I love Floyd Mayweather but I have to call a spade a spade. Although no one wanted to see it, pulling out of this second fight with Manny Pacquiao is going to do tremendous damage to his legacy. He's ultimately going to be remembered as a coward who never truly wanted to take risks and simply wanted to take the money and run.

I've always defended the second half of his career given the Cold War between Top Rank & Golden Boy/PBC and the tendency for promotional companies to keep things in-house but at this point, he's simply giving his detractors more fuel for the fire in their beliefs about him.

if floyd retired and doesnt want to return professionally at 49, how does that make him a coward? lol

He also already whooped this guy 10 years ago when it actually meant something

It's more about the optics of it.

A press release comes out saying he's returning from retirement, Netflix issues a press release for the fight, Manny is hype about and the first words we hear from you is that it's an exhibition. It just looks bad and makes him look cowardly, like he's afraid to risk his 0. No one wants to see this fight but the only things drawing us to this fight is it being a REAL FIGHT.

I just saw the Fight Hype video of Ben breaking down why the fight isn't happening and the shadiness going on so that changes things but we can't deny that without knowing the background story, everything surrounding this fight makes Floyd look BAD.

These guys are old and washed up. It might be entertaining but this fight means nothing to either legacy win or lose. Their legacies are already set.

I didn't care for this fight to begin with but I read this fool Floyd signed THREE contracts, took a cash advance on the fight purse AND then undermined the promotion by lying about the fight being an exhibition...
You cannot make this shyt up... :heh:

This guy in this video is saying Floyd took on three fights just to take out more loans from banks:

He either scamming or he legit can't read like 50 said all those years ago...

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and go with what 50 said...

This dude can't read and legit thought all three contracts he signed were exhibition fights...
