Mayweather-Pacquiao: Bring it

I'd watch Klitschko versus Ray Lewis.

 

Lewis was always very articulate.

 

I'd also like to see ex-presidents box each other. Could Obama beat the shit out of Carter?

Better yet, make it MMA style.

 

Lewis was unprepared against Rahman and McCall, and he was getting his ass kicked against Vitali until he luckboxed his way out of that.

He only knock on Lewis his whole career was that he was great, but could've been so much greater.

 

Anyone know of a fantasy boxing league?

 

Yep.

NBC is going to give it a solid try...they are spending some real money to jumpstart the sport.

This. People will watch, and I look forward to it a little bit, but it would have been HUGE five or six years ago. People have been clamoring for this fight for years, and now we finally get it when both guys are past their primes. Just annoying, and a big reason boxing has become irrelevant.

 

My love of boxing has been taken over by watching MMA. That being said I would rather watch a great boxing match than a great MMA fight.

As other have noted, trouble with boxing is being able to see any of it for free. I used to love watching Friday Night Fights whenever one of the Canadian networks would pick it up.

I still remember all the times we would pony up to watch the big fights in the bar because home PPV was not a thing yet. The last fight I went to a bar for was Tyson vs Spinks. The last fight that I paid for on PPV was Holyfield vs Tyson.

Side story on Manny: He held a billiards tounament in the Phillipines this past weekend that is apparently shorting players. Doesn't look like he is involved but some family and in-laws might be.
