Too many champions put boxing in a lousy image, says Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather Jr. mouthed his rant to the sanctioning boxing bodies for having too many championship belts resulting in more champions.
Mayweather, who was about making money during his fighting career, added that promotions are to be blamed and his own, the Mayweather Promotions.
\’Too many champions. It\’s not such a thing as a super champion, not at all. And I\’m not taking anything away from no fighter. It\’s too many belts,\’ said the 50-0 Mayweather.
He reasoned out that they are making many champions because they have three percent of the champion\’s purse.
While it is benefiting the purse of the WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF, and the likes, it is hurting the sport\’s image.
The evident scene while boxing returned in a bubble while the pandemic is ongoing. TV ratings are on a landslide compared to other combat sports like UFC, who gained enough viewership.
\’You guys are just making extra money from all these fighters, getting extra money from sanctioning fees. And this goes for my company as well. We have to clean this sport of boxing up. This s***, this doesn\’t look good. When you look at TV now, everybody\’s a champion. You see all these fighters posing with a belt,\’ Mayweather added.
The retired American statement. Champions should be rare and few. And this is making boxing a little less competitive.
It goes with the saying, \”many were called, but only a few were chosen.\”

Canelo Alvarez ex-promoter Eddie Hearns predicts that Terrence Crawford will retire after his victory vs Israil Madrimov last August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Crawford is now the 4-division champ after winning by unanimous decision.

However, Hearns said that three fighters are a must fight against Crawford before hanging his gloves – Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, and Canelo.

“I don’t think Crawford wants a Boots fight. I don’t think Crawford will fight again unless he fights Canelo Alvarez because he’s got money, he’s getting on [in age],” Hearns revealed.

He added that Crawford ducks Ortiz. He also mocked him for getting lucky with the scoring for his fight against Madrimov.

Hearns underscored that 36 year old Crawford is craving for mega-money, mega-fights, and real legacy fights that is why he does not like to fight the undefeated Ennis. He furthered that 27 year old Ennis is like the young Crawford version that is why he is skipping him.

Meanwhile, Crawford still hates Ennis because he is overrated.

Lebron ridicules Wembanyama Olympics debut

NBA legend Lebron James mocked team Victor Wembanyama’s team France when they lost to Germany 85 – 71 last August 2, 2024 in Paris, France.

“I wasn’t very impressed with their last game. I didn’t think they were ready for the physicality of Germany. Other than that, they were playing some good ball.” Lebron added that France is not ready for Germany’s physicality.

However team France made a comeback win against Germany last August 8, 2024 with 73 – 69 that stunned the team USA.. It can be recalled that France went 2-1 in Group B last August 2 against Germany.

Wembanyama added 12 rebounds in that game, but not enough to win. This is his first time in
Olympics 2024 yet as of this writing Wemby is getting controversial.
