“Hopefully Someone Instagram Lives It”: Fans Left Disappointed as Floyd Mayweather’s Protege Curmel Moton’s Pro Debut Decided Not to Be Televised in “Strange Decision” at Canelo vs. Charlo Event

Curmel Moton will make his entry on the big stage for the first time, at the T-Mobile Arena in front of 20,000 in attendance. The 18-time national boxing champion has his name backed up by none other than boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather. Turns out, the Salt Lake City-born boxer’s amateur career was being heavily followed by ‘Money.’ According to Sun, Mayweather even stated, “We don’t know who’s going to be the next Floyd Mayweather. But I truly believe this could be the next Floyd Mayweather.”

‘Big Deal’ is going to have his first professional fight against undefeated Ezequiel Flores tonight, and it’s scheduled to be six rounds. Moton has amassed a total of 135 victories in his amateur career until now. However, he lost to Shakur Stevenson during his amateur career. Anyway, now with his pro debut fight, a serious development has just been declared for all the fans who were hoping to see the 17-year-old fighter for the first time.

Fans question the management over a decision

According to a post on X, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, has stated that Curmel Moton would be fighting after the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo. Furthermore, the boxing reporter, Jake Donovan, has revealed that the fight wouldn’t be televised on the live stream.

He also wrote, “Strange decision given all the hype surrounding his career, especially in an era where it’s commonplace for standout amateurs to be prominently featured in their pro debut.” Even the fans weren’t very happy about this decision.

One of the fans sounded hopeful, as they stated that there was a chance they would squeeze him in between the undercard fights before the main event. They also believed that it was “too bad” to make the Moton bout a walkout fight.

Another fan stated that he really wished to see this bout. As the boxer has been hyped by a lot of big names in the sport.

One fan pointed out that the management could do something, as there was a 50-minute gap between the undercard fights.

However, it did not happen.

A fan stated that he should’ve been brought out in the meantime when everybody was waiting for a bout to happen.

An X user, on the other hand, hoped for someone to record the fight on Instagram.

The fans are not happy about not being able to see Curmel Moton fight. Especially when he was hyped by Floyd Mayweather himself. The fans still remain hopeful about this fight, and maybe Showtime will decide to do something about it by the time it happens. What are your thoughts about this? Tell us in the comments section.
