Not a huge boxing fan but surely this just takes the piss out of boxers who have trained and fought all their lives to get to the top and fight the best. It’s like Bieber playing in champs league with Messi cos people will watch it.

It's not sport. it's entertainment. When "celebrities" meet sportsmen\women. like soccer-aid etc. If there was a belt or a championship up for grabs, then that would be a totally different kettle of fish. This is more about cash and clicks than anything else.
@GeorgeLineker
Given that Mayweather has effectively been retired for a long time now, it's more like your dad agreeing to play a 5 a side tournament with Bieber. Which tbh I wouldn't mind watching
@GeorgeLineker
It’s nothing like Bieber playing in the champions league. No title is at stake no rankings taken into consideration. It’s an exhibition boxing match. Get over it.
@GeorgeLineker
It's a joke, sadly most boxing is these days million pound shocks then million pound rematches to set the story straight, same with music forget the hard work and creativity giging clubs, just go on a reality show with a sad story.
@GeorgeLineker
If Barca decided to sign and play Bieber I’d refuse to watch it like everyone should refuse to watch this and like they should have refused to watch the McGregor fight. Don’t pay for it and it will stop. Don’t let Mayweather get away with it
@GeorgeLineker
Nothing to do with boxing now, it's all about how much money they can make out of PPV, as you say, it's taking the piss. Mayweather gonba destroy his legacy doing this shit
@GeorgeLineker
If it has anything to do with logan paul getting his pan knocked in I'm all for it, imagine being in a ring with Mayweather and being the bigger ass
@GeorgeLineker
I'm no fan of logan, but if he is training his ass off like anyone else, and the promoters are seeing the vast amount of money it will inevitably draw, it will also be great in terms of giving massive exposure of the sport of boxing to millions of new eyes!
@GeorgeLineker
Need to stop looking at it as a sport, its prize fighting. All fighting is prize fighting unless in a competition with ruleset like Wrestling.
