    These guys made 100 million a piece; please don't tell me boxing is dying.

    I do not really like boxing and I'm a huge MMA fan, but the that's the truth.

    Boxing is pretty damn dead dude. They made more than that, but it hardly means it isn't dead.

    If this is the best fight that the sport could muster together for the passed 20 years and that product was the "fight of the century" ?!...its hammer dead.

    I know of 8 guys that won't be renting a boxing PPV anytime in the future.

    I haven't purchased a boxing pay per view in 15 years. That doesn't mean it's dead though.

    Just like the purse size doesn't mean its alive.

    That was the best product boxing could put together in 20 years means boxing is pretty lifeless.

    Do you remember guys like Sweat Pea? It's not uncommon for a champion to be a point fighter.

    Boxing still has 3 of the 5 top PPV buys out of combat sports in the past year.

    This.

    Betting on Mayweather was easy money. There was a 1% chance of anything other than a Mayweather decision win happening.
