    Recent Fights, State of Boxing.

    With the DLH vs Pacman still fresh in mind. Did we the Fans get what we paid for? Millions of dollars involved to watch a less than spectacular sparring session. Was it worth it. Was it worth to see Jones vs Calzaghe? And see the legend get slaughtered, was it worth seeing Trinidad Vs Jones.

    What we have in 2008 is a slew of unnecessary match ups. Fights that add nothing to boxing should not happen, and should not be allow to continue. 2007 was a great year for boxing , 2008 was disappointing.

      I got to watch all the PPV's and only had to pay for 1, so that didn't bother me too much. But the simple fact that there are all these PPV's is a problem. There were plenty of good fights this year tho.

        i enjoyed PAC/DLH. boxing in general in 2008 wasnt a disapointment. they just put some fights on ppv that shouldn hav been on PPV. thats why the numbers suck. hopefully they will learn from there mistakes. 2009 looks promising from what i can tell. alot of good fights seem to be on the horizon

          What we need is the following
          • Stop feeding Klitskco with BS fighter and unite the division
          • Get the alphabet soup bodies to unite and create a super champion for every division
          • Stop giving OLD fighters the sweetheart deal of title fights
