Mayweather vs Paul

[CornFed Gregger]

Any boxing fans believe this is real? I’ve lost all faith in society since ppl believe this is anything other than Rocky vs Thunderlips

I don't know about "real" - it was an exhibition. Paul was happy to get through the 8 rounds, Mayweather was there for the $.

There was a massive gap in age, size and height between the two. I actually thought Paul did well for a guy with basically no experience. He was too big for Mayweather to get his shots off on. Mayweather was there for the payday, but he was 50lbs lighter, 6 inches shorter and 18 years older than Paul. He's still quick, slippery and a top notch boxing technician though, even at 44 yrs old.

Would never pay to watch it in a million years, but there are easy ways to watch most any sporting even in high quality for free anymore. I think the only PPV I have ever dished out for was Husker games back when they were stupid PPV. Thank god those days are over, although we were a better team at the time, so I'd trade a few bucks per game if it meant we could start winning 9 games a year again.

Yea it was two guys sparring. Logan Paul didn’t have the stamina to actually go 8 rounds & was allowed to clinch for as long as possible, it was like watching 2 guys in the UFC grapple.

I’ll say about the size advantage, doesn’t mean squat when one of the best defensive fighters of all-time can easily read him telegraph punches. Floyd could have countered like he has with the best & never once did he go to the Philly shell, just turtle shelled, covering his head like he was overwhelmed by a slower amateur.

Yup, agree that Floyd held a ton back. The bigger guy was making it a grappling contest. They were both there for the money. Probably had a gentlemen's agreement on the outcome when signing the papers for the contract. They both got paid, especially Mayweather, as he always does.

Not sure why anyone expected more than what they saw. It’s a YouTuber vs a 44 year old retired fighter.

Did it do more PPV buys than all of Crawford's fights combined?

Lol I read it didn’t perform well but I won’t be surprised if Floyd still gets 25mil
