Oh I agree in terms of making money. Even the Khan fight would probably make more money that any of the 3 I mentioned.
I just think it's sad that boxing has been reduced to that. It's like the old snake oil elixir salesmen that would show up in their wagon, put on a show, talk a great game, grab every nickel they could and then GTFO of there.
Boxing fans have been fed shit for so long that they've acquired a taste for it.
That kind of stuff would never fly in the UFC. Dana White shoehorned Chael Sonnen into a few big fights because he talked a good game and was a big draw, and the UFC got slammed for it, because MMA fans demand fights that make sense.
Boxing fans don't seem to care about fights that make sense. All that matters is Pac can throw hard, fast punches and might beat Mayweather so why not give him a shot.
