Boxing sells boxing or it should! That's what pisses me off about Hopkins' executioner mask, extended ring entrances, Wilder's puffed up boxing record, cheating bastards on PEDS, cheating bastards tampering with gloves, cheating promoters, pissant belts, pissant boxing orgs.
I could go on and on, and now you are asking if we should 'sell' boxing by allowing phony shit in the ring. I'm glad you are only asking because if you were suggesting we should, I'd be suggesting that your head would look good on a pole on the side of the road!
Would you really enjoy boxing more if you knew there was phony shit going on during a fight?
Without a doubt, there is more cheating/phony shit in boxing than ever before but let's do everything we can to keep the actual fights as real as possible.
