I actually watched the Mayweather fight and man, does boxing suck. Watching Mayweather jab while inflicting zero damage with his pillows hands is about the most pointless thing. How he brings in 40 million for a fight is beyond me. Guys like Jones, Cain and Silva should bring in like 400 million then because their fights are actually good and they've knocked out more than 1 person since freaking 2007! More importantly, UFC tells fighters who to fight and put their belt on the line against while in boxing you can just dodge the top fighters if you're the champion. Case in point, Floyd refusing to fight Manny.
Anyways, last night was closer to a pillow fight than an actual fight. Consider the fact that 13 of Mayweather's knockouts came in his first 15 fights. That would mean he's knocked out just 13 people in his last 30 fights. That's only 13 knockouts since 1998(15 years)! This is boxing's top draw? Boy, the days of Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis etc. are long gone. At least you have the Klitchko brothers... who are the only heavyweights worth a crap and won't even fight each other.
Can't wait for Jones vs. Gustaffson. At least it consists of the top two fighters in their weight class and some damage will be inflicted, I assume.
