Man, you are so bitter recently - The fact that he is now the 4th biggest draw ever is good for boxing right now. I don't see any other stars at the moment, do you?

I was the first one to shake my head when I heard that he weighed in 4lbs more than Marquez but you're actually saying people SHOULDN'T have tuned in and that "it's not a good sign"??

Listen to yourself! A lot of these buyers were probably casual fans so how the hell is it not a good sign that we are bringing more casual fans to the sport of boxing??

More fans to boxing = "not a good sign"?...ok then
Nooo!!! Not the miles has turned bitter thing again!

I agree that it's a good thing that boxing has an audience, but I also think that if that audience is forking out nigh on 50 dollars to watch a fight then it should be Mayweather taking on a serious challenge and against an opponent who can actually compete at his weight. I felt that the Mayweather/Marquez fight was a bit of a con all in all. Boxing can make better matchups than that and a paying public deserves better than that too.
