Free Talk Friday

I'm not going to argue Klitschko vs Pacquiao but the first time I heard of Pacquiao was his fight vs Mayweather which was ONLY big because of the prize pool. Not once was a Pacquiao fight on television in my country, Klitschko and some other heavy weighters were pretty regular, especially the title fights.

I don't understand why PPV is important when the average person won't pay for PPV...at most it's only sold 7.7 million tickets, or Pacquiao vs Mayweather 4.4 mill. That's really not a lot.

In the entire history, which we go over in school, there are so many notable people, eras, countries rising and falling that Jesse Owens really isn't THAT huge and it's not a poor education system if he's not mentioned or rather not remembered by most. There are so many greats who are simply not great enough to be included in High school history.
