punchsports fans getting super defensive about the sanctity of their dumb sport is my favorite part of the carny sports. first it was the mma folks, now it is the boxing folks.

no wrestling fans going "aw man floyd mayweather boxing the big show? this is a disgrace"

all punchsports are carny poo poo

But yet boxing is an Olympic sport thereby elevating it to the status of an acknowledged worthy sport!

In the UK it apparently costs a lot more to buy the PPV to then resell it to an audience.

That's some good money making but they could get fined huge if it was found out they were doing that. Any establishments showing to the public have to pay way more for the fight.

You have to pay per seat in that type of event.

They are still going to do well. It will be like a sold out movie people paid double to see.

If its anything like the theater shows in my town none of them actually license the PPV to show publicly and no one gives a poo poo nor do they ever find out

So yeah they're making a lot of money

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I personally, myself, cannot wait for Floyd Mayweather to triumph over Trump's America

quote:

If you look at this on a social dynamic, not only is Floyd Mayweather fighting for the survival of boxing, and to prove that boxing is a superior sport over MMA. I think, he’s also fighting for victory for blacks and Latinos, who primarily watch boxing, over blue-collar, white Americans who watch mixed martial arts. On the other side, you have people who hate brash, African-American boxers, and have labeled them as all flash, and they’re rooting for a guy who says he’s mastered numerous styles of fighting, in Conor McGregor.

Now this is bigger than a fight, or the supremacy of one sport, or the legacy of a boxer, or the legacy of MMA as a sport. When you look at the racial environment, now it’s black versus white. Now it’s Donald Trump supporters versus people of color.
