3. This Fight Will Not Save Boxing

Because boxing will never die. The sport of boxing was part of the very first Olympic games, dating back to the B.C. era. Sure, it has undergone various transformations, ebbs and flows in popularity, competition from new sports such as MMA and is often a victim of its own insider’s greed – we’re talking to you promoters and governing bodies. Yet, it remains. Back in 2008 when Mayweather fought Oscar De La Hoya, pundits and press championed that bout as the fight to save boxing. But, with the likes of the Mayweather’s and Pacquiao’s of the world (and a litany of other talented fighters) the sport has carried on just fine. As a result, while MayPac will and already has raised boxing’s profile it is not the fight that will save the sport.
