Is Boxing a couple years away from a huge decline?

Couldn't they have said this a few years ago when Trinidad, Jones, Mosley, De La Hoya and Lewis all were on the decline?

The last segment, the neon graveyard one, of the last 24/7 was great and Liev Schreiber uttered his best line of any series. I believe the quote went something like 'history is a chronicle of replacement' or something like that. It's true and really that's all you need to know.

That is a good line indeed.

I do seem to remember the boxing scene being pretty weak about 4 or so years ago though. It's been steadily building in recent years and is almost at its climax regarding the current megafights and rivalries.

Then I think it's going to be a couple years of building up again. It won't be boring or dead, but it will more about prospects for the future.

Kind of like right now, we are nearing the climax of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, maybe just starting the final film 'Return of the King', but once we've finished that we'll be at the beginning of Twilight or something. That's what worries me.

They can turn anyone into a star if they try hard enough.

Nah. 50,000 turned up to watch Pacquiao hit a punching bag for 12 rounds.

There is many stars in the making plus the promotion companies will need to create some stars in order to continue make business. New names will emerge, some will get more attention, perhaps it won't be a golden age as what we had lately but there will be enough good talent to fill decently the basket till another golden era emerges.
