The problem with boxing is that it's only good if it lasts a while. Back in 1988 a good friend of my parents paid $5000 to go to one of Mike Tyson's title fight against Michael Spinks. Tyson knocked out Spinks a minute and a half into the first round.

Yes, but for $5000 your parents get to say they saw Mike Tyson fight! For the record, I would never pay big bucks to see boxing. This is an event with four or five fights with up and comers. We have front row seats and we only paid $90!
