    Instinctively mankind throughout history, has been intrigued, shocked, appalled, and entertained by violence in all its forms 'look at the state of the certain folk, and the masses of people who would debate about military conflicts. Do you really think all of those people deeply, and empathically cared about what was happening? No. A part of their character is entertained'.

    Note: Boxing is a concentrated and refined form of competitive violence 'for 1000's of years, mankind has been intrigued by it as a spectacle. And this will most likely continue, because like I have just stated? Violence is a very fundamental and primordial part of our character'.

    Also, people need to stop letting casual sports fans 'run their lives. Seriously? I could not care less what; a individual thinks who only has surface level interests in many subjects or a chosen sport. They are not completely irrelevant to the business of boxing, but to me personally? They are like those back ground characters on a computer game just going around and around'.

    Take a look at society, those kinds of people will watch 'what they are told to watch'. And they may be entertained and inspired for a few short moments, then quickly phase out and be focusing on something else in their lives. So don't be too concerned with them'.

    Those kinds of people, don't hold up any sort of business or sport over the long term 'it is the hardcore fans, and the actual boxers who maintain the sport. These are the facts of life. Because those types of people will put a much greater effort into following the sport, and learning about the history'.

    Terrence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez 'is just one fight. This time next week, the large majority of people who watched the event 'most likely will not be thinking about it'.

    I don't usually spend much time in these sorts of threads, I think the topic is banal. Most people really should agree with me on that point, you don't see no other sports criticising itself like this continually.

    I wonder sometimes, what makes a person? Get up in the morning, and make these sort of statements? What is the actual process that is going on? From a to b? Or 1 to 10? Because you know this same thread, and statement has been said many times over. For years and decades'.

    Mankind has kind of attempted to remove itself from nature 'and it has created a more civilized society. Now compared to 1000 years ago, the entertainments and interests of certain folk may have altered. We see this with social media, and the rise of more save and civilized sports like Soccer, Basketball, and Tennis'.

    Combats sports and the fundamental raw athletic sports i.e Track and Field Athletics and the original Olympic sports. Those sports are echoes of the past, and what truly matters in nature. Which is? Can you fight and how great of an athlete are you'.

    In my opinion boxing is doing fine, it has never not been doing fine 'throughout my entire life'.

    So I don't know what certain folk want to save it from, and what are the aims of these initiatives? Boxing in reality is a competitive and very dangerous sport. As much as the sport wants to attract and promote itself to the masses, people must acknowledge and understand what the activity of boxing is. It is not a game'.

    I personally don't think this fight is a bigger global boxing event than Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk I & II or even Anthony Joshua vs anyone. Honestly. It will most likely get many observers in the same way; people watch new movie releases'.

    But do those same people suddenly become film directors or actors? No. Because it takes a high level of consistency and work ethic. To pursue such ventures, just like in boxing. And the only people that are going to be game for that sort if lifestyle are hardcore boxing fans, aspiring amateur or professional boxers. And those sort of people don't just appear over night'.

    To conclude: This is not the biggest fight Canelo Alvarez has been involved in 'his fight against Floyd Mayweather Junior was much bigger global event'. I rate this boxing event, as entertainment for the moment for many people. But then that moment will pass, and a large majority of those observers may move on to casually be interested in another sport. I am fine with that result'.

    Because with certain demographics, this is how they behave every 4 years with the Olympics, every Soccer or Rugby World Cup. Everyone Grand Slam Tennis Tournament. The list can go on.

    And I want to conclude by saying this? Those types of people, don't maintain and build any business or sport 'because what maintains and builds any sports. Is consistency, passion and work ethic, and it is only the hardcore boxing fans, amateur and professional fighters with their coaches who bring that sort of lifestyle and game' etc.

      - Jellymon told us Roy Jr was better than Ali, Louis, and Dempsey.

      Of course soon he just a quivering blob of jelly...

        Kosher Kellerman was lousy at his job, pushing his militant political agendas. ****** move to bring back this minor leaguer. Bring back Sean OGrady or some new energy like Renaldo Snipes or Antonio Tarver.

          If they wanted to promote sport, they should have had Fury-Usyk and Bivol - Beterbiev on netflix.
          - - Y U not on Howdy Doody show?

                that will be fake paul v tank

                this will be a real fight too much pride too much everything on the line, bud does not want to end up being called another charlo with his efforts in that fight coming up in weight too, i think bud has too much pride to be called a fake lion who showed up just for a cheque

                  He's getting about $40 million to sell out. You would too.

                    we shall see i would be pretty shocked if he sells out, im expecting a close fight

                    as for purses there is varying reports of them & we will not know what they really are but i suspect both are getting very nice paydays
