Well, for me, Floyd Mayweather is not such an iconic boxer, I am sure that many know well who Pacquiao is before him, I cannot deny, he is a very intelligent boxer, he knows how to handle fights in a totally technical area very well, but sometimes Sometimes that is something that is boring, we as fans want to see more action, we want to see technique and we want to see what they are capable of, that they reach the limit, maybe things are getting more demanding for this type of boxer.
I know what you feel and that vibe is the same with many boxing fans. It's true that he's a living legend and he's got a good and clean record but he's not really an icon to many. I don't know maybe that feels about how he's interacting with fans and the charisma isn't just the same with other real icons that we can say like Pacquiao, Marquez, and other boxers that have been knowing for the past years. And it even made his reputation lower when he's doing some exhibition matches as it's intended to make money just as his alias.
many boxing fans want real toe-to-toe fight inside the ring. and mayweather's technique is not like that, he is indeed on the technicalities wherein as a boxing audience, you will see him running away from his opponent but only care for the points he will make. i also don't like this kind of boxer. much better if he will give a real fight just like pacquiao. every boxing fan has their own take on this matter. but imo, a true legend is not afraid of having a loss in his record.
It's not that I'm a very radical fan, what happens is that when the fights are merely technical they go to the terrain of boredom and that partly turns into anger, because they are fights that one looks forward to and suddenly comes out with that, so it's not worth it, they don't give the show, unlike Pacquiao in his time, he was always looking for a fight, he wasn't afraid of receiving the blows, he knew that if he gave just 1 blow it would be very decisive, and that's what that excites, boxing is for people who are not afraid of blows, but who really want to succeed.
And that is the bad side of boxing and negotiations, the B-side will also take the small pie and the disadvantage unless he pulls an upset win. And in this case, Garcia will be the obvious underdog, but for sure he will be a live underdog as what they say, meaning he has a good chance to win as well.
"In general", that's not a considered bad side for me but rather just makes sense to happen especially weighing in terms of popularity or maybe tickets and PPV sales history. Referring to the mega bout between Davis and Garcia, I do think that anything related to the purse split isn't really a big concern. There is just part of the contract, outside the purse split concerns, that Garcia didn't want especially making some adjustments just for the fight to happen.
Regardless though, the boxing community should be thankful to both for pushing their fight and not taking another bout with other boxers even if
"their surroundings" are telling them not to do that instead. One of the anticipated big fights this year will now be witnessed.
It's the negotiation that take place whatever behind the contract are both being signed by two parties, I can understand if there's some edge for Davis in terms of the amount that his camp will be getting in this upcoming fight, it's understandable and Garcia's camp sign the deal meaning to say that they are accepting that negotiations.
In terms of upset, we can expect that, as Garcia also has that capability to KO, if Davis will be careless and not going to take the fight seriously.
I mean, if Garcia will be given that chance to throw solid combinations, then Davis will surely kiss the floor.
Well, that is what Boxers always have in their favor,how They can do in their training and depending on that performance is how you can see in the fight how they do it,if it is good or bad,for me the type of training that they take,in the case of Garcia of course he can make a good Knockout, I think Davis must consider that he can do it and must take his precautions and his good strategy,in the case of Davis he is a Boxer who has a lot of experience, and Obviously he can do a great Knockout, but I am Trust that these Fighters from round 1 will give it their all.
