going to pay per view and Showtime ruined boxing. You could watch serious championship fights on network tv. Boxing may have made more money but it cut off the good stuff from kids whose families didn't purchase fights or get certain cable channels. They made their money and now wonder why people have lost interest. They got too cute.

Boxing was dying a syphilitic death and like any good escort (or hell any University wanting students) made it exclusive to increase mystery and demand.
"It must be special if I can never see these guys box unless I shell out $59.99" became the refrain.
Boxing didn't die because pay-per-view...it extended it's sad life for another decade.
And once an American stopped being Heavyweight champ...American turned the channel off as they could.
Only Latinos continued watching welterweights and lightweights in the 90's.
