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

Published

on

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.\”

Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby overlooked as Durant hypes Tatum

As the Boston Celtics won vs Phoenix (127 – 112) last March  15, 2024, NBA superstar Kevin Durant hyped Tatum as the one who will control the league for the next 10 or 12 years.

Despite the outstanding performance of Joel Hans Embiid Philadelphia 76ers, Doncic  Luka Mavericks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks, Victor Wembanyama Spurs and others, Durant still saw Celtic power forward Jayson Christophe Tatum as the best.

Durant said after the Wednesday practice that Tatum is consistent all year and assumed him as the legit candidate.

“Putting up a high number of points. Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.” Durant remarked.
