R.I.P. boxing 1867-2011
So, when will the idiots in charge of the sport (and God knows who that actually is) realise that what they are doing is going to kill boxing, and by extension their cash cow?
Please add to my list of events in 2011, which is just off the top of my head (and all from major fights!!!), of decisions that are ultimately going to stop fans from giving a shit (or PPV money) again:
Russell Mora's refereeing in the Bantamweight tournament final.
V. Klitschko beating an out-of-shape Solis by injury in round one.
W. Klitschko beating David Haye over twelve dull rounds.
Zab Judah quitting against Amir Khan.
The Paul McCloskey v Khan stoppage.
The Dawson v Hopkins fight.
And of course Pacquiao v Marquez.
Of course, this is all ready on top of the two best fighters not fighting each other, the alphabet boys, the W.B.A. having multiple champions at the same weight, the W.B.C. Diamond belt and all the other shit..
You do a commercial and you're off the artistic roll call... forever
