I don't understand why anyone would want to watch muscly shirtless men get all sweaty with each other in a ring. It's all a bit gay, innit. |  |

I have respect for them as sportsmen (and Ali is clearly a titan of sports itself) as they clearly train hard and put a load of effort in, but I have no interest in watching two people punching each other. | |

Well said Callis.
It's not a mans sport like pretend play fighting with topless men in short pants pretending to throw each three around... |  |

I'll buck the trend, i love it. Been boxing the last two-years since giving up football and wish i'd started decades ago. Best sport ive ever been a part of. Had my first fight two months ago and loved it.
There are plenty of thugs who want to get in the ring but those who want to box are genuine sportsmen. |  |

Exactly.
At least wrestling admits it's all scripted... | |

Pointless?
No sport is pointless.
90k people bought tickets for tonight. 270k wanted to buy a ticket when they went on sale. Millions bought the PPV. Millions more watched by stream.
It's obviously not 'pointless'. | |

You totally should have saved this for tomorrow, they'll all be driving the Saturday night crowd around... | |

This. Makes me feel queezy when someone takes a punch.
I like AJ though. Doesn't do the standard bs hyping up a fight and pretending he hates his opponent. Class act from what I've seen of him. [Post edited 29 Apr 2017 23:40]

The argument that because you can sell something, it isn't pointless, is a rather thin one. |  |

It's been a sport for 2500 years so I'd argue your view is in the minority. | |

Yes & no
Yes because there was a technical knock out so points system wasn't used
No as although they're big fellas I didn't see Richard Osman or Alexander Armstrong there*
*I didn't watch it... |  |

Not a fan really.
The actual boxing itself is ok, although would never pay to watch it live or on tv.
Its all the overhype boring build up to it often weeks in advance that I find annoying and dull as dishwater.
Millions seem to love it though, as facebook is talking about little else this morning so the sport is very popular.
Each to their own I guess. |  | | |

I think MMA has overtaken it in terms of quality and consistency but it still amazes me a fight like that can get global attention and makes me glad. Especially for a British lad.
There are a million things out there far less interesting though. |  |

Boxing is great, I'd say on balance it's my favourite sport. |  |

I could just about accept it if it were only blows to the trunk - but deliberately punching each others' heads, in the 21st C when so much is known about long-term brain damage & other sports are bending over backwards to reduce it - really? |  |

The only bit I enjoy is the actual fight, the build up etc is almost as pathetic as WWF. |  |
