    People don't shell out $60 to watch the NBA dunk contest on PPV, or bet millions total on the NBA dunk contest.

    Arum just fucked over boxing.

    Has ESPN improved their coverage (on SportsCenter)? The video I saw this morning seemed to skirt around the issue.

    interesting, although i would have to disagree with the longevity part, most "name" boxers still make millions into their late 30s

    pac man actually had a rematch clause in the contract, as in, if he loses, he gets an automatic rematch november 10th, and another 30 million at least

    I think there is no question it was a 'fix'. You can't have this lopsided of a fight go against the winner without it.

    I love boxing and I boxed for a few years, so this type of shameless behavior is disgusting.
