Hump Day Crush

There is something that is hot about two men trying to punch the daylights out of each other in a ring in Las Vegas that I kind of have a crush on this week.  I don't find Manny Pacquiao or Ricky Hatton particularly attractive, but I am thoroughly intrigued by both of them and this fight.  Both have a huge following and both are bruisers who prefer punching to dancing around the ring.  Fueling this fire is the HBO show following their daily life with Moms and Dads, kids, girls, church, friends and trainers with juicy stories.  I am curious about it all - how boxing is still seen as a 'glamorous' event where spectators dress up to watch two men slug it out, the hype of promotion, and how two people can turn off their normal everyday lives and punch their opponent to knock them out.  Count me in.  Can't wait for Saturday. xx
