I know its hard to comprehend more than 2 words at a time, but if you could, you might learn something.

Floyd better.

Fighters greedy.

You simpleton.

Points made.

Two words.

Wow, thank you for your insight, and once again hijacking this thread after I post some news relevant to it.

You're dismissing insight with ridiculous analogies.

I don't see how you don't get it, Floyd is pound for pound potentially the greatest boxer to ever pull on gloves. We could throw in names for ever if we were going to have that argument, and no fucking way would we get to the point where we said yeah but maybe Nasukawa is the best boxer of all time, or maybe that is the point you want to make? Is it?

Because your other point, that we don't see baseballers defecting to golf because it pays better, is fucking stupid. If you think it's not fucking stupid, if you think it's something genuinely worth discussing, please offer the name of a baseballer who you think might secretly be the worlds best golfer, precisely like you have for boxing.

Floyd can't possibly be running out of money so what's up with these weird choices. Probably boredom but I'll be damned if I watch this trash.

He can, odd as that seems. Before his "fight" against Conor, Floyd owed a ton of taxes to the IRS, and he told them he couldn't afford to pay until his check for the fight came in. Guy spends unreal amounts of money.

He's planning to fight Manny Pacquiao at Tokyo Dome some time next year, so for him this is just a way to get his name out there in Japan. And for Rizin it is much needed publicity.

Floyd spends crazy money but he's nowhere near broke. He gets tens of millions of dollars for every public appearance he makes; that's what he thought this whole Rizin deal was to begin with. He thought he was just going to go to Japan, give a talk to the Rizin fighters, and do a quick exhibition against Nasukawa for them. But when he got there they took him right off the plane and to the press conference, which is why he originally backed out.

Tenshin is 28-0 now after winning by brutal first round knockout a couple days ago.

Well, it happened.

Floyd walked around the ring laughing, collecting 3 knockdowns on his way to a first round TKO win.

Tenshin isn't used to getting hit by a boxer, let alone one so much bigger. I don't think it would have made a difference if they let the kid throw kicks or even go for takedowns. Floyd literally could have knocked him out with a single punch at any point .Floyd didn't even train for the fight.

Took about 12 minutes to simply get in the ring and start the match, LOL

Fixed or naw? I've seen decent arguments both ways, and I'm leaning toward not being fixed, but it's RIZIN, which is the descendant of PRIDE, so, well, yeah.

Kid could have brought a samurai sword and Mayweather would have slip that Ougi Kogetsu Zan and counter KO. Mayweather is just too good.

The more impressive part is that he earned almost $100million overall for the fight.

Of course not. Why would they need to fix this fight? The result was what anyone who knows anything about boxing should have expected.

Weight classes exist for a reason and kickboxers stick to kickboxing for a reason.

If it were fixed it might have appeared more competitive. Mayweather was just playing with the guy, he gets more of a workout from his sparring partners.

Correct.

Tenshin was fucking crying after the fight. He actually thought he could win.

This is how the McGregor fight would have gone too if Floyd weren't in the business of selling PPVs. No PPV this time and he wasted him in round one.

I can't believe Floyd showed up. I hope Rizin get the ratings they want cause they Yuji Nagata'd the poor kid.
Mayweather remains UNDEFEATED VS DEBUTING BOXERS.
