Selling in boxing- do you think we need that era?

[beenKOed]

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.

Since it happens anyways, we may as well turn it into high drama.


As said, can you imagine if Ibeabuchi had "sold" some of Chris Byrd's feather dusters?!!? lolol... what it would have done for the night and that fight!!!

Entertainment does not hurt boxing, it makes it fun. You need substance otherwise you will end up a laughing stock like Audley.

Audley was the ultimate foil. He made for great fun. The second fight with Sprott had me on EDGE.
