David Price vs Carlos Takam on Whyte-Chisora II undercard

takam by late ko or wide ud.

 

True, that's what happens when casuals watch boxing. They want the carnival act, but it's not a new thing remember Butterbean in the 90's. How about Christy Martin the coal miners daughter she was a novelty act on King cards. Even the Foreman comeback at the start had many people tuning in just to watch an old man fight as a novelty.

But Mayweather/McGregor was a turning point where before it was just a novelty that fight became more mainstream and actually was taken seriously by some, it wasn't just a novelty side show but the main event. Same with that fight with the Youtubers, WTF was that all about.
