I have gotten very disappointed in boxing over the years. I used to watch boxing with my fatehr when I was a kid, but the sport does not quite attract me as one where skills predominate and some sense of character can be built.
There is obviously the basic and primitive instinct of survival where brute force usually determines control over a group and fighting sports somehow have embellished that.
In the last years I have seen champions who do not deserve to be champions. going back to the whole primitive imposition by force, there wasa time where fighting meant to see who could hit more and/or hit harder.
Now we have guys like Mayweather who can spend the whole fight running away from the opponent, getting them dizzy and hitting here and there only to continue evading the clash and yet they manage to win and get millions for that only to nurture an image of vanity and "glamour".
That does not do a lot for sports disciplines, that's my very personal objection to the sport, but I can see the attraction entire families feel for it and we see the babies in the room and the women too cheering for macho behavior.
I think that if the sport is to be revitalized, more strick rules should be implemented to avoid dirty fighting
