Tyson vs Mayweather

[Toronto Passions]

Too bad some humongous sponsor doesn't come along and unifify this mess of boxing and what it is today. Too many titles, too much bullshit, too much this and that. I wish some humongous sponsor would just come along and make one federation with one belt for each division… One weekly TV show filled with interviews in a little bit of drama… along with weekly Under Cards… Bringing back that flavor of Monday night boxing… Pay-per-view for the big events, etc.. come on WBC, WBO, WBA... or whatever TF…partner up with a sponsor and let's get this thing back in order again. Pretty sad to see how disorganized everything is in boxing compared to the 70s and 80s and even 90s… with Moses Itauma coming up in the ranks… It's a shame to not have this guys superstar talent properly organized and on showcase.

The 80s and 90s were gold even for pro wrestling which imo went down hill around 2005 or so and I stopped caring for the shows shortly before 05. Now from what I see in that field way too many titles and shows and an event that takes 2 days instead of one (WM). Apparently from what I heard TKO is charging hundreds if you want an actual printed copy ticket for WM compared to a digital ticket. Talk about draining your average joe fanbase just for a physical ticket to have as a keepsake. I wonder what Vince feels about all this cause he knew the fanbase wasn't loaded. Seems like greed has ruined many sports in this era.

Pretty sad when we live in a world where watching old WWE and old boxing on YouTube.. is what we thrive off of. I don't even know who the champions are anymore. I'm watching Tyson matches from 1988 sitting on the edge of my seat like it's some current event.

Before Monday Night there was Friday Night Fights sponsored by Gillette. I'd watch with my dad as a young lad and then I'd stand on the bed and spar with him.
