Shane (nicked named Shame in some circles) was a complete disappointment and now our attention turns to the only fight left worth watching:
Pacquiao vs Mayweather, and for a minute it looked like it would happen. Pacman agreed to the drug testing stipulations set by Mayweather and a massive purse (something like $50mil!) but at the last moment Mayweather backed out.
My question is, is this the only fight left for boxing? Can it bring it back from the brink of obscurity? Or is the prolonged delay the final death bell for boxing. Currently, as combat sports fans, we are spoiled for choice and I for one rather be watching fantastic MMA fights than waiting for this fight.
What are your opinions?

i hate people who sell themselves out for money, why did you even get into the sport???
MMA is surely more popular at the moment
looking forward to that fight
Boxing in Germany is so mainstream, i prefer MMA
I honestly don't know much about boxing the sport, but I managed to catch that pac v. mosley fight and it did kind of strike me as a bit off.
Oh well, I enjoyed reading this entry. Have a good one.
nice post man. keep it up
yep knew he was gonna win
I actually enjoy boxing a lot more then I enjoy watching MMA. Very interesting post!
Street fighting MMA will never replace boxing.
Boxing is a "gentleman's" sport. And, yes, I would much rather watch MMA.
I like MMA more
I think everyone is into MMA these days. I love boxing, but not many people share that.
i love watching some boxing, mma is good too
I love boxing
Boxing is pretty awesome, but I haven't watched it in forever so I can't really answer your question.
MMA is the way to go as there are so many unique fighting styles involved and different martial arts for every fighter. Plus watching it is way more exciting than following round after round after round of normal boxing. And I agree that boxing is rather a gentlemen's sport.
boxing is done to be honest
yea i agree with landerson27
I would much rather watch MMA.
Nice battle
would rather watch MMA too. too many queens in boxing
was never a big boxing fan.
mixed martial arts got da knees and thats what i want to see
I boxed for a couple of years, spared with the South Australian welterweight champion. Never saw the appeal of MMA though, but it definitely seems more popular these days.
pac vs mosely fight was boring. I love pacquiao though
I love these matches !
Muy Thai is where its at!
No boxing on the tv here in Spain. Used to enjoy watching it in the UK.
never underestimate the effectiveness of speed!
Exept some boxing fights happening in Montreal, the only other boxing match I'd watch would be this one!
I think for this fight to happen, Pacman needs to just call out Floyd for ducking him. Thus far, he really hasn't said much making me think that maybe Pacquiao is just as scared to fight Floyd.
Just make it happen guys.
