Please quote me where I called you dumb.
I already agreed with you that WW division is the worst we’ve ever seen. If Boots is staying at 147, he’s only doing so to unify. Once again, while the trinkets mean zilch to you and I, for marketing purposes and historical records, “the 2nd man to unify 147 division” is a selling point.
Saudi Arabia will pay big money to stage such mismatches. Somehow, boxers and fans from other parts of the world put Americans on lofty pedestals. Do you recall when Broner was rumored to fight in the UK and how the UK fans kept raving about him being an American champ or former champ?
Perfect example is Pacqiao - dude is revered for being the “only 8 division champ in history” but when you slice and dice that record, it’s a joke of a resume with some dubious catchweights to add to the 8 division BS.
The business side of boxing will never be a thing to admire but it is what it is.
