"Fighting Words" - Networks Should Invest More in 'Now'
by David P. Greisman - In one way, investing in a boxer is like investing in a retirement fund, putting money in on potential, on the promise of a worthwhile payout that will not be seen until much later. In another way, investing in a boxer is like investing in a business, a premise with a historically high probability of failure, of not being worth it in the long run – but a premise that still lures in the dreamers (and the suckers) with the occasionally phenomenal jackpot. The overly optimistic would point out that for every Francisco Bojado and Ricardo Williams Jr. who fails to meet expectations, there is a Miguel Cotto and an Oscar De La Hoya who not only meets, but exceeds them. The overly optimistic would be wrong. There are more cautionary tales than there are success stories. Not every investment in a boxer will be a winner.

The sporting world is one of revolving doors, future stars appearing, then ascending, and finally reigning before retiring, all as their eventual replacements follow farther back in the cycle.

On paper it didn’t look like a meaningful fight. In the ring, it didn’t look like one either. The Manny Pacquiao express moves on, Shane Mosley should retire, and Jorge Arce rocked it. Any questions?

Manny Pacquiao might not be the most famous athlete in the world right now. He’s not far off. The U.S. is sometimes slow to embrace foreign-born fighters but when they do, the love affair is usually full blown. Roberto Duran and Julio Cesar Chavez experienced it.

It’s the calm before the… …sorry. Can’t go there. Storm just doesn’t cut it when describing the fight on May 7. Maybe, and a soft maybe at that, Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley turns into a memorable classic. Chances are, it’s a one sided affair that lives down to the expectations of fight fans who know more names than just “Manny.”
