Do you know any MMA fighter that also has experience in fighting in boxing rules, I only can think of Anderson Silva, and you can not see any fair fight for Mayweather if he's only targeting YouTubers and MMA fighters the possible near MMA fighters that also has experience in fighting in a boxing rule is Anderson Silva, well I am just saying he is just the only option and you can not make Mayweather fight another legit boxer as he has declined Pacquiao's offer, well, all those MMA fighters you have brought can sure have a chance on Mayweather, especially height and reach advantage over Floyd is Israel Adesanya, but as you have said he will surely decline an offer like that so I am thinking of a viable offer that Mayweather might think of that have a chance for Mayweather to take, well Jake Paul has already made a fight against Anderson Silva on October 29,


He is surely finished in a regular fight boxing I think Floyd Mayweather has already reached his limits and he already knows this to himself that is why he is declining an offer for a rematch with another retired boxer Manny Pacquaio, I think he really likes to just enjoy himself to all of his Exhibition matches and likely picking fights that he thinks he can win, the thing here is he is already retired and just wants to enjoy this opportunity being retired and happy,

I don't want to be the bearer of this news, but I just saw this article from Ring,

Sad to hear this kind of news specially for boxing fans. He is still young and who knows maybe he can become a champion in the future.

And it just show how brutal this sports is and every time this boxer fights, their lives is on the line For sure the one that knock him out Jose Munoz will be affected for the rest of his life and I have a feeling that he might quit boxing for good because of this unfortunate incident.

It's normal.

They're all having that business mindset and the cut was a sure thing even if it's for the charity. It could be that some rich folks have already pledged for them while they'll give the whole profit of the match to the charity.

There are deals like that and these two legends will just now have to enjoy whatever they're doing and whatever they're up to. They deserve the things they have now.

He's enjoying while earning a lot, Mayweather is wise he don't need to risk anything not even fighting in exhibitions he will not let anything by chance to give him a hard time or even a chance of leading his health at risk, just a money making fights that will allow the fans to see him inside the ring. There are still people who continue to support and watch his fight, just like what happened from his previous fight, a Japanese YouTube celeb that brings him to Japan and allows the people there to witness him and Asakura fighting.

Expect more for sure, as he will continue to collect paycheck in this simple and easy way.

That's a confirmation from him and that's clearer to say so that the fans won't expect any rematch from the two. It's good to see that he's now going to enjoy his retirement.
Just like what everyone is talking about him having fun and getting quick paychecks then that's his style of business now. It's enjoyable for him and he's getting decent money from all of these fights.
Well, it's also a confirmation that we're going to see more exhibition matches from him and I guess there will be some dramas to add as it's part of making a fight noisier and many will be more interested if he's involved with it.

Floyd Mayweather is now just doing exhibitions to earn money to sustain his lifestyle as in exhibition fights he will not be training so hard in the gym to get fit unlike if he will be fighting Manny where he needs to be in great shape because that would be a competitive fight and he will lost his zero if will not train hard  .

Bottomline, i think Floyd is already done/retired in boxing and will not risk his life fighting Manny so i think the latter should also do the same, fight in an exhibition fight if he misses the lime light because i don't think that he will do exhibitions for money as he has tons of it right now.

We will see, I never thought that Floyd will fight Conor but it happen, so anything is open up to this fight. They have been seen both in Japan and Floyd even travel to Pacquiao's Philippines. So something might be brewing between the two. But in any case, the ball is always on the court of Floyd. But sure Manny is more willing to face him in exhibition fight. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango, so if Floyd is not willing, then we can't do anythin about it. The only thing that we can hold is that if there is demand and the money in the table is huge, maybe this could be Floyd's last fight.

It looks like Mayweather Jr. acknowledge that he will have a hell of a fight if he gave an opportunity to a rematch against Manny Pacquiao.  Honestly I have seen Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao's fight in slow motion version(can't find the link of that yt video now), and it was clearly shown that almost all the punches that the judges thinks that clearly hit Manny are blocked by Manny's gloves instead.  The reflex reaction of Manny in blocking and evading Mayweather's punches are superb during their match but I think it was too fast for the aging judges to see them clearly  .


Who knows, since Mayweather Jr. is a businessman, he might change his mind and think of fighting Manny in an exhibition match.  Money can change any decision when an opportunity opens up.  Besides they can do whatever they agreed upon even having an agreed script on how they will play the match.

For real? That is really unfortunate because I was surely hoping that we could see them sharing a ring once more and this the first time I've heard that Floyd Mayweather is turning down a fight that will give him good amount of money worth millions. Now, I'm starting to wonder if that includes McGregor because there's a rumor that there might be a Mayweather-McGregor 2.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. already buried the chances that he might face Manny Pacquiao again even if it will be in massive demand by the community.

He mentioned that he already had a hard fight in his life and all he will do now is purely for entertainment and fun.

It does mean that even in the exhibition matches, we will no longer see "The Money" fighting a real boxer within his league which does make sense after all. Those who will be annoyed at his exhibition match should just accept that Floyd is just making big money even in retirement.

Of course, both Mayweather and Pacquiao can pledge to donate all they want but they cannot deny that they are also taking a small fraction of what they earned for their personal use. Other than that, these two legends can still do and enjoy their passion safely nowadays without getting too much bruises while still garnering huge revenues from the fight they organized. A boxer will always be a boxer as they said, that is why even if they already retired professionally they are still fighting in a form of exhibition and can enjoy the leverage of being a legend.

People won't bother paying expensive tickets and PPV because seeing Mayweather and Pacquiao sharing a ring for the second time is not a sight that we always see, surely a fight like that will generate and amass millions of dollars, and might be on top of the list again when it comes to most generated revenue.

Although, I believe that Mayweather will still take that 60% cut and won't settle lower than that. I don't even recall that there's a fight where he settled less whether if it's an exhibition or professional fight.

I believe Casimero moved up in division because he has a problem meeting the weight limit and it is not because he is avoiding Inoue.  I believe they already had a scheduled fight but was postponed due to the pandemic.

There are videos circulating on the internet where Casimero is calling out Inoue for a match so and I think that proves that Casimero is itching for a match against Inoue but then the controversial event happens and Casimer were stripped of the title and eventually decided to move up.

In Casimero's recent division, I believe Tete is aiming for a rematch, and if ever Inoue moves up, there is a possibility for Inoue - Casimero fight.

No doubt Floyd is intelligent and that's why he's making bank right now.

And the stats that he's made for himself, he worked hard for him. Sure, it has been a long way to go but he still has reached it.

While for these exhibition fights, I guess it's another career path for the returned boxers like them to still go.

Like having not that much preparation but the pay check that will be given to them is a lot.

That was a match that was perfect timing for Ugas.

Pacquiao was doing a lot of things on that time and can't focus a lot to the sudden change that the match that he has went for.

I also think that the ending will be different if Pacquiao wasn't doing other things related to politics.

It was expected to him that no changes will happen but it had been different after all.

Something that worth to wait, Casimero is one of those prime fighter and the way he deals with his opponent really gives him the credential being a belt holder, sadly he just lose it with Butler due to maintaining his weight but since he's moving up, it will be a good challenge for him if he can still dominate from this new division. But for now, it will be good to hear or read any confirmation about this rumor fight. We are reading lots of schedule fights but till now there's no contract signing to confirm the schedule dates.

That's good to hear that Casimero is finally back in the right, but let's see, we have to wait for the final announcement of this fight. And moving up is the only thing to do for him so that he can move forward, obviously his body can't make the bantamweight as he had health issues and the losing his belt to Butler. Definitely, Inoue will be watching this one as they are supposed to fight in the bantamweight for the unification. Hopefully Casimero will win and be back being the brandish that he is.

I'll take your word for it too, at that time Pacquiao didn't have much time to prepare to fight him, UGAS is a boxer who takes advantage of opportunities, I'm sure that if PACQUIAO had had the opportunity to do a very intense training without thinking about political or something like that, the result would have been different, maybe some people who don't like Paquiao's style don't see that, but Pacquiao is a man who has a lot of technique, despite the defeat with Ugas I don't see it as relevant, yes It affects, because in part it tarnishes his reputation a little, but seeing it from the point of view that he is very legendary, that victory of eUGAS does not mean anything.


In particular, I would not like to see Pacquiao out of the fights, Floyd Mayweather for me is not as great as he is for many, and I think I have already made it clear, you can say that Mayweather is very intelligent and he dated everyone the champion belts, but for me he is not a complete fighter, he has a long way to go, and I think there could be better things with Pacquiao despite his age, I know that the exhibition fights are for benefits, but it is also an incentive seeing Pacquiao with those gloves and in a ring, for me it is very good that he can do a great job if he maintains the same rhythm, we will only have to wait for what they can offer him so that he can return to his usual fights and fill us with emotions.






It is as you say, Casimero is a boxer who is sometimes given impulses, and it was very wrong to call the Japanese turtle, but I think that at the heart of all this is that Casimero did it to get the attention of the Japanese, because Inoue is currently highly sought after, most boxers want to compete with him, because the Japanese is very good, however I don't think this goes unnoticed by Inoue, if something in boxing is very important it is when challenges arise, and this can become viral if Inoue ignores, because people, the gangs are very decisive when it comes to these challenges, I think this fight should be made, with that if Inoue is the best, many will want not to challenge him for his supremacy.

Pacquiao in Talks For Potential Exhibition Fight in January 2023

And although he has made it very clear that he will not return to the fights, I may say this as if to create more controversy, but I am sure that if they cheer him back, he will.

I watched the Casemero-Rigondeaux on Showtime. Casemero after his victory challenged Inoue to a fight and it became a trend after he called the Japanese a turtle. I discovered that Casemero was frustrated on Inoue since they were supposed to face each other but it was cancelled because of the covid period. What is the point that Casemero avoids Inoue? Wasn't Casemro hunting Inoue? Casemero twice was unable to make the bantamweight limit in a healthy way reason why he was removed as a champion. This is the reason he is back at super bantamweight. How can Casemero make super flyweight?

Since bantamweight are dominated by Inoue, this is why Casimero move to the next weight in order to avoid him. But I think sooner or later Casimero will face Inoue since Inoue will move to super bantamweight after he's become undisputed champion on bantamweight. I don't know it's a good choice by Casimero to increase his weight, if he's decrease his weight and just stay on super flyweight, he will be safer.
