Now i know that pattern doesn't follow throughout boxing. A guy like Crawford might end up being a great fighter but make little money but i think when you're exceptionally gifted like Manny or Floyd, you will rise to the top regardless and earn a lot of money.
So in my opinion, it doesn't need hypejobs as much as it needs more special fighters like Floyd and Manny because they're the ones who keep the spotlight on the sport in the end, not your Adrien Broners of the world.
Don't get me wrong though, i agree with you to some extent because it makes us tune in, often wanting them to get beat if we believe they are just hype.
I think it needs hypejobs to keep it ticking over but dont underestimate the need for genuine special talent. That is essential.
