Boxing; The Dying Sport.

MMA isn't killing boxing. The boxers themselves promoters are doing a fine job. MMA is just filling in the void.

poor america :bottle::bottle: im pretty sure boxing is just fine everywhere else. If you want to watch grown as men touch gloves and hug, NFL just about to begin. If you are a boxing fan I would advise you to support boxing in America. Just sayin'.

The whole sports world is talking about last nights fight right now, **** it was even on the front page of my local paper and they havent covered any boxing for years. This card got superbowl like hype

I agree. And posters saying you're whining are the problem as well. The sport is doing poorly in America and incidents like this and fans that condone it are to blame. When they get older they'll realize this hopefully. poor america :bottle::bottle: im pretty sure boxing is just fine everywhere else.

Classless & an embarrassment for the sport that Mayweather is. A couple things, the best fighter in the world shouldn't need to do that in order to win. Cortez, when was the last time this controversial ref headlined a main event since his last **** up? Why was he looking away after saying box? What exactly happened to sportsmanship? Boxing is a ****ing soap opera since the passing of the real boxers who had respect for one another, who understood the ethics & moral code & of course the un-written rules of boxing. This whole Mayweather vs Pac is the only thing keeping the sport alive to be honest. They needed some controversy like this, to keep people buzzin about the dying sport. Obviously I'm not one siding cause what Ortiz was dirty as well, but how can you compare a young kids decision to that of a grown man who's intention is to clean up the sport or should I say "his sport" since he claims he's the face of boxing. Your suppose to be the example for these young guns, the best in the game. It's one thing to be rich & arrogant but it's another to be a classless worthless piece of ****. My favorite sport will officially die November 12th when Marquez gets cheated yet again in hope to secure things for the "$100 million fight". I agree.

I agree with this Green K for clear thinking

Controversy has always surrounded the sport. It's why people love it, it's why the world considers it the best combat sport, its the reason why great movies are made about it. Your an idiot go away. I agree with this

LMAO boxing dying? it is thriving, I see Pactards wearing Pactard attire all the time and constantly have to remind them that Floyd is > Pac on any level. the PPV's will be through the roof, and Pac vs Floyd IS the most anticipated sport event in the world. MMA is a fad, and Ortiz is just no where near Floyd and never will be, but he had more credibility than Pac's last string of opponents who will probably eat a loss from JMM who has his number anyway.

Winning> Sportsmanship Learn from the best! Boxing is climbing back baybay! Watch out Dana! Unfortunately for your prediction, many boxing events have already been scheduled for after Nov 12, so boxing will stay alive.

People have been saying Boxing has been dying since 1900. Yet it still has the most anticipated sporting event in the world.

Genesis your a ****ing retard, controversy is what's been killing the sport and obviously the more and more obvious the soap opera gets...the more boxing digs itself deeper. Corruption.

It was perfectly legal, all this **** about ****ing class. Blah blah blah bore off! Getting rather sick of these posts being repeated by the same *****es. If you don't like boxing or Floyd, don't watch it simple. Wtf would you know about class? You aren't fit to hold Floyds jockstrap. Yh Mayweathers an embarrassment to boxing, feel free to top yourself, the guy has done more for the sport than all of you clowns put together.
