    Well at least it won't be $100 this time, since 2 networks are not involved in the promotion. I'd watch it at the theater anyway.

    I might, I might not. It appears some people on here have a major emotional issue with another person earning money.

    Military veteran's or ex-LEO's often go into security or protection after retirement.

    Doctor's often go into consultancy or research after retirement.

    Soccer player's often go into coaching, managerial after retirement. They often have testimonial matches or club legends matches, which people pay to see.

    So what is the problem if Pac, PBF or Amir Khan have some easier (or not so easy fights if Pac is 100%) fights on the tail end of their careers? Everyone needs an income all the way until they pass away. Furthermore, it's not my job to judge whether someone else should have the "right" to earn whatever amount they are earning. That is so dumb. Floyd is from the land of the free, and that is free to earn what he can, not from some backwater country where someone else chooses for him.

    Pac-Man has just dropped and beat up Keith Thurman, who had the best record at 147 and hits hard. Personally, I am not sure whether Pac had a real shoulder problem or not as I have not researched it enough, so I want to see the rematch no matter what people thought of the 1st fight.

    It's not Mayweather's fault he dominated the 1st fight and won 11 rounds. He steps into the ring to hit and not get hit. Smart man.

    Both PBF and Pac are legends and ATG's. They have earned it. If they both want to bolster their retirement funds a little more, then good for them.

    If Floyd is worth this kind of money, he should first be able to beat Errol Spence and Manny should beat Crawford. For the amount we are talking these have to be primetime fighters. On names alone, this is a scam. This is how boxing is failing. Because of boxing being at a low point, people are more willing to pay for a well known fighter who handpick than the younger fighters of the moment of prime years who might be worth more. Boxing has done a bad job of promoting itself in recent years. The up and coming are not marketed well.

    I heard that there won't be a rematch and that the video or tweet or whatever it is that started all of this talk is old.

    I don't think that Pac vs Floyd II will happen. Floyd said that he's already easily beaten Pac so there's no need to fight him again.

    If they actually rematched, Mayweather winning would make him the oldest WW champ lol. Even though technically he have beat up a smaller fellow old man up for the belt

    A world renowned sports surgeon (who operated on the likes of Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, and Lomachenko) confirmed the tear. And up close, you can see the 3 small circular scars on Pac's shoulder that is consistent with the surgery.
