Floyd made 9 millions under 2 minutes. Let that sink in!

Its simple. Floyd was approached and offered a lot of money to fight in this circus just like when Ali fought that Japanese wrestler. Its easy for all of us on the outside to criticize it but the majority of us would do the exact same thing if we were offered only a fraction of what Floyd's getting.

[Razear]

1 minute of work for 9 mil, pretty sure Floyd is laughing, all the way to the bank, that is.

[juicelee]

Of course the fight was a joke but who tf is going to turn down 9 million dollars thats the real joke

[yungarchitec]

Wish I had money like Floyd so ppl cud hate on me

[turdferguson-]

It's an exhibition, not a fight. It's funny how people forget Floyd is a PRIZE FIGHTER. They don't fight for our enjoyment. Plus, $9, 000, 000 in 9 min... Clearly only jealous haters have something negative to say. Full stop

[Boost_]

When you're making money and just successful in general, majority of people are sick to their stomach with jealousy and hate.
I'll never understand this mentality.

[kgaugelomojela]

Floyd is Terence, so Bob has to hate on him, I mean even Buffet doesn't like Floyd.. Floyd is self-made

[KingOfKingz]

a couple mill is a joke??well then let the joke be on

[forextrader]

I think Bob Arum just called me a jerk!

[doesntmatter]

I'd gladly take being hated on constantly in exchange for being rich.

[realitycheck]

It's a joke that these young boxers keep calling out an old and retired boxer (it benefits them than it does Floyd even if they lose) and if Floyd thinks it's an easy pay day, who wouldn't take the fight?? Bob Arum is the white Don King, he rips-off all his boxers and Floyd wouldn't be as rich as he is if he was still signed to him. Floyd laid out the blue print for these young boxers on how to make yourself a brand and have 100% control how much money you want in your fights.

[onee]

Dude knew it. And basically predicted the fight.

[HenryTheBoilermakerrdYear]

Bob Arum is right. This fight was a joke. A 55kg mma fighter going up against a 70 kg professional boxer in a boxing rules match. How is this fight not a joke flomos?

[hogish]

Always a joke when he and others aren’t getting paid!!

[HR-jynb]

LMAO hahahaha 😂😂 he called Dana easy work

[SweetPProductions]

Bob will never stop hatin on Floyd smh

[dariusewing]

Bob Arum is all about money... yet he hate on Floyd

[kingwillie]

I’d like a $9, 000, 000 joke in my pocket right about now.
