How much will it hurt boxing if Floyd vs Pac is not ever made?

Is there even a fight out there right now that you even care about other than Pac vs. Money? I really think boxing will suffer a lot if the fight never happens.





Your thoughts?|||I think it will definitely hurt boxing if the fight isn't made. It's really the only fight that matters right now in the sport. I think Haye vs Wladimir would've been interesting but outside of that, what other fight is out there to get the juices flowing? The 168lb tourney is nice, and the 140lb division has great talent, but let's be realistic, the casual fans don't even know those guys, that's why they gotta find a way to get this thing done ASAP. The buzz of Pac vs. Mayweather is tremendous. I mean, how many times do the top 2 P4P fighters in the world that are in the SAME weight classs and are at their peaks get to faceoff? This may not happen again for another 25 years! I think boxing suffers a great deal if this fight isn't made.|||The fight promises to be the biggest payday in the history of the sport. The truth of the matter is that even though pundits love to proclaim boxing is a dying sport, worldwide it is projected to be the second largest athletic form. And believe me, as wrapped up as America and parts of Britain are in Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, the rest of the world would not be affected if their fight does not happen. Boxing would survive just fine.|||Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are the only remaining boxing superstars today as well as the sport's biggest draws and it's rare that the fight game's top two performers are in the same weight class. Them not fighting would be a big disappointment for fight fans especially in the USA and the Philippines.





But even the great Muhammad Ali said before that nobody, not even him at the height of his still unmatched popularity and success, could be even be bigger than boxing. So I will say that that fight not pushing through would not sound the death toll for boxing world-wide.





In fact, I think it would even expand and intensify the search and quest for the next boxing superstars from among the budding stars whose own chance at hitting the big time is being setback by the generally American and Filipino boxing fans obsession with the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight which I believe is being super hyped up by the promoters, the major USA networks and the fighters themselves, particularly Floyd.





Could it be that many of us are only made to believe that it is the biggest, most important super-fight in history on account of the constant publicity bombardment coming mostly from the capitalist media of the USA.? The USA could be the richest boxing market and the Philippines apart from producing some of the best boxers, has the most vocal and active boxing fan bases in the world. But then the USA and the Philippines do not constitute the boxing world.





Last I heard, Indonesia is still a Chris John country, Thailand, A Pongsaklek country and Japan as well as other major boxing countries in Asia, Europe and South and Central Americas remain faithful and partitically patronizing to their own. They care not much about a Floyd-Pacquiao so-called biggest fight in history not pushing through.|||All because of Floyd Junior's admixture of cowardice (laced with racism) will cause further division amongst us and institutionalize that very cowardice as a "virtue".....therefore..pussifiying the sport for many generations to come...It's not getting any better...It's getting worse...


......


This is the direction it will "Definitely" head towards, if floyd junior refuses to step in the ring with Manny Pacquiao...|||it will hurt boxing but

BUT BOXING WILL NEVER DIE IT'S HERE TO STAY YEA IT WILL HURT IT IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN BUT THERE ARE OTHER GREAT SUPERSTARS AND A LOT OF YOUNG FUTURE SUPERSTARS SO BOXING WILL BE OK|||About as much as Larry Holmes and George Foreman did when they didn't fight, which really didn't hurt boxing at all.|||It won't hurt boxing at all. Don't get fooled by Arum. Boxing will move on with its other stars. Manny and Floyd are just the stars on the spotlight now.|||the sport will survive but that's not good! dana white will be laughing like a damn hyena, and will pull out his "boxing is dead" tee shirts, like the fat chump he is.|||boxing will die, just how it will die after that fight takes place even if it does take place.|||it well hurt the industry of boxing but there are up in coming contenders.|||I do not even slightly care if the fight happens or not.|||it would hurt boxing..
