    Boxing...Business...Sport...Love...

    With this latest development about TMT going down the tubes and now all of the sudden talk of "joint" ventures between 50 Pac and May it further drives the point across that for Boxers and all involved in the PRO boxing game IT IS A BUSINESS first type of world now...

    Many of you fans don't understand that and are so blinded by "love/like" and "hate/dislike" of a given boxer that you refuse to see it...

    We like to idolize and put our "heros" in such high pedestals that many times those folks who go to those extremes don't see (Don't want to see) the truth...it is a business first and sport second...

    so where is the love?? the love is in two places....first in the amateur ranks but this fades away by turning pro and having to make a living...you would think this would return once you have made it big and don't need the money...but at the end of the day if you have 1 million you want 2...if you have 2 you want 4...and so on and so forth...it never ends it's human nature...

    The place were the LOVE for the sport LIVES is with us the fans.... if we didn't love this sport it would have died many years ago....for better or for worst we love this sport...the clowns fighting for every penny up in the ranks are all about making money...not about loving the sport...and if this latest development doesn't drive the point across to you die hard Manny/Floyd fans...well then I guess you just haven't chosen to take off your blind fold just yet....they do say "Ignorance is Bliss"....enjoy your "bliss"

    true story.....
