I question my own love for boxing these days.
Holyfield vs. Toney is a $45 PPV, meanwhile, many good young boxers are passed over. Fights like Ward vs. Gatti are almost looked over completely, probably because there's good sportsmanship and it's about the boxing and not who can spew the most bullshit before and after the fight.
And as usual, who's to blame? The media. They want to focus completely on the storyline surrounding the fight, what moron x said to jackass y, what jackass y did to panzy z after he heard what moron x said, etc. etc. Boxing is looking more and more like professional wrestling.
The boxing organizations are to blame too, but I could go on for far too long on those people.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
