Re: Did it save boxing? Laughable cover.
First I agree with SweetPea. Boxing doesn't need saving.
I think it really put a dent in people's perception of boxing. I mean, there was nothing at stake. no belt, no legacy, no action, no plot (outside of Mayweather Sr training his son or whatever they did with trainers), no heart, no guts, no blood, a lot of fake trash talking. It was closer to WWF if you ask me.
I think that it got a lot of people to do something they hadn't done in a long time and just watch some boxing, but nobody witnessed anything except an old man who can't throw a jab (only thing he could do to win the fight) and a prime PBF backpedaling his way to victory. IMO. Neither guy showed that they really wanted to win that fight.
Where's the heart?
