this is a stupid fight. Berto 3 losses in last 6 fights, no notable wins. no wonder no one else is buying or attending this crap.
agreed. strange that it's even happening. i'll bet pay per view numbers are the lowest in a long time for a mayweather fight. and laughable to think this is his final fight. anybody in the world actually believe that?
I think Floyd is almost 100% sure this isn't his last fight, but was talking about how it might be to get more people to buy in for an otherwise unnoteworthy fight.
kenny bayless was the star of the fight, i thought berto did enough not to get shut out on one of those scorecards

he's just saying that because, AL Haymon runs boxing and took his fighters, Mayweather already beat Canelo and Cotto
Now that Floyd is retired, he'll be putting all of his energy into learning how to read. With any luck, he'll be partially literate within a decade.
He may not be able to read at a good level, but his marketing still fools you into believing his retirement and other crap.

^That was pretty funny. As much as I hate Floyd's style, his defense alone should put him up there. Look, the good news is that we don't have to see Floyd fight again. Now we can focus on some young bloods in this sport.
Who in the hell pays for these Mayweather fights? I'm sure there are nature documentaries on for free that are more riveting than his pillow fights. Didn't watch, the Pacquiao and Canelo fights are the only fights of his I've watched in years, but it sounds like yet another match where nobody came close to getting knocked out.
Wow, such a meager retirement. Peace out Floyd. I would say thanks for the memories but I'm struggling to remember any memorable moments from you outside of things you've said or done outside of the ring.
im surprised how much traction there is with jokes like these on social media given the dude 100% has dyslexia. I know everyone loves the terminator iron chin iron fist style of guys like Golovkin but Mayweather in his prime was a sight to behold.
They aren't fans of boxing, they want to see brawls and heavy punches. Always a shame to see those people call themselves boxing fans and saying Floyd is bad for the sport or a p***y that just runs away. They don't know anything about the art of boxing.
