Based on what I said:

"Nobody I know outside of boxing circles are talking about the antics. The only thing I ever hear from the casual fan are what bafoons Pacquiao and Mayweather are being."

"Stunts like this make boxing look like MMA or WWE. Without some regulations for professionalism and sportsman like conduct like other sports or martial arts boxing is going to keep sinking for the general public."

Of course these antics are killing boxing. You think parents want their kids watching baseball, basketball, and football, or boxing, MMA, and WWE.

If the average person thinks boxing is full of shady soap opera like drama like brawling and corruption, and the fights themselves are boring. Then why would people tune in? It comes off as fake and not worthwhile. Especially if you are gonna pay money. It's just HYPE.

Just speaking for myself. I haven't paid for a PPV in years. I watch the fight online or on HBO after the fact if the fight is exciting. I also pick and choose fights to watch fights based on skills of the opponents. I don't want to watch guys fight like pansies (Chisora). So him getting in a brawl doesn't make the fight anymore exciting. To me boxing is about exciting and skilled fights, not HYPE.

Here's where your off. Chisora put a better effort against Vitali than many. You're making the mistake of AZZuming brash characters don't walk the walk.
