These kinds of fight blemishes the institution that these fighters represents, and is a slap to the faces of the rest of the fighters in the past that held the institution up. As a consolation we have pre-fights even much more worth watching than the main event. But that's just it, supposedly, the main fight is why the spectators flock to and watch. And so if the promoters and the fight bodies continue to support such fights, we'd expect a decline in the over-all worth / value of this sport. A sport that is measured by each individual's capabilities is degraded to a mere form of entertainment that a lot of us would not appreciate.
In the Philippines we have a type of satirical play which we call "moro-moro" wherein the play usually depicts the fight between Christians and Muslims with the Christians always coming out as the victor, to prove superiority and dominance over the Muslim. And since the outcome of these plays are already predictable, we now have the term "moro-moo" coined for every "staged" event. I have now come to believe that Floyd Mayweather have mastered the art of "moro-moro". He had just presented a fight worth the level of moro-moro and I believe that by continuing to support him, he woild be doing the same for his next fights.
It is just the same with all other things that we would want to get rid off. If we dicontinue the use and support of or the use of, we would only expect a loss in interest of / value of this person. I still stand by the thought to totally avoid Floyd and just don't give him the benefit of a fight with Manny Pacquiao. Let him earn the right to fight and not us being drawn by all his tactics. With this kind of fights Floyd is not worth a cent. Unfortunately all he should be getting is what he has now, 50 Cent!
