Manny Pacquiao vs Jeff Horn

This fight will apparently be on free ESPN. That's not really a good sign-after all, you get what you pay for. Going to ask you a question-would any Manny Pacquiao fight have been on free tv over the past ten years? Of course not. That alone should send a message to the public. Boxing is a dying sport-I admit and accept this and promoters are getting desperate for attention. Putting a Manny Pacquiao fight on free TV is one of the final steps. 

Manny Pacquiao is a good fighter. He's probably one of the best fighters of all time. While he has always been a little overrated (no, he's not in my top 10, maybe barely in my top 20) he's certainly one of the best of his generation. He'll probably win this match-but I'm worried about the next one. The classic saying in sports is that Father Time is undefeated, and Manny is no exception. If he fights someone with more skill than Jeff Horn, it might be the fight where he shows the world that his abilities have diminished. I'm just praying that he doesn't get hurt in this fight or in future fights.
