Record Breaking Fight

Last weekend's fight between Mayweather and De La Hoya broke Tyson v. Holyfield's Pay Per View record. According to the article, boxing is not on life support. I beg to differ. What the numbers showed is that the people would pay out their noses to see a good fight, period point blank. And not only for PPV, Cable channels need to make a better effort in making good fights that everyone wants to see. Who in their right mind, wants to see Jermaine Taylor push around another small fighter in Spinks? Who is interested in watching slow starting Winky Wright go against even slower starting Hopkins? Who? Another thing, until Americans put out a good heavyweight contender/champion....No one is going to give a darn about a Klitschko or whatever European champion. And we can look no further than Lennox Lewis and his acceptance in the States.
