‘Sport’ of boxing still prospers
A parachutist flies into the
ring, gets tangled in the
ropes and gets his butt
kicked while the champion's
wife ond cornerman are taken to
the hospital.
Such was the scene during the
seventh round of the Evander
Holyfield-Riddick Howe heavy
weight-title fight Saturday. Is
this finally enough for people to
realize what a farce the "sport"
of boxing is?
1 made a vow to myself a few
weeks ago to stop following box
ing Not that I was ever Charlie
Steiner or any of those other
weirdos who take this sport seri
ously, but I was an interested
observer to what was going on in
the sport.
However, my change of heart
came when a friend casually
asked me who I thought would
win an upcoming fight It was
then I realized that I hadn't seen
either of the fighters in action
because I don't care to donate
$40 to Don King or any of the
other corrupt figures in the sport
to watch the fight on pay pur
view.
This is the first problem I have
w'ith boxing — it is impossible
for the average person to follow
the big-wigs of the sport. The
premier matchups are available
only on pay-TV, or they're
shown on network television
months after they are over. Any
one who remembers, or even
worse bought into, the Mike
Tyson-Michael Spinks 91-sec
ond fight a few years ago is
reluctant to shell out the cash.
My second problem with box
ing is that it appears to me that
most of the fights are fixed. I
hope this doesn't shock anyone,
but if it does, you need a little
naivete training
Of course this issue came to

the public's attention a few
months ago when heavyweight
Ray Mercer was accused of
offering his opponent, Jesse Fer
guson. money during a match if
he'd take a dive. This surprised
some people, hut the only thing
that should have been surprising
was that he was dumb enough to
do this during the match
Couldn't he have taken care of
this before the match?
I think a less obvious example
of cheating in boxing came dur
ing the Parnell Whitaker-Julio
Cesar Chavez match a few
months ago. This was one of the
few non-heavyweight matches
to draw enough attention to war
rant pay-per-view coverage. The
match went the distance, and
although almost everyone at
ringside thought Whitaker won
the hght. the judges ruled it a
draw.
The draw now makes it possi
ble to get the two back in the
ring to collect more money from
gullible fans, whereas if one of
the fighters would have won
there would be no non-heavy
weight matches that could do
this. Don't believe me? Then ask
yourself why, after the match.
Chavez told Whitaker, "We’ll
make inucho dinero in the
rematch."
I have my doubts as well
about last weekend's Bowe
liolvfield fight, which was won
by Holyfield on a decision.
Many of those at ringside
thought Bowe either won, or at
least it was close enough for the
champion to retain his title.
Could there have been a little
chicanery going on here as well?
Consider this, if Bowe wins,
the popular Holyfield is out of
contention because he has two
losses and Bowe is forced to
fight either Lennox Lewis, who
has looked shaky recently, or
Michael Moorer, a talented
fighter, but not a big pay-per
view draw. However, with Holy
field winning, the stage is now
set for Holyfield-Bowe III. a
sure-fire pay-TV hit.
One of my favorite things
about boxing right now is the
story of Jorge Gonzales, who
goes 10 snow now riaicuious
this sport is. Gonzales is a for
mer Olympian who is now an
undefeated heavyweight, but
nobody takes him seriously
Few people who follow boxing
give him a shot to win the title,
but he is a contender because he
hasn’t faced anyone good
enough to beat him.
Another problem with Gonza
les is that he claims he is in his
20s. but many people think he
may actually bo as much as 10
years older than ho claims to be.
Don't they require a birth certifi
cate before you are allowed to
fight'
Another block eye for boxing
came a while back when heavy
weight Tommy Morrison, who
was then a champion for one of
the many boxing organizations,
was scheduled to fight but his
opponent ran out of the building
before the fight started, appar
ently because he didn’t want to
take the mandatory drug test.
Now the promoters of the
fight had two options: One. can
cel the fight and refund the fans’
money, or two, pull some jour
neyman fighter out of the audi
ence and give him a shot at the
champ. You guessed it. they
pulled some out-of-shape fight
er. who was called into the audi
ence just in case the challenger
left, and let him fight Morrison.
Never mind that the guy could
have been killed by the very
much in-shape Morrison: the
promoters didn't want to have to
refund the fans’ money.
One person who has been
strangely silent lately has been
controversial promoter Don
King. The reason for this is
because Holyfield is under the
control of Emmanual Stewart.
Dan Duva and Hammer (yes,
Hammer), and Bowe is guided
by Rock Newman and some oth
ers.
This is why you see Don King
running around yelling "Free
Mike Tyson” every chance he
gets. It’s not because he cares for
Mike: it's because Tyson is the
onlv heavyweight that King can
make money off of right now.
However, with Tyson in jail,
King is stuck guiding Chavez
(you remember him, the "mucho
dinero” guy) and watching the
new faces on the heavyweight
scene grab the money without
him.
Well. 1 guess there is one
redeeming thing about boxing
anyhow.
