I don't get how anyone could argue the best fighters getting beaten is great for the sport. It simply isn't. As much as some people may dislike them right now the fact is that the sport is going through a resurgence on the back of two men, Manny Pacquiao & Floyd Mayweather. I'm a Clottey fan for some years, but I can recognize that a Pacquiao loss would be awful for the sport. A Mayweather loss would also be bad but not quite as bad because unlike Clottey, Mosley at least offers the promise of being a big fight.

But, nothing could be as big as Mayweather-Pacquiao. It has the potential to be the biggest fight since the Ali-Foreman. Yes, that big. If they fight it brings in so many new fans for the sport as well as immeasurable tv exposure. I can't see how anyone could see that as being anything but beneficial for the sport.
