It was sad seeing Ali as a shadow of himself, but strangely I found the fight quite entertaining and competitive. Ali wasn't nearly as bad as he was against Holmes.........
Now Ali vs Holmes was truely painful to watch!

surprised Ali vs. Holmes hasn't been mentioned more. A legend of the sport brutalised despite being so far gone he could barely win a shadow boxing match. All for the benefit of casinos and tv. Not to mention all the idiocy building up to it with ali being given muscle destroying drugs to keep his weight down.
Also this was fairly depressing.

bradley and alexander has to be on the list considering that it almost bankrupted HBO boxing and ate about 1/4 of its budget for the year for off ppv
and heads rolled after that one, too.
mosley and pacquiao was a bit let down too
and lots of the fights this year on solo boxeo tecate. bad matchmaking and record padding
that might be the worst boxing show on TV. the only exciting fights are the swing bouts with nobodies // club fighters swingin for four rounds
froch vs dirrell
for some reason, and i'm not complaining, bad fights just dont stay in mind for longLast edited by New England; 10-19-2011, 10:08 AM.

As long as they keep a pay per view system buyers remorse will ensure bad fights lead to a loss of fans. It's such clear short-termism.

in arums//kings case i cant say i blame the guy
after all, those guys are in their 80's
there's no fifteen year plan for them
the rest of them are very guilty and you make a great point
boxing habitually compromises itself
