What damage has this fight done to boxing ??

[chris6878]

I convinced a few people (casual fans) at work to pay for the fight Saturday when I explained the magnitude of what was going on – now today I wish I hadn’t. Man am I getting some stick.

As a fan ‘in the know’ so to speak I wasn’t surprised by what happened over 12 rounds in the fight and take my hat off to the technical mastery of Floyd – I think deep down I had got carried away and thought Pac would get through in the early rounds and the fight would ignite into something special.

I’m sure this has been discussed several times since Saturday night but what damage has this done to the sport ? For us on here it won't deter us but those casual fans I mentioned certainly won’t be back !

I think I can forget about EA Sports sitting round the table this morning and deciding to do another Fight Night game that’s for sure

Damn I need another fight night, still playing the old one.
ANd yes tons of casuals are now gone. THey dont realize all the grat fights that have happened the last few months cause......they are casual ppv watchers. Damn floyd for running, and damn pac for not being the bull dog I expected

somewhere out there is another young Tyson - but he'll probably end up in NFL

Worse yet, he'll have watched that fight and try to do what he saw those two guys doing.

dont worry, once mayweather fights in september, there will be a ton of people ordering his fight again and complaining about his running and holding. its a never ending cycle.

I think this fight is to far out of the box to make to many rash judgements either way. It could have as many positive effects as negative starting with the quickened extinction of ppv rather then waiting on this medium to help render them/it obsolete.

It speaks volumes to quantity over quality

Make over $100m quid for throwing 400 punches in 36 minutes. If I was a young kid I'd copy them
