There was more of a quality over quantity as far as promotion and the spectacle was massive for big names. Then again flip it...how about the fans. Can we honestly say we'd wait in a crowd like this just to hear a newspaper tell us how a fight went Let alone who won. Below waiting on results of Dempsey v Carpentier I believe. Definitely puts it in perspective how easy we actually have it now. Boxing was once a sport you had to hunt for and follow like a lone gypsy just to get fight night info. Not now.
