Light Heavyweights: Booming When The Market is Bust

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

You may not have noticed, but we are in a horrific recession. The housing market is bleak at best, gas prices are crippling many Americans, and even longtime American Icon Anheuser Busch sold out to a Belgium company. The economy, for lack of a better term - sucks. The other day Steve Kim penned a poignant piece in regards to our poor economy and HBO’s recent affinity for posting pay-per-views. With that in mind, while all these PPV’s are draining us the consumer, and ultimately boxing; if the major TV execs would stay away from that platform this recession could be good for boxing.

its a permanent recession, china and india are only going to get stronger, so how can that be good for boxing? talented athletes will go to other sports, to get more money, as there already doing in the states

way to not really read the article. But its good for boxing when the best fight the best. When as like now, fans will only buy the premium fights, then that is all the promoters will have to give us. If not they lose too. It's a perverse way of cleaning up some of the nonsense.

Dawson-Tarver is good for the division. It's been in the makin for a while. I just hope Dawson wins it.

I don't remember the bublegum lips comment, but that brought a chuckle out in me. Well unfortunately Dawson isn't as quick-witted as Hopkins, but has quicker hands.
