I put Conner on ignore a while back. They do both share the same race obsession though

And posting style :chuckle9: My degree is in Literature and I've been hard-wired to analyse text :hah9:

just 12 simple answers from you will be sufficient instead of you ignoring the questions and spewing out your take on the situation which i believe to be lies and untruths

Come on Sonny, I know you can find plenty of things to criticize Lennox for that are fair and legitimate without bringing John Ruiz into the equation. It's well established that boxing fans would rather have their gentital assaulted with red-hot pincers than watch a marathon of John Ruiz fights. HBO didn't get to where they are by being fools with their money so they weren't going to shell out big bucks for a fight that would have resulted in ratings buzz-kill. Hell, I can barely watch Ruiz fight and I'm one of the most open-minded posters around here regarding stylistic considerations.

Boxing fans often forget that a major fight is not viable if a network won't buy it and it has no chance to make a profit on PPV.

How do they make their money on non ppv events? I know that make money from advertising and sponsorship, anything else?

Have you got a link for this?

Only a fighter with the mentality of James Toney would of given Witherspoon a shot. He would of been seen as a high risk/low reward opponent.

Are you serious?

The network buys the fight hoping that the event will attract new subscribers and please current ones, if that is what you mean.
