YOU decided to call some people's use of their money as "dumb". I didn't. You expected that that would go unchallenged? Newton.

But I don't understand your indignant attitude about it since you made basically the same comment that I made only you used "nuts" instead of "dumb".

He's damn near universally hated. He's earned that. I don't think anyone has been hated more since Macho Camacho. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, let the people spend their money as they wish. If they hope to see an asshat mouthpiece get a beating.... so be it. Wasn't worth $100 though.

I'm getting the feeling that you know who Mohammed Ali is. Tyson? Sure. I also get the feeling that you aren't a person that follows boxing at all. THAT is why. If you aren't interested in it, why the "dumb"?

I'm saying the prices being asked for viewing these events is dumb.
All that money to two prize fighters as millions of our children in the world go to bed hungry
My take is that we as a “civilization” have been accustomed to this to such an extent that the ridiculousness of this no longer touches our hearts or senses.
Half a billion dollars for a boring prizefight.

...then a winner of a boxing match gets over 100 million who probably doesn't need it .. This is when I decided this is a joke
The boxer gets a slight percentage of that. You've got to pay agents, managers, I wouldn't doubt the promoter gets a fair portion back. It IS corrupt as hell. Has been for decades.
