Boxing may not be as 'alive' as it once was, it's more of a niche sport now but its not dead and will never die, people like him like to think that MMA is growing massivley and has killed off boxing. In reality they both get similar numbers, they are both niche sports. The reason I say about the article is not because of the quality of writing or anything like that but rather because the writer is so clearly biased towards MMA, he obviously doesn't follow boxing and so because of that and his bias shouldn't be writing articles about boxing. Thats what I meant.

Also, I appreciate the friendly response and I'm sorry for this long response haha. I'm not trying to say opinion is the end all be all even if it is a strong one. I just love boxing

It is bad that Pacquaio 'lost' but it doesn't really do anything to boxing, give it a few months and the general public will have forgotten all about it and will be prepared to shell out of for hs next PPV and you better believe that they would be very excited if Pacquaio vs Mayweather was announced. I could maybe understand his viewpont if Manny had actually lost and had been beaten fair and square but he wasn't and so I don't think it makes a difference. In fact even if he had lost fairly it wouldn't have made a difference, there were stars before Manny Pacquaio and there will be stars after Manny Pacquaio.

Look mate, I understand that too an extent this was bad for boxing but some people are getting carried away. This doesn't mean that boxing is dead, depending on who you ask(and certainly if you listened to the horrible HBO commentary) it was either a disgusting robbery or simply the wrong decision. I go with the later, the fight was much cloer than a lot of people would have you believe (at least in my opinion), I had Pacquaio winning by a good few rounds but it was as bad a decision as others I've seen of late.
