The Great Nash wants these exhibitions to be banned. Pointless, the result, if any, doesn't matter, and it's just 20 year past their best fighters lining their pockets. Just go have a drink, Ricky, Senchenko ended your career and King Khan ended Barrera's. Nash out.

Dare I say it, GNash Out is 100% on the spot correct. I don't want to see the winner of this fight challenging Prince Naseem next either.

As a fan and a man, I'm all for exhibitions... Fair exhibitions.. Willie Pep and Sugar Ray Robinson had an exhibition.. the fighting spirit in a man never dies, and as long as a man lives, and has the desire, he should be allowed to fight.

(Side note: wouldn't it be cool if there was a P4P exhibition series at the end of every year, where the top 10 boxers had a playful exhibition? Imagine Fury vs Inoue, Spence vs Canelo. It'd be so dope just to see the best in the ring together. Like an All-Star or Pro Bowl game).

It’s their name. They built it so they should be able to profit off of it. So even though I don’t care about this exhibition I’m not going to be outraged.
