    Boxing is reverting back to the dark age again

    Not to many years ago, the sport was plagued by egos and greed from both promoters and fighters. during this time, ***** cards and fights were made giving boxing fans little to enjoy and haters more ammunition.

    it's slowly creeping back into that rut. we had a great run 2007-2008, but now in 2009, we have Mayweather, Lopez, Pavlik and now, sadly, Pacquiao pushing the sport back over the bridge.

      I think that the global recession has impacted boxing, just as it has impacted everything else. There's not going to be as many boxing matches this year compared to 06-08...

              I giv epac credit for making it exciting and cleaning out the bull****. But now mayweathers back. All im hearing about is who can draw this and who sold more ppv that.

              Im with you 2501.

              I think we just need Floyd to stay retired

                Yeah. There were two good fights that i can think of: Mosely vs. Margo and JMM vs. Diaz.

                    indeed, but then again, I never cared for Margarito. You know that.
