And considering how much he ran away during said fights. Dude banked on not doing much.
ummm........Floyd Mayweather is most likely the best defensive boxer of all time. The guy makes world class boxers like Canelo Alvarez or Juan Manuel Marquez look like amateurs.
Alvarez is probably the best pound for pound boxer in the game today and he lost almost every single round against Mayweather.
JMM was shutout against Mayweather....and Marquez is an elite fighter.
His marketing strategy that has made him the highest paid athlete in the entire World is nothing short of genius. Mayweather is not the most exciting fighter to watch. Most athletes or teams that bank their dominance on defense tend to get overlooked.
He turned himself into a heel by following the lead of the WWF. He acts almost exactly like the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Half the people that buy his paper views do it because they want to see him lose.
This is a guy that is most likely going to make $100 million from fighting a chump like Connor McGregor.
Someone whose boxing skills are nowhere close to the last 8 to 10 fighters he has beaten.
McGregor is smart also. Once he loses to Mayweather he will have made enough from that one fight to retire from professional fighting.
I was also wondering what all those TMT billboards were doing around Houston.
