After saying I thought these mma vs boxer matches are like an exhibition fight

Decide to Google to see who if anyone was thinking the same and was happy to see im not.

Anyone who's ever been around boxing and have watched professional and amateur boxing for years can watch these sham fights and see what's going on. Rather it be McGregor and Floyd or this Tyson fury fight. It's a disgrace.its a sham and it's carnival.

Tyson fury or any other champion is going to just ignore any and all legit top 20 contenders who are in line next to do one of these freak shows with an mma just for the circus like attraction. It brings?

It's. Crock

Boxing Legend Blasts Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou: "Get A Real Fight"
This boxing legend has had enough of the crossover fights.

One boxing Hall of Famer is disappointed by the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou booking.

Fury and Ngannou are set to collide on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury will not be stripped of the WBC Heavyweight Championship for taking the bout against an unranked boxer who is coming from the world of MMA.

MMA fans who have supported Francis Ngannou since his UFC split are happy for "The Predator." Some boxing pundits and former fighters, however, aren't as gleeful about the former UFC Heavyweight Champion going one-on-one with Fury.

"During a recent video posted on his YouTube Channel, International Boxing Hall of Famer Carl Froch slammed the decision to book Fury vs. Ngannou.

"Tyson Fury against Ngannou, so a crossover fight, boxing and MMA," Froch said. "Been there, seen it, heard it all before. Seen it with Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor. It's a load of rubbish. Nobody's interested anymore. MMA fighters trying to call out boxers, trying to get the clickbait talking so they can get these paydays. It's a load of rubbish. They've been talking ages about, 'Oh, the game's changing, the game's changing, it's gonna be brilliant.' What a disappointment. I was actually excited thinking, 'Right, I can't wait for this news,' and then you go and pull that out of the bag. A dead rabbit out of the bag, straight in the bin. It's just of no use to anybody. So, just stick to boxing promotion and get a real fight for Fury."

They should be looked into. You better believe someone is making pay off with this circus exhibition fights they are promoting as legit boxing matches.

Exactly. I rest my case.

I haven't watched it to score it. The guy has zero boxing experience. Didn't even start mma till 25 years old the media says it was super close and that ngannou probably won but DIDNT. Fury says in post fight interview he was the toughest he's fought in years

This is all bs.. the fights outcomes have nothing to do with wbc,ibf, etc etc rankings.

This is all about cashing in and making money on the MMA vs Boxer nonsense .

And if fury had trained like he does for real fights and really did what he is capable of instead of going along with this chit it would kot have ven of been watchable.

Same with the McGregor Floyd fight. That didn't even look like Floyd fighting . Again looked like a pure exhibition. Fight

Right, boxing is rigged and these fights are all about the money

my point is they can still be competitive like Paul vs Tommy Fury and Ngannou vs Fury. also Belfort vs Holyfield, Pettis vs Roy Jones jr but they were old as fuk
