I was just reading the Cotto/Martinez thread regarding talks being off now because Arum couldn't make as much money as he wanted out of the fight...

Whether that is correct or not is not really my point.... Really, so much stuff at the top of boxing right now is all determined by money..
I'm not really that old, and didn't follow boxing the day I was born, so I don't have much experience of boxing in the 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's, aside from the classics that I have watched.... So some of you guys who know a lot more about those era's of boxing may be a little better equipped to judge this situation that I was wondering about..

Do you think this is probably the worst time for boxing in regards to fights only being made if the money is right? Or has that really been going on in boxing for as long as Prize Fighting has been around or was it as relevant right through as it is now
