    They serve no good purpose, they are rarely entertaining and they are a money grab. Thumbs down.

    No, they are bull****....this one in particular. You got Manny in there takin it easy and playin around with this piece of **** and instead of being a good sport hes gettin all upset and tryin to take Manny's head off hopin to make a name for himself. And who knows what Manny had left at this point...what if dude caught him and koed him with some nonsense because Manny is just takin it easy and puttin on a little show for the fans? Manny was too nice here. He should have turned it on and knocked that ***** out.

    Im really ambivalent. I saw Mayweather vs Paul but because it was on free when I watched it the week afterward.

    They used to do a lot of these matches in the early to mid 20th century.

    Im like whatever.

    I'm not against a retired fighter making an extra bit of cash or scratching that itch to get in the ring again without the risk of a real fight but these exhibitions don't interest me at all. They've always happened and there's nothing wrong with them per se but it's just not for me.

    IT's called Exhibition fights because it's for Show. Like it or Not...

    They're not serious, but if it makes these old legends some extra money so be it.

    Wouldn't be arsed watching myself.
