The worst cash grabs in boxing

[Ray Corso]

Sorry but the worse ever is Floyd & Manny everyone who bought that should have demanded a refund!
Next was Floyd & Berto just as lame as Floyd could be.

Tyson exhibition was an exhibition what do you think that means?

How was the Floyd and Berto fight more of a cash grab than this joke of a fight between Manny and Bradley for the third time?

[Ray Corso]

It was an exhibition, no way was Berto going to be competitive. He couldn't anyway.
His pay day was a gift from Floyd and it was a glorified spar session.

Boxing has become an over hyped game to fool the uneducated fan.
Just watch the prelim 6 rounders and see the intensity displayed. I'm not talking about skill set or talent levels just simple willingness to win and dominate.

I don't mind chess games it should always be part of boxing but there should also be a few minutes of a few rounds that becomes plain to see that someone is making the effort to dominate and change the momentum in the match.

When you see someone not follow up when they land it becomes a curious methodology display to me. If I hurt you or score well I need to follow up to assert dominance. When that doesn't happen your in "spar mode" to me.
Boxing is smart chess moves however there needs to be consequences involved to make it exciting and interesting.

Pacquiao vs Bradley 1 was a cash grab.

Intentionally rob Pacquiao so they make the wonderful trilogy that we're about to have.

Mike Tyson vs Peter "Hurricane" McNeeley. They even made a movie off that fight called The Great White Hype. It is one of the highest grossing fights in history and not because it was a competitive fight, but because it was his first fight out of jail and they did an excellent job hyping up the no-name opponent that most of the country could relate to.

"I'm Peter McNeely from Westminster, Mass. and I am here to kick Tyson's ass"

I was a kid and we had a big party for that fight. Nobody cared that McNeeley was terrible.

I don't think any other fighter can do those kind of numbers with that level of an opponent.

I was at a fight party for that also, Tyson was hype coming out of prison. It was an odd circumstance that allowed that fight to be huge, I think it could happen again it would have to be just right.
