PBC on Spike draws 507,000

Boxing is so f*cked. This sport needs major surgery and it doesn't look like anybody is taking the future seriously. As much as people say they lament the 90's scene, it at least was a power player in mainstream sports. I just read that McClellan vs Benn was like 17million viewers on cable television. Now, breaking a million is a major task. Even with a major "super fight" miraculously put together against all odds of both guys probably pulling out, the numbers still aren't there (Broner vs Porter, Garcia vs Peterson, Thurman vs Porter). If the crop of today's fighters are serious, then they are going to have to put the sport on their back and compete and produce major entertainment. The strong will survive while the weak will be defeated accordingly. The constant flow of boxing right now is a ponzi scheme designed to protect mediocre fighters at the top and cement their place by not competing like a champion should. Its all smoke and mirrors now, we are supposed to believe a shot Malignaggi is a legit contender for undefeated "superstars) like Garciadude update you're p4p list fraud is retired Gonzalez is number 1.
