When I was young, I caught the end of Mohammed Ali. He was on Select TV! When the heavyweights would fight, it was like a Superbowl!
Those that didn't watch boxing would Know about it, and watch!
For me, Howard Cossell was the best announcer, EVER.
Then Came along the the Greatest Middleweights, of all time!! Sugar Ray, the Marvelous one, Hearns druan, etc..... Wow!
Tysons time. As well as Julio Cesar Chavez, De la Joya (as a boxer), Pretty boy Floyd, Pacman etc...... Boxing has always been known as being Crooked. My last straw w boxing, was going to Vegas, for Mayweather vs Victor Ortiz. The hug and knock out, as well as nowhere except MGM Properties.
No even off strip bars. I was told that due to it being a de la Joya/Mayweather production..... Nowhere publicly could televise it. I have family in Vegas, but at times, I go to Vegas to do it up, and when I go see the family, then I go see them. I've gotten into trouble, only contacting a couple cousin's, and not others. Or playing golf w my uncle's
I knew that the miking time of the Mayweather/Pacquiao was going to be the last GREAT match up. As we saw, o other big names, that are only a few that people know, outside of boxing, can bring a draw. Canelo is the Worst..... As being of Mexican descent, he is the worst paper Champions.... Ever!!!
No one wants to fight Bud Crawford...... And no he won't go up to competitively box Canelo...... We'll for only a paycheck. Canelo hasn't fought any names, since getting whooped by Mayweather! Bivol, Beterbiev and Benavidez are the big names.
Jake Paul is a genius Marketer., and has only boxed, really only NAMES!
As long as he draws attention he's as happy as can be!
I will watch this....... Only because it is Iron Mike Tyson!!
