I'm a big fan of boxing, but I've been against this fight since it was announced. I know a lot of posters on here are big UFC fans, but that's never been my thing. I'm in my 30's and grew up watching videos my dad gave me of welterweight fights in the 70's and 80's. Those were real wars of attrition that you don't see in the UFC game. If an unknown fighter was able to "go the distance" it was a real Rocky Balboa moment. It's hard to believe those fights were televised for free.
I've watched two of the Pac-Marquez fights, and they were pretty awesome. But let's be honest, these guys are old and this is not a fight people should be paying $60 to watch. Promoters like Bob Arum are preventing us from seeing the match-ups we all want, and milking every last cent. Someone needs to tell Bobby boy that he could be cashing in on #PacMayweather's 3rd or 4th fight right now. It's suppossed to be all about money, but if you consider the amount of coin these guys have left on the table it is not smart business.
Boxing is doing their best to mimic the conference realignment model, and destroy the games we love. I'm finally at peace with the ACC taking a commuter school ranked #170 over us. It's clear a bunch of dumb**ses are making decisions. I was only half joking when I said @huskyfandan should be our AD. At least he has passion.
