    It's a man's game. This was nothing. Tyson bit a man's ear off in the ring.

          Not the point though, is it? Obviously they see it as a detriment to the sport. What would they know though, right?

            Until a fucking 40,000 seat stadium is sold out, and everybody involved that "cares" about the sport gets a payday off it, right?

            Sky makes million's, right?

            Promoter's, right?

                Fighters are calling it a disgrace. Promoters are calling it a disgrace. The general public, the media, all calling it a disgrace. But what would they know that you don't, right? How many, Fighters, promoters, media types or anyone else has publicly come out and said "Yes, this is just what boxing needed!!"? You know why that hasn't happened? Because people don't like it!

                  That's the whole point. This adds nothing positive, it only detracts. What business is more prosperous, the one with the negative rep or the one with the positive?

                    So adding bad rep to a "dirty" sport is a good thing?

                      And boxing doesn't have a positive rep to begin with.It's a unique sport that can't be compared to any other sport that isn't related to fighting.


                      As for being prosperous - should this fight be made,it will have absolutely no trouble selling.
