Comments Thread For: Time To Give A Damn About The Middleweights Again

[TBear]

I have a feeling in the next year more middleweights will jump to super middleweight, it is where the big fights and money is. If Pavlik can get by Martinez, or even if he doesn't, look for him to do this too.

i think pavlik is the only one out of the top middleweights (or JMW) who could make that jump.

Which is why boxing is no longer a mainstream sport, and why, with the exception of a few superstars, most boxers make very little money. Because mainstream sports fans are interested in boxing as a sport, and they don't give a stuff how much money a fighter earns; and as a sport it's gradually losing all its credibility.

Lol ur funny Dave.Boxing hasn't been a mainstream sport for at the very least decade and half-2 decades now.Mainstream casual sports fans don't care about boxing as a sport, they care about outrageous character or shocking storylines that pertain to boxing.they don't appreciate a ward/gatti trilogy,a izzy/Marquez later this year, or roman/escalante fight earlier this year that was a tremendous FOY front runner, the crap that hits sportcenter or first take is drug testing headlines in boxing .u still going to have 1.5 mil-2 mil ppvs for pbf/ssm, u had over 50,000 at cowboys FOOTBALL stadium,u going to have cotto fight at a BASEBALL stadium across the seas u had over 50,000 at Taylor/aa fight.No other fighting sport is doing that type of numbers here in USA.if it don't make dollars it don't make sense now Dave..
