Thats because people no longer want to see 'boxing' they just want to see formless slugging at each other until one goes down. People have started to not appreciate boxing for what it is, the art of hitting and not being hit and would rather see two formless fighters get world title shots for not having skill but for bleeding and winning every fight.
Come on sweetheart. Like you didn't enjoy Corrales-Castillo 1. There was no boxing in that.
of course! I'm just saying that some people are more skilled and sometimes they'd rather spend money on people that go out there and get their head beat in and call that boxing rather then the true boxers out there who have a lot of skill but don't get the primetime because they aren't "exciting" in everyone else's eyes. Someone like Arturo Gatti can sell out an arena anywhere he goes. But someone like Floyd Mayweather even though he's shown his superiority wouldn't sell out an arena as fast or as quick as Arturo Gatti and the opponent matters with him it doesn't with Gatti. I was just getting at that. I love slugfests as much as any boxing fan but there are some boxers out there that deserve a chance but aren't getting it because of who they are and how they fight compared to all the 'wars' like Winky Wright went through for a while.
