Floyd Mayweather: “This is going to be a great night for the fans worldwide as we are bringing something special to them through sports and entertainment. I have never shied away from doing things differently throughout my career and fighting Logan Paul in this special exhibition is just another opportunity for me to do it again.”
Logan Paul: “I am always searching for the ultimate challenge and it is a dream to go toe-to-toe with the greatest boxer alive. I am ALL IN, and on February 20th, the world could witness the greatest upset in the history of sports.”
Dumb shit. Talk about making a spectacle of a sport. This is it
Everybody on this thread would do the same for a chance at making $50-$100 million. Complain to the entire world that will be tuning in Feb to see if Floyd will finally lose. I expect at least 2mil buys.
no they wont this is a real fight so who cares best thing to do IS NOT BUY
You are probably right…… But my money will not contribute.
The great white hope!
How big is Logan Paul? How is the endurance? If he’s super big and can fight dirty like Hopkins (*hitting hips, thighs, hitting back of the head, crying foul and head butt), I’d give him a chance. Since he is not, I see why Mayweather took this fight.
This is a sparring session so they won’t go all out..it’s not a sanctioned bout…
Probably a scripted sparring session taking ideas from pro wrestling.
its not a legit fight but a so called exhibition
Paul has zero chance.
Greatest boxer of all time? Yea sure kid whatever you say. Anyone who would call little Floyd the greatest boxer of all time is a straight up fool who knows nothing about boxing. Midget Floyd would have been a mediocre fighter at best during the days of Hearns Leonard and Duran. Shit even Aaron Pryor would have mauled the loud mouth clown lol
Andrew Mosacini, alright since you bring those names up how do you think it would go? And hopefully others will give their input. I say Floyd avoids the shit out of hearns, with Leonard I just don’t see his shoulder roll thing working all that well so he covers up most of the fight and loses a 12 round decision. With Duran, I think he is able to stay away run and get a decision and prior just steam rolls right through him.
thats interesting what you say about Duran considering Leonard couldnt do it in their first fight which as a true boxing fan would know is always the best fight when each fighter is 100% ready i say Duran whoops him as well at 135 and 147 and Chavez Sr would have stopped him at 130,135, and 140 just like he did his Uncle Roger Leonard and Hearns both outbox him at 147 and the great Pernell Whitaker would school his ass at 135, 140 and 147
Exactly!! Damn someone with a real IQ for boxing!!!
Just garbage
(Still hope its not true)
Will there be stipulations for mayweather? Like, having 1 arm tied behind his back? Or both feet being tied together? Or having a 10 punch maximum per round? Etc..
Or will paul have a weapon? like a sword or bat? A chain?
Floyd must be running low on funds. He will go bankrupt within five years.
Nah, that guy is a very astute business man with smart people advising him. His portfolio is very diverse and he makes money while he sleeps. Not a fan but respect his business acumen.
I seriously doubt that.
floyd still has his 400+ millions, what he doesnt have is the spotlight….and that is 100% why he is doing this. He misses being the centre of attention even if its something stupid like this.
Tyson and Holyfield earned tons of money, ran into problems with with the IRS and ended up bankrupt. The boxers who avoided going bust, lived within their means. Floyd Mayweather will end up bankrupt because of his lavish lifestyle.
If your disagree, then look boxing history and you’ll see it happened to most of the high earners. Louis, Hearns, Duran, Bowe and SR Robinson all had major financial problems. Even Ali had money problems.
When you say £400+ million, have you factored in the IRS? managers? trainers? Lawyers? And the dozens of other deductions?
If you want to know how much of that much money he actually banked, ask Buster Douglas how much of the £24 million he got for the Holyfield fight, he actually got to take home.
Fletch, how much did he keep? Im sure Don king took a cut off the top, but I’m curious as to what that number is.
are you his personal accountant?
IF ANYBODY PAYS FOR THIS GARBAGE THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE THEIR HEAD EXAMINED
Great. Why not a “fight” vs Britney Spears or Jane Fonda?
Two clowns
Yeah, put them in an empty tiger cage and feed them just bread and water!
Puhleeze!! If you consider for even a moment purchasing this farce seek mental health professional help and donate the money you would’ve spent to help those less fortunate.
Question, who needs to stroke their ego more Mayweather or Trump?
Iron beach, I think it’s a tie.
Article says “notes”. Here are my notes concerning this event.
1. I will not pay a dime to see it.
2. Mayweather must be bored in life.
3. Paul would do anything to get media exposure.
4. I am sure some sheeple will buy into this.
5. After the event, wait it out. Paul will upload the fight for free on his YouTube channel.
Scoob, your note number 5 is the one I like the most.
Thanks…It is ever so true…..
What are you guys doing? This is supposed to be an exhibition! You understand? An exhibition!
Tony “Duke” Evers
what a joke
You’re right Jake but a bigger joke would be you boxing Floyd just because you knocked out ex-NBAer Nate Robinson so spectacularly!
Mayweather’s last “exhibition” didn’t work out so well for the other guy. Paul is a cruiserweight. That might make it interesting until Floyd ices him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmrfwkDdirg
The “takes” on this thread are more interesting than this farce of an “event” . Just epidomizes the level of IQ behind some of these posts. If you thinkj (A) its a real fight (B) Paul is a legitimate athlete, world ranked proffesional boxer or (C) Are willing to give these charlatons on of your hard earned dollars…you need your head examined.
Not sure why so many get upset by this. Its nothing more than Celebrity boxing was. It has zero meaning and nobody is forced to watch. Its just two guys “fighting” that we would not normally see. Tyson and Jones in the ring was at least interesting to see. Would we complain if Lewis and W. Klitschko put on one of these shows? I have zero interest in Logan Paul, but he has a fan base of some kind. Fans of Mayweather are most likely interested in seeing him box any kind of match (Again not me). Nobody is considering this a real pure boxing event.
Haha, you are so right. Never thought of it as celebrity boxing. Danny Bonuduce kill’s em both! Donny Osmand in 2 rds vs Paul. Bieber vs The Fat Kardahsian brother would be epic..Derrick see what you started!! Lol!!!!
Yaaaaaawn!
Nobody is forcing you people to watch. Go do other stuff.
Instead of this crap make the first woman vs man professional bout! Claressa Shields against one of the Paul Brothers! Claressa weighing in at 160 and one of the Paul Brothers 180 or higher! Six 3 minute rounds should be enough! We need this generation’s Bobby Riggs vs Billie Jean King freakshow to help with the boredom brought in by the Covid! Forget the foot fighting Claressa! I have way more interest in this matchup than head-shaking Floyd coming back for a stupid exhibition!
Normally I would be giving Mayweather the business for even thinking to participate in this but I aint even trippen these youtubers are hurting the sport IMO they shouldnt be given a massive platform like this just because they have followers on social media
These guys are making more money than fighters who have worked their entire lives to get a money shot fight.
we all know Floyd is going to make this guy look like a complete bum and likely stop this kid early what ever happens I hope Paul gets beaten badly so people who follow Jake and Logan understand how serious this sport really is.
To all TRUE boxing fans, boycott this fight. Enough with the YouTubers making a mockery of the sport we love. There are fighters out there grinding to make it in this sport. If this guy truly wants to be a boxer, let him fight the leading contenders in the weight class he’s fighting at. Enough of this BS and enough of the over the hill gang stepping in the ring. I know what someone will say…if you don’t like it, then don’t watch. That’s cool, I’ll do that, but I will also let my opinion be heard.
Ashamed by these types of events..
