Pacquiao vs Mayweather...Saves boxing?

This content is protected

A great fight won't save it and a disappointing fight won't kill it. Then it's on to the next one.

 

Saves boxing from what? That ****ing snoozefest of a fight last night in UFC between Evans and Jackson?

 

Boxing needs no saving.

 

No fight will make or break boxing. Just like MLB didn't die after Sosa, McGwire, Bonds, Ramirez, etc. were caught juicing. People in boxing are overly sensitive to that occurring and in fact I don't believe this fight breaks the PPV record of Mayweather-De La Hoya.

Besides what is going to take boxing, the ***** on forehead sport of MMA?

 

We can end the thread now.

 

Yep... and I do think boxing needs saving, but one fight ain't gonna do ****.

 

one big fight can set the whole entire sport ball rolling. One monster fihgt can spark new huge interest in the sport and catapolt it to a HIGHER LEVEL in the public conscious. Ali-Frazier I did that. So did Leonard-Duran and Hearns Leonard.

Just like Magic vs. Bird in NBA and Michael Jordan blew up the NBA to be huge sport.

If Boxing wants to explode to a higher level and regain a place in the public conscious, floyd must man up and fight Pacquiao. If floyd ducks the fight, he is costing the sport a huge opportunity to expand.

 

**** off.

and MMA is ****.

 

How does it save boxing ? the fight will come and go, there will be a winner and a looser and then the sport moves on.

 

:rofl

 

right now, this fight not happening and having everyone talking about how it might happen and all these people talking about Pacquiao vs Mayweather... That is better for boxing than if it happens and then one fighter wins and the other loses and then they both retire, which is probably what's gonna happen.

I think that the anticipation for a big fight keeps people talking about boxing and that's good for the sport.

 

No fight can "save" boxing, which doesnt really need saving, however serious adjustments could be made with the promoters or the organisations that would better the sport, if their is any area that boxing needs "saving", its outside the ring not in it.

 

If all of Mayweathers boring, one sided fights with carefully chosen opponents, or the dismal state of the heavyweight division haven't wrecked boxing, then it isn't in danger and needs no "saving".
We're all just waiting for the next best thing to come along. We speculate "maybe it'll be Haye", or 'maybe a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight', it all remains to be seen.
But boxing isn't going away and it doesn't need a douchebag like Mayweather to save it.
