TV doesn't report boxing anymore. What is the outcome of the Pacquiao-Barrera match? Anybody know? Mike

    Barrera retires! Nuff said.

    << <i>TV doesn't report boxing anymore. >>

    I think many people lost interest in boxing when most of the big matches went to PPV.

    I feel fortunate to be just old enough to remember watching all those big heavyweight contests of the Ali/Frazier/Foreman/Norton era of the 1970s on free TV.

    It's hard to raise a new generation of big-time boxing fans at $50-60 a bout.

    Ziggy, it's hard to get this washed-up generation (me) to blow $50 for a fight. That's why I had to ask. I've watched Pacquia since his first TV fight and got froze out at fifty bucks. Mike
