10k in attendance @ MEN & 100 million watching on PPV tonight

Made good business sense for all those involved.

if it attracted people to boxing also a good move.

But ... as a boxing fan I didnt want to watch such a joke of a fight.

The thing is I don't think it will attract any new boxing fans. I don't pretend to understand the 'celebrity fan' mindset but they fans of the famous YouTubers and will watch them whatever they are doing.

They could and probably should challenge each other over lots of different sports and let their fans pay handsomely to watch - swimming, 10k race, high jump, penalty kicks, tennis, bowling, one on one basketball etc etc they could be rinsing these teenage fuckwits for years.

It all about the following. No one goes to these fight to watch boxing skill, they go to watch their heroes/people they follow to entertain them. I saw last 2 fights on twitch and it was pretty entertaining. PewDiePie vs KSI would sell out Wembley.

C'mon KSI - smash that @#$% PewdiePie to bits
Oh dear, I've caught the virus

PewDiePie looks soft as sh!t, KSI would batter him

Apparently did less than 1,000,000 buys... O_O
