things have changed , unfication fights sounds like wet dreams 7 years later...
can you imagine HBO putting those 3 on consecutive weekends? no wonder boxing needed a minute to recruit new fans...
During that time was Boxing's lowest peroid I believe.
They had to think of something drastic.
I got this emailed to me by an annonymous sneder a few years ago.
"What 2 fighters can we market for a future fight that have the most obsessive and retarded fanboys, one of them has to be a ducker and the other one has to be on steroids. The ducker will keep going on vacation and the steroid user will constantly refuse to take a test. And the beauty of it is, in the end, they won't even fight each other. The hype alone will revive Boxing. And throughout this whole process the fanboys will actually justify every move each one of them makes. But the question is; Who do we have that tick this boxes...............?"
!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I got it!!! Manny Pacqiuao and Floyd Mayweather!!!! Perfect!"
Good God, their plan actually worked
Boxing went to sleep when those were the champions. Imagine that the higher weights barely made noise when the guys at the lower weight divisions caused massive noise.
the sanctionimg bodies and promoters have went out of their way to make it damn near impossible to unify in boxing. That's the new boxing world we live in and that's why being champ doesn't mean as much as it used to.
