who is really to blame?

the sanctioning bodies hold some responsibility for putting their belts on the line

the promoters hold some responsibility, as they'll make any fight they think might turn a profit & some that won't

the fighters hold some responsibility for fighting undeserving opponents but it is prize fighting

the commissions?

us fans?

as for mario barrios, he just fought a 46 year old manny who was out for nearly four years (& arguably lost) now he's in talks for ryan

i think we talked about how marvin v ray was sanctioned, so none of us should really be surprised
