    It seems like everybody wants a piece of floyd even at the age of 40? has any other fighter been called out as much at this guy at the age of 40?

    Because he doesn't knock people out and they get paid 5 million?

    Jess even I call him out.

    Not many people were calling out a 20 year old Mike Tyson even though they got 10 million 25 years ago.

    Lewis got called out a lot post retirement but you're right Floyd is incredibly sought after for a man of his age.

    Its pretty amazing if you ask me, i have never seen it on to the same extent with any other fighter. To still be able to give people million dollar career high pay days, while being retired at 40 is incredible.

    These guys know a fight with Mayweather brings the best bang for the buck - millions to face a guy who is removed from his prime. People forget boxing is a business and these fighters want to maximize their paydays.

    Yeah, they think they can become legendary by taking his zero post prime for huge money without any real risk of being KO'd. You can see why it appeals such.

    One night in the ring with Floyd and you're set for life if you invest and spend wisely.

    That's another thing, People think they will become ATG's if they beat floyd, What age does he need to reach before people will consider him too old for that ?

    I'd say he's too old now and he knows it which is why he's taken the McFarce fight.

    Um, kind of by default as Floyd is the only 40 year old in the game who's a big name, a draw, and active (for McGregor). Silly ass thread by a silly, silly poster.

    No because no one else brings the sweepstakes like he does... They only call him out to get that fat check cause eveery single fighter that lands a fight with Floyd would be getting his biggest payday no matter what..
