Re: 2016: Halfway Mark.
Great observations. My biggest issue (not to be the bucket of cold water) is its like an election year in boxing. we benefit by having good fights made because everyone's promoter is pushing them to be the next star attraction now that Floyd and Manny have hung it up. The guy that had that accolade fall into his lap, just gave up a title instead, signed to liam smith, and is dragging his feet because he feels he has the prestige already in the bag. I wonder how bad the taper off will be next year once the landscape/star power pecking order has settled
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
