I've essentially stopped watching boxing. And I don't mind saying I was once a big fight fan. And I was willing to pay to watch a big fight. Then I began to notice a pattern. Year after year for decades there were less and less good fights on the card. And the main event almost always ended in some controversy. Gone are the days when you could watch 3 great fights on the same card--for free. Tragically others have not followed my example. They continue to pay for an inferior product. It's almost as if we were hypnotized into paying for a fight. As if we did not have free will. Nothing will change until you exercise the power of the pocketbook. Refuse to ripped-off. Don't pay for boxing tonight.

Video: Legalized Loan Sharking - Payday Loans
First there was the subprime ripoff. Now those who haven't been finished off by the mortgage collapse and taking out payday loans. In both cases working people are being ripped-off by what are essentially modern day loan sharks. All with the blessing of the government.
