Boxing and Horse Racing things of the Past?

this weekend in Boxing Oscar De Lay Hoya and Floyd Mayweather will Duke it out in the Ring. alot is at stake,but does anyone who isn't a Boxing fan care anymore? Boxing is seen as yesterday's news and almost off the map.

a few reasons: no dominant Young fighter has emerged. other sports have bigger known Atheletes. Endoresements,etc... also the last Big Name Fighter to truly capture the Imagination was Mike Tyson. since then all the main fighters have either gotten Older or just went away. the Heavyweight Division use to Rule and then the Middle Weight Division ran things for the past 20 years and then that has pretty much been it. Boxing is all but a White Towel thrown in as we speak aside from a few fights here and there.

Horse racing:the Kentucky Derby was once a big time event and a Triple Crown was a big time event. but just like Boxing while there are still some interesting events, the buzz over this particular Sporting Event ain't counted in many Years. it feels like a whole different time period when you say Boxing and Horse Racing. those two sporting events use to be Big Money and Must see. but over the years they have all but faded from view. still interesting events,but nowhere where they once were.
