    There going to let pro fighters fight against Amateur boxers.

    That like throwing a top 18 prospect vs the klits.

    This is not right.

    I hate to say it, but something like this has potential to protect the integrity of boxing.

    Have you actually read what the rules will be? Mayweathers and co. won't be eligible, the only pro boxers allowed will be ones who are only associated with the yet to be developed APB organisation. Any boxer who has fought for WBA,WBO,IBF etc. will not be eligible.
    Maybe try learning to read the whole article instead of just the headline..

    no , its not like that

    the world series of boxing are amateur boxers but they do draw a salary of sorts, but not considered pro by definition

    Their called d Cubans and this has been going on for some time.
    Serously are we talking about boxers who took part in the World Series of Boxing. Who recive pay, but retain their amature status, or are we talking about acatule pro boxers?
