The fighters? Can great fighters make Boxing when boxing has no fans?? The fans?? Can lots of fans make something out of shit fighters?? The promoters?? Is boxing all about big fights?? Do little fights in turn make the big fights?? The characters?? The hoodlums? The movie stars at ringside?? Or, does "this shit sell itself"??
Yes...great fighters/charismatic motherfuckers can bring fans back to boxing....even limited fighters like Arturo Gatti can do it... Yes... Yes...the world awaits... NO....No...fuck NO....we don't need fake thugs/and asshole movies stars to make boxing...fake 'em...but
Ha ha great replies!! For me, great fans can make great fights where there are shit fighters involved. Shit fighters can make great fights where their styles clash, but it won't matter if the fans aren't in attendance. For the purists, when the great fighters do meet, it won't matter how many fans are in attendance: eg Tszyu vs Judah.
I don't know. We have always had fighters. Some guys who CAN fight can't draw flies, like Larry Holmes. Ever heard of the "Holmes Era". Thats right- neither have I.
