Re: The last big fight De La Hoya - Mayweather

There is more to boxing than hurting people.

Unfortunate, but true. I just don't think boxing will be able to maintain any sort of popularity with the common man with a defensive specialist as the best fighter in boxing. Fights like last night's are just too boring for your average fan. If a rematch were held, I think they'd be lucky to get 50% of the PPV buys they had last night. The fight just didn't live up to the hype and that's the best boxing has to offer now and for the foreseeable future.
Of couse, MMA has sucky fighters too. But the best fights in MMA are just heads and shoulders above that crapfest I witnessed last night.
