I think boxing would improve if people just quit settling for less. Mayweather/ de la hoya is what the sport needs. Might be boring, might not be but it is without a doubt one of the best matchups available for the sport. They need to quit chasing history by taking the easy route.

Boxing isn't about money, it's about making other people shut up. It's about proving critics wrong by taking the high road regardless of money. One big fight will net you 1mil+. Now i don't know about anyone else but 1mil would easily supply a comfortable living environment for me. There's no need to get shiny wheels or exspensive shoes when they are gonna come incontact with dirty surfaces 99% of the time they are in use.
