I never knew that Boxing was so popular, I thought it was just an American thing, but $500 million from payper-view? WOW. I've seen the new Avengers movie in theaters, a small one, there was about 20 other people there. It is a great movie. Lightspeed2012 05:34, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I recall my mothers comment on boxing low these many years ago; when asked if she was going to watch the "big fight" at the time she replied, "Why would I pay to watch two grown men beat each other up when I can watch my kids beat each other up for free?" That is advice I've taken to heart over the years. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:34, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Like football and Formula 1 racing, I think interest in boxing is very international and isn't a strictly American thing at all. I'm not sure how the pay per view was handled overseas though. If the charges were high, that could explain a lot of people coming to Wikipedia to learn more about the fight. Liz  Read! Talk! 20:22, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Reading the Wikipedia page on Cinco de Mayo has been part of Internet culture for a surprising 6 years now... Shii (tock) 21:06, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
