    ego? Maintaining an image? If hes legit getting that it sounds like an option is that its some sort of money laundering situation with the promoter

    Not a Floyd fan but if he can make money doing this why not? He doesn't care what people think of him or his "legacy". I do like how the novice gave him a shiner though

    "Global titans" has been around less than a year and starts throwing all these millions around (if true), their website is a joke, they just seem shady.

    Most of those areas with Billions of dollars to spare are shady. Just look at a place like Fight Island

    Mayweather I don't believe but I do believe the other guys, they're ****ing loaded.

    Yea reading some articles about global titans they sound like they are going to run themselves into the ground or they are laundering. They want to present a "less aggressive" form of boxing that a family of 4 would want to see. They also want to create boxing academies, orphanages, they want people to pay their ppv with their own crypto etc. It just sounds like a bunch of buzz words that mean nothing when I look into them. Then the ppv pricing and what they say they are paying their fighters does not seem in the realm of realistic, unless that last exhibition did like 700k buys. Its crazy

    I have no idea but I know they also helped with the casino building in the US way back when. They also keep their finances close to their chest, kind of like the Swiss, or the Fertita Brothers who basically run all of MMA behind the scenes, yet no one knows them

    I have no idea, I don't work for them, all I know is that area is one of the richest on Earth and makes Floyd's bankroll look like my 5th grade allowance.

    Mayweather is smart in the way he goes about his business making fights.

    "Currency over legacy" that quote from Mayweather summarizes his career in boxing in a nutshell. He say's it to show everyone how smart he is as a businessman. He has that ego like Donald Trump where he likes to get credited for smart business dealings.
    I have no problem with that. The only problem I may have is Mayweather getting upset and going on a hissy fit when others dont rate him in the echelons with the likes of Ali, Duran, Leonard, Chavez, and some others.
    When Mayweather himself say's he's guided his own career with the blueprint of least risk for the most money, that pretty much tells you to factor that in when you rate his legacy, and I personally do that. I dont rate Mayweather with the likes of Ali, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Chavez, Holyfield, etc............These fighters I feel balanced more their risk taking with putting and weighing legacy fights into the equation way more than Mayweather did.

    I dont give a **** if Mayweather cares or not, I'm just throwing reality out there to those who have this notion that Mayweather even sniffs GOAT category.
