Boxing has been the butt of many jokes in recent times, as its popularity and presence within the American sport?s lexicon continues to split. One of the running barbs about boxing has been the aging demographic it seems to love to cater to.
Even I joined in on the fun recently.
When Top Rank Promotions and HBO Boxing worked out a deal with CNN to air the 24/7 documentary series building the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday nights/Sunday morning, I joked that powers that be might be hunting for the oldest of the old who stay home on Saturday night to watch CNN.
