Seriously, the **** that went on today/tonight, Klit vs. Rhakman, Toney vs. Quedo or whatever, those fights were bad for boxing. I mean, they weren't HORRIBLE fights, but networks can spend this money for better, entertaining fights.

wlad dont draw squat in u.s. but in germany he's big.
but it seems you mean horrible hvwt division.

it just turned potential fans away from the sport. We present these events as supposed competitive HW fights, people expect to see some actual HW fighting and they don't get it. This is the NORM in the HW division now and it does nothing to help grow the sport. Every other major sport, there is focus on GROWING it, NBA, NFL, NBA and even UFC. Not Boxing. It feels like every business man involved in the sport is trying to get the most **** for their buck before the bubble finally bursts on it.

From a hisorical point of view why not keep showing the heavyweights, been a long time since we seen a white Heavyweight Champion. Imo, if Lewis had not retired even as old as he'd be now as Champion, he'd still be unified Champion. Of course then it'd only be months before one of the Klitckos would catch Lewis ageing and thats because they'd get another title shot.
