Boxing didn't need saving.
And I loved the fight itself. DLH had a massive weight advantage so it's not hard to predict that there wasn't going to be toe to toe savagness in there.
What we got was a battle of wits, Maybe the unrivaled media attention made our expectations a little to high,but for those who looked at it without the media hype knew what we were in for...Also DLH did win;D
There is only person who "Saved" boxing. Not really saved it but put it back on the map and back into homes around the world.
I have that issue still actually, the article is about boxing weathering the storm of MMA, which had it's biggest PPV later in that month with Liddell/Rampage.
In the end, they coexisted, MMA and boxing coexist that's just how it is. Neither take away from their fanbase that much really, at least I wouldn't think I have some really smart things to say about this but I won't now. Just saying that is what the title is relating to, it wasn't about it being a great fight it was just a question of whether it can be a big draw. Obviously, it was with over 2 million buys.
