the great fights.
    At least in Floyd’s case he is staying true to his $aftey 1st fighting style with that same approach to Tank’s Opponents & preserving his 0.

    Oscar on the other hand $witched up from taking chances as a fighter to Protecting his fighter’s 0s at our costs.

    greed is a mutherFugger,
    it’s not like they are hurting for money.
    They are both set for life.

    Love him to death? Isn't that a bit much?

    Can't blame Floyd especially when the people are enjoying watching him fight.

    Rereading your post prior to posting will be helpful in the future.

    Floyd may have hurt the sport more than any person in history while he was a fighter, he will continue to have a negative impact as long as he is in the game.

    Floyd is a trash protected hype job. Anyone who claims he's a great or TBE is a casual with a limited understanding of boxing and extremely naive

    Yes, but no more than any other promoter

    All promoters are bums who try to keep everything in-house
