Just weeks ago, Floyd Mayweather made headlines when he candidly admitted turning down a bout with Jean Pascal. His reason? The numbers just didn’t add up. “Yes, so that name was brought up, but I told them the numbers weren’t right. So you got to get your numbers right. We’re just gonna move around lightly,” he remarked. This revelation painted Mayweather not just as a boxing legend but also as a shrewd businessman, always ensuring the terms were favorable before stepping into the ring.
However, recent rumblings suggest that the tables might have turned. And as always, fans have been quick to voice their opinions. Athos Esgasane quipped, “I’m going to watch a movie in the movie theater instead!!,” pointing to a possible lack of interest in the matchup.
Brian Thomas chimed in with a more analytical perspective. He noted, “Pascal got good hand skills and is no pushover and will bang it out with his opponents. I think he’s too big for Floyd Jr. Floyd is making good bread in exhibition matches. Floyd’s not anywhere in shape to be in a real boxing match right now.”
Diving deeper into the essence of boxing, Brian Anthony Collins added, “I don’t know if this is real, but at least Pascal is a real boxer.” Clearly, for some, the authenticity of the bout matters more than the spectacle.
On the other hand, Michael Laibovitz believes in Mayweather’s prowess, saying, “It will be easy work for Mayweather. Pascal didn’t look that good in his last fight.”
Bruce Champion added a layer of concern for Mayweather’s well-being, stating, “Floyd needs to stop it before he comes up with brain bleeding. Even though he calls it an exhibition, Floyd Mayweather is still getting hit.”
The Mayweather-Pascal saga unfolds as a testament to the unpredictable nature of boxing. It’s a sport, a business, and a drama all rolled into one. Mayweather’s strategic moves, both in the ring and in negotiations, have once again piqued the collective interest of fans, critics, and boxing enthusiasts alike.
