I specifically became aware of boxing in the mid 80s as a 9/10 year old. Being caught in the hype of legends such as Leonard, Hearns, Duran etc, etc..
Boxing needs those fights, and characters, that turn non fight fans into fight fans. Those that cross over and promote not only themselves but the sport itself, more so than any advertising campaign of limitless money could do.
The man sells his sport because of the man he is.
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are two examples of the exact thing boxing needs. **** your MMA ****e, and talk of boxing sinking. N.O.T H.AP.P.E.N.I.N.G.
This one fight will grab the whole worlds attention, like the 'Rumble in the Jungle' did, like 'The War' did, like Tyson Spinks did.
We are set for history and i cant ****ing wait.
