Guys, what do you think about those famous people in other sports (like UFC, MMA) then suddenly will shift into boxing, not via professional boxing, but as an exhibition match? Or those who are already retired but suddenly will participate in an exhibition match against a non-boxer. It was all started by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and then from there, lots of boxing exhibition matches have been executed.
And the sad part, these people who are participating in exhibition matches are being paid more compared to professional boxers.
These exhibition fighters coming from MMA are getting paid more because they have built their name in MMA and they have already gained a legion of fans they follow their idol in boxing matches and people out of curiosity are paying to watch these matches, and so far the fans are not disappointed because its action-packed like what happens on all of the brother Paul's matches, there are rumors that Jake Paul will fight Andersson Silva this match if the deal is made is going to be another blockbuster in the making.
