the Paul brothers have to be some kind of government experiment to figure out something about humanity, but what it is I can't say.

so I'll take the easy way out and blame zoomers for this mess.

For money lol, you can say the something about the McGregor fight, why would Floyd bother? It's always going to be money for him lol.
Yup, and with Jake Paul it's going to be light work. Easiest payday of his life. Basically free money with minimal effort to prepare for the fight. If your in May's shoes, who wouldn't resist a chance like this.

He HAS money. More money than what this fight will provide if you go by what this thread believes.

But if this is the only way he can get money in his post career, things must be looking catastrophically bad for Mayweather. Shit, even Tyson will fuck with Tony Khan, this mess is embarrassing.

By all merits, this is the easiest fight of his career and it's money on the table. If someone offered Ronaldo a bunch of millions for playing in a sunday league, he'd be a fool not to take the money and laugh his way to the bank.

For the 50-0 crowd, the record only counts for sanctioned fights, this fight cannot be sanctioned because of the weight difference. Floyd fought kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018, and that fight did not count towards his record.

I think Floyd pissed - that new hairline wasn't ready for primetime yet! The worst thing he could do was take the hat lol.

It's defiently not a work but has turned into a great angle to sell an exhibition fight on ppv.

Never seen Mayweather so angry. He ain't faking that.

Halfway through, the boxing match should turn into a Money in the Bank match with the hat dangling 20 feet up.

isn't floyd bad with spelling / spending money as well?

I wonder if he might be vulnerable to taking a dive.

While both are POS humans, Floyd is far worse. The guy had an affair with his best friends wife then watched their murder-suicide on FaceTime.

Nobody has ever really shown any evidence to suggest that Mayweather is going broke. Yes he spends money on lavish stuff but that doesn't mean his going broke.

I think him being black and haters actually wanting him to go broke is why these rumours persist.

If he was going broke he wouldn't fight Jake Paul. Coming out of retirement to fight Canelo again or fight Crawford or Errol Spence would be huge money fights.

Little prick Jake steals the spotlight from his asshole brother, then gets rocked by a guy who shows him what reality is like when he tries to go up against a real fighter.

I might not like Mayweather as a person but man, all of that felt good to watch.
Even if this is all a carnie show and a total work.

Floyd is the draw and the promoter. Why would he even need to take a "dive"? He's going to make more money off this thing than anybody.

This didn't hype the Logan Paul fight at all. Quite the opposite. Everyone knows the script they're going for now.

Man, one or both of these Paul brothers are going to get shot by someone one day, and I am going to laugh.

Even I could tell this was a work but even still. Jake attempting to talk shit feels so awkward when it's from him. "Got your hat ha ha ha". Like how old is this dude lol.

doesn't matter if it's constantly brought up every time floyd name is mentioned (if he loses)

I'm pretty sure the people saying Floyd will take a dive are confusing Logan with Jake and are unaware Logan Paul is literally 0-1 and got his ass kicked by a streamer.

Also it's not Jake, Logan has already lost before and sucks at boxing. Kinda weird that Floyd would fight this one but the plan is probably to get them both.

This might not mean much in the end but hey it's something to watch and puts an end into both of the brothers in boxing, good.

People saying it's a stunt don't know Mayweather or the mentality he comes from. He's not above carnie bullshit, but he's not gonna sign on for carnie bullshit in which he is publicly and personally disrespected. Doesn't have the ego for it.

This goes for the suggestion he's gonna throw the fight as well.

Honestly if anyone intentionally watches either Paul brother or likes them... I instantly heavily dislike the person. It's ridiculous

Did Mayweather already run out of cash or something? Why even wasting his time to give the fool spotlight?

I remember when Khabib and Conor were selling their fight, and then Conor started making fun of Khabib's faith, and calling his coach a terrorist and shit. When the fight started and Khabib took it to the ground he was beating on Conor with anger, and repeating the phrase "let's talk now" again and again. When the bell rang for the end of the round, Conor looked like a kid getting sent to his room.

Yep. You can bullshit and build hype, but every fighter's got a line and that was well over Floyd's. Paul's only saving grace is that it's his brother who did it and not him.
