    What do you think the news is, to have people live in fear. Read in between the lines when you watch the news at night, compare the bad to the good and see what's really going on.

      I for one love that this is a competition. Boxing has made a ridiulous schedule of fights and that has to be in large part a piece of this rivalry. Hell, boxing is getting ready to put up some crowds that are awe-inspiring and that plays on pshyche.

        Calzaghe versus Kessler is on HBO and it is a unification bout between the two top-rated super middleweights.

          HBO isn't free; it's the next best thing but it's not free. Technically, no cable is but the % of people without cable is low. The % of cablers without HBO is pretty strong.

            Well, Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy IBF, WBO unification fight was live free to view nationwide throughout Britain on ITV.

            Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko, World Heavyweight title fight was on regular HBO rather than HBO PPV

            Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman, World Heavyweight title fight was live free to view on BBC1 throughout Britain.

            Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson, World Heavyweight title fight was shown 6 hours tape delay later on free to view nationwide tv on BBC1 throughout Britain.

            I could go on.......

                I think the reason boxing fans don't like MMA is because when the MMA guys hit the ground there is a point where the action does not continue they just roll around trying to grapple or get into a position for submission. I used to wrestle in High School and believe me that **** is not easy there is a skill in the grappling. I will be honest thou I do not like MMA much. I'd rather watch hand to hand combat then watching legs flying and knocking out the opponent or a quick ass submission. Boxing is an art form that takes a lifetime to master.

                  Who cares if grappling takes skill, cause in the end, its still painful to watch. Just like the casual fan when watching Mayweather Jr. It takes tons of skills to do what he does, but in the end people find it hard to watch. Its funny to me how on these UFC shows, the crowd cheers when the fighters stand up after grappling. That says a lot.

                    Henderson vs. Rampage. A fight between 2 for one existing promotion only title by a still existing promotion. Where's boxing's version?
