That Marcus Browne circus turned off some casual fans trying to get into boxing. I watched the fight with some people last night and all I heard was "this is why I don't watch boxing", " this is why I watch MMA", "this is why MMA is the fastest growing sport", blah blah blah.
On premium cable and smaller networks, this corruption goes on regularly but we as boxing fans are used to it and understand it. The house prospect just has to finish on his feet and he's safe.
But last night, boxing's ugly side was on display for millions of people who don't understand that concept and an opportunity to grow the sport and attract new fans was missed.
