Is a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight bad for boxing?
Obviously its the biggest fight that can be made and us as boxing fans love the sport and we know these arent the last 2 guys but you get the feeling that in the mainstream, once they fight then boxing will be dead again. Thats all the public really cares about. Im not saying the fight should never happened but maybe its best if we string it out a little longer.
Whats really upsetting to me is that you have real boxing people like Kenny & Rafeal on ESPN saying that basically there is no other real fights in boxing and nothing else can be made. Then Scully is on ESPN saying that there is no other big or good fights out there. They werent saying it like Pac-May is #1. We all know that. They were saying it like there is no other fights that are big. Merchant & Steward basically said the same thing during the fight. I think thats bad for the sport.
I heard Lampley ask them and I heard the ESPN guys ask the others, who are some other big fights that they could take. Who else can challange them or would even be an intriguing fight and all of them basically said nobody. How could they not mention Paul Williams name, espcially when he fights this week. Its like they are killing there own sport. They couldve touted Williams as maybe the best or atleast a very worthy challanger and then maybe alot of people would tune in this week to watch him. Instead they ****ed it up.
Its bad enough when the mainstream thinks boxing sucks and is only Pac & Floyd. We got idiot boxing people basically telling the public that. I just think there could be a massive letdown after that fight, e****ally if Pac wins. If Pac loses then I think people like him enough where they would still like to see him fight other guys but how many fights do either guys really have in them? They are both stinking rich. Sure they look like they can fight for years but will they? Sometimes I think the only good think that comes out of that fight right now is if it ends up being a trilogy or something.
