    in the 60s and 70s muhammad ali had big world title fights in zambia, manilla, bahamas, puerto rico, kuala lumper, congo Kinshasa, dublin, zurich, tokyo, frankfurt, london. they brought the big fights around the world which made it more interesting imo. why have they stopped doing this? don't you think it was a good thing for boxing?

    Imagine trying to rehydrate yourself when you've got Deli Belly! You're trying gain 8lbs and you have liquid shooting out your arse faster than your mouth can take it in

    That would be freaking awesum BUT with tickets probably costing around 5-10k it would only be the elite few that could watch Floyd fight...

    I retract my original answer, and replace it with this one, and request a motion to end the thread, with this post given as definitive fact.
