The Biggest Loser in the Pacquiao/Mayweather Fight Was Boxing - Travis Williams

This was supposed to be the fight of the century. Our generations Thrilla in Manilla. Our Hagler vs Hearns. Two pugilist at the pinniacle of the career, punching for pure pandemonium and profit. Ok I'm sorry, went a little Don King there on the last one. But you get what I'm saying.

This was it. The biggest fight in boxing history.

Yet it turned out to be the most over hyped sparring match I've ever recalled.
Now I know by now some of you are saying, "Oh, he just doesn't understand or respect the nuances that go along with boxing. Or simply doesn't respect an athlete who's mastered his craft.


Not true. I understand and can appreciate all of that. It really boils down to the fact that I just don't like boxing anymore. Or at least not what it's become. And judging from the outcry from people after the fight,  of America doesn't like it anymore either.

One of my friends pointed out that every other televised sporting event that day was better than the fight. And they were all free to watch.
If this was a bout between the two best fighters in the world then boxing is officially lost.

Where does it go from here? The world of boxing would have been better off if Mayweather would've lost. The buzz of his loss would have sparked interest in a even more profitable rematch. Instead we were given the usual Money Mayweather snoozefest.

I'm not taking anything away from Floyd Mayweather. He's a great champion and one of the best boxers we've ever known. The only problem is that most of America doesn't care anymore.
