Yes, I'm just figuring out this was about money now, despite saying that from the jump.
Again, I had no problem with the cash grab. I had no issues with them pretending it was a real fight even though everyone with any common sense knew what it was. I had no problem with Floyd carrying McGregor longer than he really needed to either. I also have no issues with saying it was a good display by McGregor because while he was never in it in any actuality, he put on a decent show. He tried hard and he pressed forward. He threw more punches than I thought he would, trying to make it a real fight. It wasn't but that's not his fault. It was the fault of the people offering him that amount of money to ever be there.
What I do have an issue with is how Floyd handled himself on ESPN after the fight. Acting like he'd accomplished something special when everyone in the world not named Mayweather or McGregor recognized this was a sham. That was some so pathetic and sad that it was laughable. I also have an issue with him not fighting a real boxer to go to 50-0. Celebrating that "win" like it was meaningful showed me how delusional the guy really is. It's an empty win. Again, it was pathetic.
If you already knew what it was, you wouldn't need to be asking why he wasn't fighting another Boxer like you were earlier in the thread.
You'd also not be spouting this nonsense about how he chose McGregor rather than an actual Boxer because he was scared. If you realise this is about money, and surely you realise that nobody else would present the opportunity to make this much money, then you must also realise that explanation doesn't stack up.
Again, athletes that are full of themselves, who knew
Imagine celebrating when you've just made 300 million dollars.
When they interviewed him post fight about the record he had very little to say about it. But you don't seem to acknowledge that.
He's also said in the past, when he hit 49, that he hoped someone else would come along and beat it, but you don't want to acknowledge that either.
Of course, he'll now live off the 50-0, make a bunch more money trademarking it and selling merch for it regardless of how he got it and you'll moan about it, but it will work for him. He'll make money from it. But the "it works for him" argument only applies to you when it comes to McGregor, not with Floyd. As we saw previously where you justified McGregor's actions by saying it works for him. Floyd is a businessman, he's a promoter, the money making ventures don't just end in the ring. All the talk, the image, it's all part of the money making plan. You say it's pathetic, he's laughing while those 50-0 shirts are getting printed to generate even more money. Who is the pathetic one, the guy sitting on the internet moaning incessantly or the guy out there making more money than you'll ever come close to seeing in your life?
