The general boxing thread

Tenshin crying at the end like he thought he had a chance loooool

[Marsbar100]

Still an elite level robbery tbf

Pissing myself, he made 70m to toy with a child sized amateur boxer for a couple minutes.

Man was actually smiling in there.

Loooooooooooool

Go on Floyd!

Keep making the power moves, keep the haters hating.

This really sums it all up, there is nothing honourable about this at all, certainly not funny.

Yes fair play to Mayweather for making £9m or whatever it is for ripping of the millennial's but its a sad state of affairs, there is no substance anymore just "self promotion" hype jobs, Mayweather is just preying on peoples stupidity, good for him but again its nothing to celebrate, its like making fun of retards imo.

I didn't watch this, didn't even know it was on and I won't watch it, its embarrassing.

I'd rather watch a competitive Amateur championship bout, in fact I'd rather watch my own fights, more heart and competitiveness in my fights that I can tell you.

You're making it sound like it was some amoral scam.

Everyone knew what it was, Christ it was a scheduled 3 round exhibition!

How serious do you think a 3 round fight could be?

If anyone was expecting a competitive fight, that's their fault for being stupid or not knowing anything about the sport.

It was simply a mutually beneficial exercise where Rizin used Floyd's name to promote their company and rising star, and Floyd used them to make a quick $10 million.

Its not an amoral scam at all ........... unless you paid to watch that sh*t but like I said, that's not on Floyd, that's on you, scammed yourself if anything.

I just can't believe people would even bother watching it, what for?

[Marsbar100]

Anyway Pacquiao Vs broner is going to be on ITV 4, it will be amazing if al haymon can bring high level boxing for free on a consistent basis.

Khan is fighting Crawford on April 20th.

This will be ugly.

[Sydney Gooner]

According to Dillian Whyte, Joshua is fighting Miller at MSG.

I don't like it either if it happens and prefer the AJ-Whyte rematch instead but I can see why they would do that fight for American exposure.

[Marsbar100]

Looks like they ducked Whyte and they want to build American exposure for a wilder fight

[DiamondGooner]

This is not confirmed.

It could easily be a tactic from Whyte to pressure Joshua, but some of you fall for it so readily as it meets your agenda criteria.

However saying that it could happen, its a an easy appearance in America while Joshua waits for Fury vs Wilder and its a double pay day for Hearn which is why he might push for it.

However ......... before VaVa keeps laughing away, lets not forget Hearn himself has said he's been speaking with Fury ........ and that unlike the Miller thing is not just rumour.

That's probably what it is. With the potential Khan-Brook fight being at Wembley being scrapped due to Khan fighting Crawford it has to AJ-Whyte 2 on the 13th of April. I think Hearn is trying to get the WBO to call it a mandatory.

[Marsbar100]

Fair point, Joshua has to take the Whyte f**k otherwise it's a massive duck

[Va-Va-Voom]

Why would Whyte need to pressure Joshua?

He would only need to do this if Joshua was actually considering fighting Miller- which is a joke if he is.

Also lol if you think there is any chance Hearn would have Joshua fight Fury before Wilder.

Wilder is a winnable fight for Joshua, Hearn just said he is the easiest opponent.

Fury is a nightmare for Joshua, there is no way they seek out that fight.
