The idea that boxing is even a sport at this point is hilarious. It’s basically become a money laundering scheme like the high art world.

    Let's see, old heavyweight boxer last payday retirement tour

    Foreman was already too old when he did his crazy champ return in the 90s

    Holyfield was doing prematch talking and sounded drugged out

    Lennox Lewis was also talking prematch and sounded much more lucid

    Roy Jones did commentary the whole night and may be the youngest out of this list

    Bernard Hopkins?

    And other lesser-named champions

    Paul could rinse and repeat this damn formula every year or two when he wants to race-bait and antagonize his way to a payday and some time in the news cycle.

    Basically the Conor McGregor formula.
