Why people are a little unclear about the Mayweather Greece fight:
- Boxing vs kickboxing: Zambidis isn’t a boxer. Fans don’t know how rules will work
- Exhibition overload: Mayweather keeps doing exhibitions. People question if they matter
- Pacquiao conflict: Mayweather calls Pacquiao Sept fight an exhibition, but Pacquiao says it’s pro
- Opponent age: Zambidis is 45 and hasn’t fought since 2015. Some think it’s a mismatch
- Location choice: Greece isn’t a usual boxing hub. The venue and PPV details are still vague
- Money vs legacy: Critics say it’s just a payday. Mayweather says he’s still the biggest draw
Pacman recently said himself that Mayweather is taking all the exhibitions based on his undefeated 50-0 pro boxing record and is scared of getting beat.
Recently Mayweather and Mike Tyson had an exhibition completely fall apart and didn’t happen in April just gone in Africa like they announced it would.
