No one would have given La Motta and Sugar Ray so much as a glance if they had an exhibition fight in the 70s.
You can actually pinpoint the exact period when boxing started to decline: when Mayweather and Wladimir rose to prominence in the mid-00s; two fighters who were so technically proficient that casuals stopped buying PPVs, heralding the eventual demise of HBO Boxing.Comment

Difference is, Ricky is looking for an exhibition with a fellow retired boxer, not a circus side show clinchfest with a Youtuber who is 0-1.Ricky was decrying Mayweather's fight with Logan Paul as a shameless cash grab a week or two ago but so long as he gets to top up his own bank account he's all for it. I'm losing respect for a lot of retired boxers I respected, get a sniff of money and they're willing to whore themselves and the prestige of the sport as a whole outComment
