I don't think this fight is some superfight that will save the sport. Infact, if they both keep fighting decent level competition, they will get a lot of other fighters exposure, which is really what the sport needs, as opposed to some superfight. |

It's only an issue because the fans are making it an issue.
Do you really expect a fight of this magnitude to not hit any bumps during negotiations? People expect immediate answers the following day. Calm down, and wait for official announcements before stressing yourselves. For all we know, they could have agreed absolutely everything that needs agreeing, and have been just waiting for the right time to confirm and announce the fight. Crying and barking thread after thread does very little to help. |

this is the result of boxing becoming a business and not a sport...

Dear Pac and Floyd,
Thank you for the work and dedication you've put in to the sport throughout your entire lives. Thank you also for the blood sweat and tears that you've spilled into the sport and the risks that you've taken along the way, putting it all on the line in an effort to be the best that you can be. Your unique and exceptional abilities are amazing to watch and have provided me with many hours of entertainment. No matter what happens from now on, I will always respect both of you. Regards, PH|LLA |

Boxing has never been a sport, not prize fighting anyway. It is and always has been a business so stop crying about it and go watch amateur boxing if you don't like it.

So the best never fought the best so they would be recognized as such? Of course they were handsomely compensated for being punched in the face as a job but they had a sense of pride associated with their work. There aren't many fighters like that around anymore.
