Now that Pac/Mosley is signed, should we support it for boxing's sake?

Is that there WON'T BE RANDOM OST! Both these guys could be roided up to the GILLS, and get away with it (as Mosley already has done in previous fights, which he ADMITTED.) This is not what boxing is ALL ABOUT. Boxing is about PROFESSIONALISM! Boxing is an OLYMPIC SPORT! Let's keep the sport's integrity in check! If you pay for this fight, you're basically saying, "I want to see a 40 year old man make millions of dollars for getting his ass kicked on pay-per-view." For instance: I wasn't alive when Ali/Holmes happened. But Ali took the fight because he was promised $8million for the fight, which was UNHEARD OF at the time. (1980.) Holmes was 31 years old, and Ali was 38 years old. Holmes was CLEARLY the better fighter, and Ali stood NO CHANCE what so ever from the get-go. Ali probably KNEW this............but money talks. What happened? Ali got whooped BADLY, and probably now suffers from brain damage due to this and the Berbick fight. Now, I'm only 25 years old, and these fights were before my time..........but why should a legend go out like that for a payday? Same thing could happen here with Mosley. Don't pay for this fight. It's a sham.
    I will pay for it alright. I honestly don't care about the outcome. I want to see how they fight each other, their styles, mistakes, defenses, etc etc.

    You brought up about both fighters on roids but stated only Mosley admiting using it. Isn't it unprofessional to accuse both if you have confirmation from only one?

    While boxing is an Olympic sport, I understand pro boxing isn't govern by said sports organization. Most other professional sports don't use OSDT. Am I right here?

    Is it practical to use OSDT in boxing? or is it applicable only to Pac and Mosley in your book?

      Good for you... Watch all the prize fights. You can learn alot about the sports just by watching them. You will fall in love with the sports soon enough. I started the same way.

      Love the sport, don't hate on the fighters. They are risking their lives just by getting in the ring to entertain fans. You hate, you lose rational perspective.

          It is the duty of a boxing fan to not support the very thing that's killing it!!If Pacman chose Berto,or Martinez he would have had 100% support by everyone!!But top rank's agenda is clear,milk the fans & get payed,Margarito was a horrible,horrible event & this doesn't help that fact,**** this fight.

            I'll gladly watch it. And even though Pacquiao deserves one, this is no easy payday.

              I won't order it, my mom nor other family members won't order it either. They said the same thing with the Margarito fight. However this was before 24/7. When 24/7 comes along they change their minds and have a party. So I'll most likely watch it, but I'm not paying for it.
