    What happens now? Does the Nielsen fight still go ahead?

    Ya'll are some pieces of ****. Just the fact that Holyfield is STILL relevant says everything you need to know about the heavyweight division.

    That is the case with normal PPV's. This wasn't one.

    Fringe-audience affairs like this and those Latin Fury Julio Cesar Chavez PPV's don't draw from the same group of boxing fans who pay to see competitive match-ups.

    Low-rent Holyfield PPV's are purchased because Holyfield fans want to see Holyfield win...even against a tomato can.

    The Chavez Latin Fury PPV's are purchased because Mexicans want to see Chavez Sr.'s name done proud by Jr. getting a win...even against a tomato can.

    They're small, fringe audiences with different expectations from real fight fans paying to watch real boxing.

    The expectation and hope of anyone who bought this PPV was to see Holyfield win. He felt like he probably wasn't going to win, so he did that customer base a favor by letting it end the way it did.

    It wasn't as disgraceful as Sam Peter quitting in 2008.

    Smart move by Holyfield, although I disagree with it.

    I think he was advised to quit (I heard someone in his corner yell that if he pulled out it would be a NC). Holyfield still dreaming of a title shot smartly agreed. I have no problem with it. I don't want to see him get a beating. You know he'd still fight on anyway.
