    kind of sums the sport up as it stands today, no doubt the UFC bigwigs will be cashing in on that quote for some time now.

    We all love the actual combative sport, it's the business aspect which is pure gabage.

    There is controversy in all sports, Boxing is no different... though he had the right to say whatever the **** he liked there IMO.

    He was so right. And said exactly what many of us have been thinking for a number of years.

    The sport is brilliant, but the corruption is a cancer that is killing the sport.

    Good for Malignaggi, he said what needed to be said, and said it while those that needed to hear it were present.

    I am not really a fan of Malignaggi , but he spoke up for whats wrong with boxing today, and I give him lots of credit for it.

    after the fight was over my girlfriend asked me "are they going to investigate these judges?"
    I didnt even know what to say to that....its really sad that a fighter would fight for 12 rounds just to be shafted at the end......takes away any incentives from fighting
