Boxing has changed as a sport over time which is understandable because the sport has gained popularity over time. The Fight with Mayweather v. Pacquiao was very hyped up which is probably why the fight was so disappointing to so many fans however they fight was worth about 300 millions dollars which seems to be completely outrageous having 40% go to the loser of the fight. With so much money on the line and the loser honestly losing nothing except maybe some fans the fight seems blown completely out of proportion. The fight was set up by the two combatants almost a year before taking place giving both fighters ample time to prepare. When the fight was over many fans were disappointed with Mayweather because he seemed very cocky throughout the fight and the fight did not end with a knockout it ended with a judge scoring which if you are not a boxing fan but just watching the fight for fun is not very exciting at all. I do not know anyone who would not fight someone for over 100 million dollars just for showing up. I am not sure how this fight will influence boxing however it was talked about as being a milestone fight for the decade and with the poor showing that it had and the disappointment it left in fans I can not imagine that it will have a positive effect on the fan population as many have already change and began watching other forms of entertainment such as UCF.link to article
