The sport of boxing after Mayweather and Klitschko

I just can't see the retirement of a couple of fighters having a drastic effect on boxing.

We're not talking about a "couple of fighters", we're talking about the two biggest draws in boxing history. You can take every single boxer currently fighting and add up all the money they generate, and it wouldn't even come close to matching what these guys make. And that money is going to be gone sooner than later: both guys are nearing 40 and have hinted at retirement.

You take any industry or economy and take away it's two biggest sources of income, and it's going to have a drastic effect. You can't even argue it. I've heard so many people here say that Floyd and Pac retiring isn't going to have an effect on boxing. I'd love to know who they think is going to make up the difference.

How many great boxers have retired in the past? Boxing is still here and doing well.
Floyd will retire, Wald will retire and boxing will go on. Slightly diminished? Certainly not, their retirement will mean matches to fill the void, if any exist. IMO

Vlad mentioned alongside Floyd is a joke.

He is nothing in this Country and his ratings prove it.
