Comments Thread For: Mayweather on Tyson-Jones: We Forget Who Was The Pioneer of Making Exhibition Bouts Huge

You kids can blow Tyson and hate Mayweather all you want but Mayweather's legacy far exceeds Tyson's, his resume and standing in Boxing is superior.

Nah resume only

Not legacy. Tyson was more popular than him even at the peak of mayweathers career

Only Ali can compare with tyson

We can go by your delusional fantasy or look at the numbers.

Mayweather sold far more tickets throughout his career and made a lot more money. Purely boxing related.

Tyson may have been more 'famous' due to being an ear biting quitter who ****d people on the side alongside his boxing career, if it helps you sleep better at night he can have that.

But Tyson's a POS on the bottom of Mayweather's shoes when it comes to boxing.

Ok, cool Floyd

At least Mayweather admits he does the exhibition's for $$$. Tyson trying to tell us it's for charity then it comes out him and Jones on % of ppv. Just sayin . . .

Rocky vs Hogan?

Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather is no stranger to exhibition fights. Mayweather retired from the sport of boxing in August of 2017, after stopping UFC superstar Conor McGregor in the tenth round of their crossover boxing match.

as about "The Pioneer(s) of Making Exhibition Bouts Huge":

... the pioneers of making exhibition fights were Jack Dempsey (vs King Levinsky before a crowd of 23,322 people at Chicago Stadium), and SRR, in his European tours...

That wasn't worth reading at all. I'm glad I skipped down to the end to read the quote lol

All I looked at was Tyson's and Roy's age and went to see Mayweather's non pick lol

Nice of Mayweather to give Ali credit.

[QballLobo]

Rocky Balboa vs Thunderlips was well before Floyd fighting a small MMA guy and making him box.

Why does everything always have to be about Floyd. I saw the entire interview on YouTube with rapper Fat Joe. Floyd has a huge ego and he should, earning the most in boxing of any fighter and retiring undefeated but damn; give Tyson and Roy this shine now.
