Floyd Mayweather is presently in conversations for an exhibit fight against Mikey Garcia on December 9th. Interestingly, Mayweather has actually picked the exact same date as the Regis Prograis vs. Devin Haney occasion, requiring fans to select in between the 2 unless they wish to buy both pay-per-view occasions. This choice by Mayweather appears unjust to the Haney-Prograis card as it might lead to less fans tuning in to see the young and appealing Devin Haney. It appears that Mayweather’s intention for picking this date is to promote his brand-new bourbon brand name, “Good Money Whiskey.” While Mayweather is currently a rich person with a projected net worth of $400 million, it appears he is utilizing the exhibit fight as a platform to market his brand-new item. This marketing technique is not unusual for Mayweather, as he formerly utilized his strip club endeavor to accompany his fight against Conor McGregor in 2017. This relocation by Mayweather has actually raised concerns about whether he genuinely has the very best interests of the sport and the more youthful generation of fighters at heart. It is regrettable that this choice might eclipse the Haney-Prograis fight, as it might be a substantial minute in the young fighter’s profession. The addition of undercard battles including Keith Thurman vs. Eimantas Stanionis and Danny Garcia vs. Erislandy Lara might possibly bring in more audiences to Mayweather’s occasion. However, it is discouraging to see Mayweather removing attention from the more youthful generation of fighters who might considerably take advantage of the direct exposure. Ultimately, it is frustrating that Mayweather has actually picked to take on the Haney-Prograis occasion, particularly thinking about the significance and capacity of that match. Mayweather might have chosen a various date to prevent eclipsing this appealing fight. It stays uncertain whether Mayweather’s actions genuinely serve the very best interests of the sport or are entirely driven by his individual gain and self-promotion.
