Was Paquiao/Mosley a success?

I am sure we are going to have that horrid, old Arum say "Well this fight did 200 billion PPV's and we are all very happy". He will then walk away whilst his trousers fall down from the weight of all the pieces of gold in his pocket.

Having said that though, we were all critical of this fight being made. Sure, most of us wanted Mosley to put Manny through his paces, but ultimately the fight was a massive stinkfest. There was little demand after Mosley's recent run of form, it was cynical matchmaking at its best.

So financially speaking it was probably a success, but in terms of Manny's rep and boxing enjoyment it was pile of crap.

What do you guys think, success or a manipulative bore?

To be honest it's fight's like this which makes me wonder for the future of Boxing. Mosley was schooled by Mayweather, yet that performance was good enough to earn him at shot at Manny. They need to call time on the grandads farewell tour and Mayweather and Manny need to stop fighting each other opponents. I suppose Mayweather will fight Margarito or Cotto next.

I think it's time to give the younger guys a shot, maybe Vyacheslav Senchenko or Kell Brook, Amir Khan, Maidana, Tim Bradley maybe they will all get outclassed but in my opinion they will come to the ring more hungrier than Mosely and have more of chance of winning. I get the feeling that Mosley didn't even want to win.
