Celebrity boxing is not boxing.
Hear, hear!
But there's enough money in it these days to threaten the integrity of the sport.
Not that every YouTube and Instagram celebrity is undeserving of hir success, but qualifications have, in all too many instances, given way to making a spectacle of yourself as the best ticket to that success.
But, of course, the flip side of that is that YouTube and Instagram have enabled many people with absolutely no qualifications, and who'd have otherwise starved, to either make a lot of money or hook up with a basketball player.
Back in the good ole days when you could switch on the black and white telly and watch a championship bout for free.
