Mayweather vs. McGregor: Professional Boxing's Knockout Blow
- 7 years ago
A bit off the beaten path from the stuff I usually do, but this sort of thing needs to be addressed. That and I want you to know that I'm still alive... sort of.
Boxing has been near-death, in terms of relevancy, for at least several years now. Mayweather-Pacquiao, and the disappointment that it provided, hastened the sports demise. This "match" (if you could call it that, since it's a gimmick match and shameless cash grab in all but name) is being hyped to the mountaintops with a multi-city press tour, but it all-but-signals the end of boxing's relevance.
