    Jesus. Everything is killing the sport. Get.. the.. ****.. out.. of.. here.

    The sport is fine. They continue to make money and they will continue to fight. Simple as that.

    You know what happens when the two best fighters in a division fight each other? Usually.. surprise surprise!... they are evenly matched. So, it becomes a chess match.

    So.. lemme get this straight. The best should fight the best.. but should also fight like idiots in hopes of living up to the hype even if it throws them off of their gameplans? Perfect sense, sir.

    Please. Everything is killing the sport. Global warming. Cancer. Health Care Reform. The ***** on **** stars vaginas.

    Boxing needs help!

      the crowd was quiet,poor that they didnt get a bigger or better crowd to pump some atmoshphere there and try urge both to have stepped it up more.

      both too respectful and equally matched.

      Bradley deserved the win.

      neither are future p4p atg hall of famers,just good solid fighters.

      i do think khan has the superior skills and that will show.

        Weak, Boring, etc., it was still the best fighting the best. The so called money makers in the sport aren't doing it. From Pac to Mayweather.

            it happens though. Clottey vs Pacqauiao was even weaker. Mayweather vs Marquez was weaker. It happens, it's boxing, not every fight is great. Wish they were.

            This is true for every sport. Not every super bowl in the NFL is competitive and exciting. For every close super bowl there are 3 weak ones.

              I don't understand WTF are people complaining about?

              Was it a let down? I mean what did you expect FOTY?

              We need more fights like this in boxing. If you think fights like these are killing the sports you're a F'ing idiot. It's fights like Pac-Mosley, Cotto-Mayorga on PPV that are killing the sport you dumb truck.

              Now did HBO overpay for this fight? You damn right they did. I mean Bradley got almost the same amount that Pac and JMM did put together in there first fight on regular HBO. You can't tell me that this fight going in was more important or more hyped than Pac(got paid 700k)-JMM(got paid 500k). For both fighters to get a 7 figures, and to a pay over 3mil to host this fight was ridiculous on the part of HBO.

              And, I doubt they will have a rematch, so to put somewhat of high % of their budget for this one fight was ******. They did the right thing and put this fight together but they were ****** like always and overpaid for this fight.

              They should do more fights like these but pay accordingly so they won't blow their budget.

                You get some good fights, and you get some bad.

                Styles make the difference.

                At the end of the day, we got to see two undefeated fighters in their prime, something we rarely see in modern boxing.
                Its not like other sports where we get so see a good game every other day or week. This is boxing. We maybe get a really good matchup every few months (if that). So to wait this long then have a fight like this occur, its quite dissapointing.

                  Boxing needs to have more of the best fight the best. The fact the fight was a let down, well **** happens.

                  HBO was still right for trying to do the right thing - putting the top guys in the division fight eachother.

                  It's rare you see two undefeated champs in a unification bout. Only on boxingscene will people complain about it.
                  Thank you. People complain a lot about boxing decline but half the problem as far, as far as I'm concerned, lies in the fan base. I didn't think it was a bad fight or event but what will casuals think when all the fans do is ***** about the fight.

                  If you're to look at the support football ( soccer) teams receive, minus the violence, some boxing fans truly sicken me.

                    The sad thing is the people complaining will likely love these fights as they will be straight forward one sided beat downs.
