Why would I spend my leisure time settling on being bored to tears? Yes boxing is a sport but sports are part of the entertainment business and yesterday's fight ******. Glad that I watched it on replay and spent my night at the fights in Brooklyn where there were some decent fights except for the Eubank/Korobov fight. Very dissapointed with the injury but according to clown man Barrett the purpose is to win so I guess that was a great fight as well!
    I'm a clown for stating the obvious? The purpose is to win. How is that not true?

      You have proven your "clown" status well before today's post.

        So is boxing a sport or a business? It can’t be both. I never read about boxing in the Business section of the papers though.

            Why can't it be both? It's obviously both. The promoters run a business, the networks run a business, the orgs are a business. Are you really this dumb?

              So why can’t I read about last nights fight in any business section of any paper?

                  Do you want me to explain that sports are part of the entertainment industry? Is a boring movie enthralling cinema just because the film was produced, directed, and completed? Where is the disconnect with you? What do you not understand? The idea is to be entertaining! I just finished watching the 49er's/Saint's game. Do you know why the game was so enjoyable? Because it was thrilling and exciting not just because the Niners won! Is that enough crap for your simple mind to understand?

                    You don't know what a business is so why would you be reading that section?
