Boxing can still rely on 1 big match to sell a card right now....maybe the economy of our sport gets gut checked to where we're able to put some big time cards together and maybe Don King dies or retires or something and better matches start getting made.

Boxing won't go away...it's hibernating right now in the divisions north of 168 but it'll come back with a vengence.
i hope your right man cos i am pretty low on boxing @ the moment, man not one of my friends knows anything abt boxing & if i am @ the pub fkin know one knows abt boxing, if it was on uk free tv it could be big once again!
