Is that Welterweight ?
It's a shame a bout the music, but the long rounds and losing won't make me rich attitude shines.
Also, Sugar Baby was a dancer, not a boxer; or so he would say. Lovely bloke from what I have heard and his politeness was legendary. My love of boxing fizzled about the same time as attitude and big entrances started becoming the norm; but I have always been drawn to the amateur scene - great bouts to watch and the lads are always humble both in victory and defeat. I think perhaps this is why it isn't big sport on the telly, the people bashing each other aren't what the public expect and when they are, the boxing fans don't like it .I should have really given it a go... may well do one day...we'll see, the hill is only 3 years away.
Anyways, have dance:

Much of what you say is true
But you'll probably find there are more gentlemen in boxing than arseholes.
The real reason why boxing isn't on TV is because itv and the bbc were stupid enough to give big multi fight deals to boxers who hadn't even fought a single professional bout (harrison, khan), which is obviously retarded, and were hurt when it all blew up.
they dont take risks and can't see the potential in a sport which had massive cultural significance for over a hundred years in this country. They wouldn't even know how to promote it or what to buy.
it's sad.
