re: This fight hurt boxing

Any MMA fans tuning in to see it were vindicating in thinking that boxing is for pussies. The amount of times McGregor got ahold of Mayweather and the amount of times boxing fans got upset when Mcgregor would hit Mayweather with an "illegal" backhand ensured all MMA fans will never give boxing the time of day again

I think you're right about MMA fans. I'm not an MMA fan, but I can say that boxing is not "fighting." I think something can be said about strategy and angles and all that, but I don't see how anyone can say Mayweather is a fighter. Everytime something that resembled a fight early, FM turned his back and ducked his head to make all the blows illegal.

I'm not huge on boxing or MMA fan, but I can say I'd be good never really watching boxing again unless a Tyson type fighter comes along. Watching guys dance around for 30 minutes isn't that appealing to me. I can respect what they do, but it's not that entertaining to me. I thought the undercard was really boring.
