Look what happened to boxing once Ali started having problems, it’s a niche sport now....at one time boxing was probably the most popular sport in this country, even into the 1970s.

A lot played into the downfall of boxing, corruption in the sport had a lot to do with it too. But yeah, anytime you see a permanently punch drunk Ali it’s hard to watch any of the combat sports the same. It’s getting that way with football for sure.
