I have mixed feelings about the boxing match last night. I get these guys have spent a life time of training and fighting and damaging their bodies, its not something I'd ever be able to do. On the other hand 100million dollars for it... I don't know, I just think there are people in our society that are more deserving in what they do then a boxer for such money.

Not in a day when teachers, doctors, nurses, public servants like law enforcement and fire fighters, and the military (and countless other professions) make less for doing/sacrificing more. It just goes to prove the greed of society and the emphasis on the dollar.

As far as I am concerned, none of the professional athletes (any sport) are worth the money that they are paid. PERIOD. At the end of the day, all they are doing is playing a damn game that has no real world consequence.

It would be different if they played to the death of the losing team, or the people of the losing city were exterminated or enslaved for nine years their choice.

I think it's telling that a spectacle like this could gross so much money when many important charities can't raise as much as the combined purse of $300 million in years.
That being said, Floyd fought to not lose, making it a rather boring match. I admire Floyd's defensive skills and speed, but I don't know how or why somebody who fights to not lose can make so much money for running and hugging.
