    Merchant: "Nothing will kill Boxing, and nothing will save it."

    @EricRaskin: Perfect line from Larry Merchant: "Nothing will kill boxing, and nothing can save it."

    Interesting words from a man who has been involved with Boxing for a long long time.

        Poetically said, but the fact is that it's easier to lose customers than it is to gain them. Too much ****** **** has been happening in boxing (mostly for the love of money) and I don't see it headed in a positive direction at the moment, unfortunately...

                    People said the same thing about DLH, when someone retires fans move on to the next big thing (which was Pacquiao).
