Boxing needs this Mayweather vs Pac fight along with the new exposure PBC will get to bring this sport back from the dead. Seriously, you guys are living in an alternate reality if you think boxing is nearly as big as MMA is right now and one can only hope Pac vs Floyd and the upcoming PBC can help restore some of the sports credibility over time. As for the here and now the UFC is the premier product for fight fans, at least from a mainstream POV.

That's the silliest thing I've read all month. Thanks for that.
Personally, of all the sports fans I know a few actively watch UFC and nobody watches boxing. Boxing really needs this upcoming fight and the PBC stuff because its seriously hurting.
So are we assuming that the true champion in each divis is the champion notated on the Transnational Boxing Rankings website, or is there a sanctioning body who outranks all the others?
So, with all of these cards coming to national television would it be safe to say that should the PBC be a success that boxing is back and in a big way? A lot of that will probably depend upon how the sports media adopts it, if they do....
I'm hoping ESPN, as well as other sports outlets, cover PBC results on their programs with highlights and such, it would be good to see boxing constantly discussed on television by sports analysts who aren't married to the sport. Mainstream is the key here.
For something as big as this you'd figure people would want to discuss it, not make retarded comments. Wow, the state of boxing's fans is as bad as the sport itself.
