    I wanna see Edward Furlong Vs Robert Patrick. Just 5 rounds of 3 minute per round fury. Winner gets to sleep on a bench of his choice anywhere on Sunset Boulevard.

    The commentary and memes alone would be priceless.

    Arnie could ref.

    I swear that shit would do tens of thousands of ppv.

    Give Furlong his credit, the only "work" he's ever had done was on his teeth. The others would all melt under the fucking lights.

    You don't need to be able to box anymore, you just need a huge social media following to capture casual morons. Same as music nowadays, no one plays instruments and musical talent is optional, but social media following is mandatory.

    Politics is the same now - there is no requirement for talent, ethics or intelligence, just a good social media account and a vibe.

    People are dumb.

    Per source, the Floyd-Manny rematch being explored as a Netflix event, 1st reported by @MikeCoppinger, would be an official fight & is being targeted for April in Las Vegas. Where it leaves Floyd-Mike Tyson exhibition recently announced but with little detail is unclear. #boxing

    0% Chance of Floyd Risking His Undefeated Record in a REAL Fight w/Pacquiao, @ This Stage of Their Careers...Exhibition? Sure, But Not an ACTUAL Fight That Could Be Held AGAINST Floyd's Perfect Record...

    if, If, IF Floyd agREED to a LEGIT Fight w/Pacquiao, it's Because He's BROKER Than Any of Us Could Imagine...

    Id be interested to see the line on such a legit fight between the 2.


    Pacquaio has obviously been facing actual boxers more recently in barrios and thurman while Mayweather jr has looked awful in exhibitions during that time

    Then again Mayweather jr will likely get back on PEDs if it ever happened

    Apparently rozier who makes 25+ mil this year and has made 160 for his career doesnt pay his taxes. Interesting that it was jordan who paid him his last big contract

    Jordan can gamble all he wants, because with of his sneakers he has an income stream that's not gonna dry up in his lifetime.

    Degenerates like Floyd and Pac dont have Jordan money. Hence why they need this renatch.

    Former Jordan brand athlete Mayweather jr. Until he found out what a degenerate gambler the guy was and walked!

    How much does it sell? Annoyingly I think it does well, but not THAT well.

    Boxing is still a HUGE sport, despite what haters say (usually MMGay fanboys). The general public will always tune in to see big fights, the sport just shoots itself in the foot by making those "big fights" gimmicks 90% of the time.

    Yeah but the gimmicks are becoming too frequent and then when a good fight gets made you got shitty refereeing or a bad decision a la Cardio Wobbly Vs Smokeless Joe Parker last week.

    I prefer watching fights alone, on an exercise bike, scorning the commentary and posting on here between rounds to the acclaim of my fellow fightbeaters who rejoice in my presence.

    Cabio Fraudley has gone further than he ought to but I just can't shake the feeling that someone is gonna absolutely fuck him up. Usyk and Moses definitely do, but I think a guy like Kayabel could too. I think he'd probably beat Dubois and AJ at this point though.
