An Open Letter to Sean_Hef and Blake, or How the Sweet Science Soldiers On
To My Esteemed Co-Editors:
Who is your guys' dealer? I want to try whatever it is you're smoking. Pacquiao/Mayweather on a major network? If and when this fight happens, it will be the most lucrative boxing match in history.
How Do You Spell Obscurity?? P-A-Y. P-E-R. V-I-E-W.
Did you add $50 to your cable bill to see these two go at it? Me neither.
Boxing is so irrelevant on today's sports landscape that its pulse barely registers. Saturday night's Pacquiao-Cotto fight generated more than 1 million pay-per-view orders and, yet, more people than not are waiting for HBO to re-run the fight on November 21st.
Mayweather, Boxing Still on Top of Fight Game
The weekend of September 18th, 19th and 20th may well have been the best for sport thus far in 2009. Penant chases all over Major League Baseball continued to burn while two of college ball's top 10 were upset and the NFL provided an exciting week two wrought with rivalries, surprises and the stadium of the century. But for all the highly publicized matchups this weekend, none were as highly anticipated for fight fans as Floyd "Money" Mayweather Vs. Juan Manuel Marquez and Boxing Vs. The UFC.
