Not to worry........... I'm a boxing fan and I don't think I'd watch this fight if it were on SHO or HBO as part of my cable package. Both these guys are over 40 with Jones the younger of the two but having a lousy record over the last 10 fights with a 5W--5L record. How does this even warrant being a PPV fight. It's not about the integrity of the sport at this point, it's about the MONEY.

This is nothing but a revenge fight..This fight won't break any records...All it is good for is nostalgic talk when their being inducted in Hall.

Revenge fight?  These two only fought once------way back in 1993. When I think of a revenge fight, I think of Joe Frazier fighting Muhammad Ali for the third time after they split on the first two. Same for the likes of Arturo Gatti/Mickey Ward in their epic 3 fight wars. Pure and simple, this fight is about taking suckers for some of their hard earned money. I know of no one that has even the slightest interest in this fight other than wondering how PPV can be serious enough to think this fight will make them money. I hope they take a bath on this one and end this sort of madness. |
