“Money” versus “Money Kicks.” It seems a fight between all-time great Floyd Mayweather and mega-bucks YouTuber “Money Kicks,” real name Rashed Belhasa, will happen in Dubai next month.
It seems that just lately we really have been judging the judges. The three wise men who have the privileged and also incredibly important job of sitting closer to the action than anyone else in the house (with only the third man in the ring closer to the two men who are slugging it out out inside the squared circle) have been guilty of handing in some, shall we say, debatable scoring in fights.
Fight fans have heard by now: Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, a fighter who gets as pumped up by making history as he does by winning world titles, by pleasing the fans and by banking a ton of cash, will go for his fifth world title in as many weights next year.
Retired greats Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are almost as competitive on the basketball court as they once were in the ring.
Ho, hum, more crazy talk about another crazy fight. What are we to do but just run with it! Oscar De La Hoya (who may or may not go ahead with his fight with Vitor Belfort, now in the works for November 27), has offered Floyd Mayweather the staggering sum of $100 million to fight him in a return meeting of their 2007 “The World Awaits” showdown.
Perhaps stung by former rival Manny Pacquiao’s recent ‘Mount Rushmore’ boxing list, one that did not include him (Manny chose Muhammad Ali, Julio Cesar Chavez, Sugar Ray Leonard and Roy Jones Jr), Floyd Mayweather spoke about his own greatness when he was a guest on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game Show.
It’s been a hot topic for some time and it likely will be for a good many years to come: who is the greater fighter, Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather?
There wasn’t much boxing taking place last night, and the big MMA fight that did go down, between Dustin Poirer and Conor McGregor, ended quite quickly, this due to McGregor suffering a nasty injury – to the tune of a broken leg.
So did you tune in and watch last night’s hyped-up Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul exhibition bout? If you did, chances are you do not feel as though you got your $50’s worth.
Though he has never won a single fight as a professional boxer, Logan Paul is telling us he will do something on Sunday that great, greats fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Shane Mosley, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Canelo Alvarez and so many others failed to do – stop Floyd Mayweather.
