..cares more about money than he does about his legacy?

dude doesn't seem to give two fukks about legacy or how he'll be remembered. the guy is the best fighter of his generation but is gonna be remembered more for these clown contests with non-boxers (and making a shyt ton of money doing it) rather than his actual skill in the ring. shyts sad man :francis:

You're a fool if you think anybody will be talking about these fights years from now
Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson are still relevant with today's generation and are brought up constantly as icons & inspirations :yeshrug: (especially with MMA fighters funnily enough)

if you manage your career and image right you can become a pop culture fixture like they are

I feel like a lot of it was because there were much fewer things to competing for attention

Mike Tyson looks funny in the light for me

Ali came through the 60's when it had major advantages in regards to the narrative Jordan got that over Bron and others as well

And both fought in exhibitions that nobody cares about...

50 - 0 means nothing to me or his legacy, because its meaningless outside of HW.
That said he is one of the best of his generation and a ATG WW and that will never change.
People in the fight game only do it for money so I don't care about him getting millions for a exhibition.

I just find it sad that I think Floyd needs the money.
