Jr. fights like once a year, and gets these huge paydays, what's so special about a Mayweather fight, the action in them all seems mediocre to me.

    Thoughts?
    Was Tyson worthy? 50 dollar ppv's that last a couple of minutes? I guess it all depends what you like about boxing. Their are people out their who actually think a fight is a failure unless their is a ko. I do not share those views. I like the science and pugilistic purity of the sport as much as I like the brutality. I enjoy the Chacon/Limon type fights but equally enjoy the methodical break down and technical boxing wizardry of a Mayweather.
    A KO is the ultimate in pro prizefighting, especially if it's somewhat unexpected and/or happens between 2 top ranked fighters. Like for example, Martinez's KO of Paul Williams in their 2nd fight, for me, nothing else in boxing beats it. I certainly don't think a fight is a failure without a KO or a brutal beatdown, but this is the hurt business, and frankly I could give a shit less about seeing 10-12 rounds of the "the sweet science", "technical wizardry", or dancing contests, I wanna see a fucking fight.
