    If he wants to do this stuff, honestly, nothing wrong with it. No one thinks they are legitimate fights. He can make money doing this, more power to him. Just stay the EFF away from the regular fighters...

    Amazing how much clout he still has in the sport,at the bottom of my screen there are constant advertising vids of him in Japan and his McGregor fiasco.

    The problem with Floyd is he is finding ways to make it, but how much is he spending? When the money stops coming in, he might spend it all.

    There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again... George W Bush.

    Iwao Hakamada's in the press a lot recently, like a lot of Floyd opponents he's not in his prime but has a marketable story, has legal costs to cover etc...

    *cough trying to raise awareness of Hakamada and not being serious about this, but both things are bull*****

    Exactly. I won't ever watch it because it's embarrassing but no one in their right mind would turn down 10 mil for something that was easy for them. If someone offered you 10 million dollars to deliver a couple pizzas, I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone who would turn that down.

    People are stupid and Floyd is cashing in on it.

    I've heard it's going to be the highly touted Fook Em Yung.

    That’s true. His monthly outgoings must be enormous. Wouldn’t surprise me if he did end up broke eventually, weren’t there rumours of huge gambling debts?

    Something like that, but you know the thing is . He is playing the fans for fools. Sort of like saying, the fans are so stupid they will give me 80 million for exhibition fights. I guess if the fans don't mind, throw away the money.
