Fanmio CEO Fanmio Solomon Engel has finally confirmed that the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul PPV exhibition boxing match will not be happening on February 20. “After an absolutely tremendous response to the fight announcement, we’re hoping to announce a new date very soon along with some new exciting details,” Engel said in the statement to various outlets.
As of this writing, the Fanmio is still selling subscriptions for the original date. Pricing for the webcast goes on sliding scale with the price increasing to $79.99 for the last ten days prior to the fight. By contrast, the recent Tyson-Jones exhibition was $49.99.
hopefully postponed indefinitely
certainly not necessary or a must see
but definitely crap
lmao, people said the same about Mayweather-Connor. And Mayweather reportedly earned $280 million from the fight and McGregor earning $130 million. Apparently, these crossover fights makes sense to a lot of people despite all the pushback from diehard fans.
From a business perspective, if it makes dollars it makes sense. We’ll have to wait and see, but I doubt the final numbers will look like crap.
Yep NJ, money certainly talks. Sucks for the boxers who have dedicated their lives to the sport only to watch the Paul Brother surpass them, at least in terms of having the spotlight. If you have two guys with enough YouTube followers/fans who want to fight each other, there will always be that curiosity factor. There was a lot of talk among coworkers and people I know about Paul’s KO of Nate Robinson….more talk than of any fight I can think of between two actual boxers. It doesn’t appear this will be going away anytime soon. Whatever sells. You just know that one of the brilliant minds over at the WBA will come up with some kind of celebrity belt.
In addition to the $280 million Floyd made against Conor, he also made $9 million for his two minutes of work against that Japanese Kickboxer. Wonder what he’ll end up making for the Paul exhibition?
🙂 great Floyd was making money. i am happy for him.. but,
i did find it hilarious that Floyd came in so out of shape for a 3 round exhibition, that he felt it necessary to stop early and embarrass the 20 year old japanese kickboxer that wasnt even good enough to win a regional golden gloves tournament. Floyd looked like shit, no show of skills at all. btw, it did Not go over that well or that big in Japan. i was there in on vacation at the time
Little Floyd needs to find a hobby already, guy is an attention whore who will do anything to stay relevant, guy must really need $$ all that money he brags about winning making a large wager on a game but never says a word when he loses at the sports-book. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Who in their right mind would want to watch this let alone pay for it? You’d have to pay me to watch this crap.
Get a life already Floyd.
How about if they cancel this FOREVER!!
Yes, I refuse to pay a dime to watch any of this. That’s why You Tube exist for free replays when you have nothing else to do in your day. Floyd would make more money if he would take a fall and get beat by this guy and the world would tune in for a rematch; in big numbers!
One not so distant day, a new branch in the sport of boxing will be recognized and widely accepted: Boxing slideshows, as we got used to admire the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS. Mayweather found a way to earn good money upon his skills and name, without going through the sacrifices the real sport of boxing demand ( diets,long days in the gym and so on). I see nothing wrong on this, as long the contestants maintain the decency of not saying is a real fight in onder to sale it, like happened in two events Mayweather was involved (Pacquiao and McGregor). Honestly and decency are main ingredients to be believed and respected.
How cool would it have been seeing this exhibition during super bowl halftime?
Yes, big numbers watching.
I can’t wait to watch this on youtube 30 minutes after is happens.
*it happens
OH NO!!!! I was totally looking forward to this! Said no one ever.
nobody want to see these BS exhibitions involving fake fighters
It sounds like they’re having trouble selling the match, otherwise why delay it?
“An absolutely tremendous response,” huh?
Was that response people talking about what a shitty fight this would be and how anyone wanting to charge more than seventy bucks for a mismatch during a time where so many people are out of work is a shameless crook?
Mayweather ducking the first real fight of his career. McGregor was kicking his ass until the referee called a halt early when Connor was playing rope a dope.
I’ve been watching boxing a lot since the McGregor v Mayweather fight and haven’t seen a threat to Money mans crown like I have in Paul. These bros can fight for real – all these boxers are pretenders trying to win by points – the Paul boys get their opponents out of there and remind me of the legends of the sport like McGRegor. Saw some highlights of other may man fights and he would lose to an average corporate fighter if he had the guts to ever come back. Time waits for no man – Paul should fight Tyson to get the belt and sit on top of the boxing food chain until McGregor comes back from his injury.
