Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
no mate, it is YOU that is (deliberately) missing the point. It's a supply and demand market. If the demand is there for 4 million $100 ppv hits, then the fighter is gonna want the equivalent of the debt of a 3rd World country!
if people didn't buy it , or boycott it, the demand wouldn't be there and we wouldn't see such crazy purses.
The problem is , that there are too many stupid cunts in this World!
I mean, who seriously would pay good money to watch shit like Mayweather v McGregor? More to the point, who would pay PPV money to watch McGregor , Eubank Jr. and Bellew fight?
And before anybody says "Yeah, but it's for the entertainment value!" Look, if I want to pay to see something funny, I'll go and watch Peter Kay or Jack Whitehall, or if I want to be "entertained" I'll go and watch Ed fucking Sheeran!
I don't want these fuckers to put on a "Show" or entertain me, I want them to put on a good HONEST fight.
and Finally, when the likes of Mayweather get their share of the pie, that money goes out of Boxing forever. When Sky/Matchroom/HBO/ITV/Box Nation get their share, they invest back into the sport in some way, maybe the next promotion, sometimes even the grass roots level.
Yes, they rip us off, but at least they give a bit back.

You miss the point. I'm only saying boxing has much better to offer. Canelo lost every round to a guy that started at 130. Crawford/Indongu has more meaning, Chocolatito's next fight has more meaning. I could go on and on about better fights. It won't even be GGGs best opponent this year. Because Canelo isn't that good, he's just popular. Lucky for Canelo GGG is slowing down, maybe even enough that it ends up a good fight. But is that the ideal, that one guy has slipped enough to make a fight competitive? I don't think it is
I seem to be missing a lot of points deliberate or otherwise.

Ed Sheeran is the last person that could entertain me, but otherwise well argued Primo. Shame on anyone trying to justify this terrible fight. Anyone paying has more money than sense. It should be boycotted.
