Big-Money Fighters Don’t Have Hunger to Entertain
- Share via
On the evening of Aug. 14, nearly $3 million was paid to two big-name middleweight fighters who didn’t fight.
Michael Nunn isn’t “second to none,” he’s a bum who runs and doesn’t look cute doing it.
Iran Barkley punched as if he was underwater, when he bothered to throw a punch.
These big-money bouts have nearly ruined the sport of boxing. Luckily, there is a plethora of hungry boxers fighting on cable television every week to keep real boxing fans entertained.
I salute the club fighters of American and hope Michael Nunn sleeps well at night, knowing that he’ll never get clocked by a real punch no matter how long he’s paid to dance around the ring and twitch his shoulders.
