      i had to watch it but i didnt have any real excitement for it is the best way i can explain it i think, i think that years ago drama between the two of them was a real low point in boxing, still to this day both camps blame each other and it crops up now and then, best left alone at this stage i would say

        A bunch of Ali fights. Ali vs Foreman, Frazier I and III sold $60m, $60m and $45m in PPV and closed circuit revenue. Adjusted for inflation today the $60m is $362m revenue.

        It doesn’t matter what you think about the price of the PPV in the 70s. Generating $60m in PPV and closed circuit in the 70s was huge. And worldwide it sold $100m total.

        Just imagine if Terence Crawford today, could generate even $60 million dollars? In his best PPV fight he sold what, 150k at $70 vs Khan? That’s about $10m. That’s in the 2010s. So imagine Ali’s drawing power in the 1970s to generate $60m (+gate revenue). His drawing power was otherworldly.

        A lot of Mike Tyson and DLH fights too. Namely DLH - Trinidad was huge. Tyson - Holyfield, Tyson - Lewis

          Floyd's per round clinching was out numbering landed punches 25-1
          Whatever you say about Mayweather as you obsess over him with your hatred all these years, just remember, he has a much better life than you will ever have, worked harder than you, is looked up to by more people than you, has helped more people than you’ll ever help, and was way better at his job than you’ll ever be at your job as a McDonald’s assistant manager.

            I recall there was little to no promo material and no really one press conference apart from when they officially announced it.

            The world had been waiting years for that fight so I guess it sold itself. Where there any other big fights (apart from the obvious) where the same occurred?
            Tyson, Delahoya, Holyfield, Chavez, Trinidad, Moseley, Morales, Barrera. All fighters who actually fought in the ring and took chances. They gave it there all. Unlike MOST of today’s millennial fighters. Bunch of pooseys.

                  I know you’re a dumb phuck but what does your conspiracy theory have to do with my post or this thread? Reading comprehension dumb phuck.

                  Whose alt are you? Why are you so afraid to say? You couldn’t have been as much of a douche bag then as you are now.

                  Only a pedophile would chose Uncle Sneaky Touch as a username.

                      Fury got the bank and the crowd. Nash out
