lol well good don't watch the fights but don't say boxing is dead when both of those fights will be over a million ppv buys!!! Heavyweight boxing is dead because you have more people getting involve in MMA and etc!!! If mayweather vs pacman ever materializes and then you have a big time UFC ppv event on the same night, I promise you mayweather vs pacman will out due the UFC ppv big time!!!!  middleweight,super middleweight, Light heavyweight, junior middleweight,welterweight and junior welterweight all have some pretty good fighters!!!

There is no doubt that interest in boxing has fallen in the USA than previous decades.  However, to say that the sport is dead is a common myth among those who are uninformed.  Every time a Klitschko fights in Germany, they sell out huge soccer arenas.  Even in the USA, where the sport is supposedly "dead" the fans flock in to see Pacquiao.  At the young age of 21 Saul Alvarez packs the house in Mexico,  and will continue to do so for many years to come.  Juan Manuel Marquez also packs the house among the hispanic populations.  Miguel Cotto draws huge numbers in New York and in Puerto Rico.  Amir Khan is also a huge attraction in the UK and is starting to become popular in the USA.

For boxing fans, 2011 has been a great year providing action packed fights such as Victor Ortiz shocking the boxing world in a war with Andre Berto, Brandon Rios also becoming a big draw here in the states with his action packed fights in two slug fests this year.  Erik Morales making an outstanding and shocking comeback in his brave showing in his close loss vs Marcos Maidana. These are just a few examples as I don't have time to recap all of the great moments of 2011 so far.  Mayweather-Ortiz as well as a couple of the undercard fights have great potential as does the Pacquiao-Marquez ppv and Cotto-Margarito ppv later this year.  There have been many great free cards on showtime and HBO as well this year.  It was also a great season of espn2 Friday night fights this year with many great fights and huge upsets.
Not bad for a "dead" sport :o

Yes you are right, Bhop being World class at the age of 46 is very impressive.  But I'm not too interested in this one because Hopkins seemed to avoid fighting Dawson until dawson lost a fight and seemed vulnerable so now Hopkins wants to fight.  And like any Hopkins fight, this may not be a fan friendly fight especially when you consider the fact that Dawson likes to move and counter.  It's definitely an interesting fight though and I can see either guy winning, just not as excited because there may not be much action.  I hope they have a good undercard especially since this one is  a PPV

      I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

      Virginia Judge Rules State Of Virginia Can't Strike Noncitizens From Voter Rolls!

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
