Is Mayweather Jr. really worth the PPV mega-bucks he gets for his "fights"?

[IamInuit]

I honestly don't get it, i'd much rather watch a couple dozen other fighters that aren't even on PPV, then sit though one of Mayweather Jr's snoozefests, much less have to pay money to see him. 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.

Thats your opinion and you are welcome to it. I simply totally disagree. Boxing is not even boxing when you degrade the sweet science aspects of it. Might as well be a bar fight.
