Mayweather beats his Opponet To Tears.

Mayweather  recently beats opponets to tears. Mayweather beats his opponets from Asia counterparts.but the match looks like it's a shame of a match because it the match actually looked fixed. Mayweather who has retired several times was just seen dancing in the ring while fighting,but he won, the question is how did he win,how is that possible if the match wasn't fixed. We have seen this kind of fight involving Mayweather in recent years. Hence on begin to question the sanity of this sport caed boxing which is meant to  be a very competitive sport. Looking recent matchs involving Mayweather,if it has not been taken over by scandalous money making fights.  This is a real issue Boxing Federation have to tackle and bring back the Old days of real competitive,Interesting Boxing bout, because money is not all,they should not try and deprive us of the needful fun  we expect from the game. Like the old days of Jack Johnson, Muhammed Ali,Mike Tyson.
