I thought boxing was supposed to be a controlled fight. Why does it have to be entertaining?

I was being serious. It is a fight. If it is supposed to be entertaining why not just watch gymnastics. My point being that the better fighter wins not who looks better.

That's because the majority don't understand the sport.

boring is boring and the majority of the people paid for this to happen. if the majority of people don't cash in it doesn't happen. that's why this sport is dying.

don't be surprised to see a rematch with even more hype and a bigger ticket draw, and don't be surprised if people still pay for it.

I'll pay for it. I definitely feel I got my money's worth.

100 bucks, but I had friends over to watch with good food and beer. Got to hear them cheer when they thought manny was doing a good job.

Got to hear them complain after.

Lots of good discussions on the fight and boxing as a whole. In person and on the interwebs. Days of entertainment for 100 bucks :p
