Yeah, I get that, it's not a once in a generation thing, or a 'fight of the century' thing, but it's where the money is and bowing and scraping for your wages is part of the process. I'm not saying it's right, or palatable or that a stand should be made for or against it, just saying that in boxing history, no matter how frequently, the balls of despots have been stroked for a nation enhancing bonanza.
It's fucking dreadful on every intellectual and logical and moral level, but its money. Plus it's not like Boxing hasn't gone down the 'Two flies crawling up a wall with unbeaten records' hasn't milked the PPV 'super fight' shit in every other country either.
Back in the day, it was the despots who were the only fuckers who could afford to put it on.
These days,Boxing fans are being conned week by week.
