Highlights:

• “There's a big fight over the weekend, it was between two celebrities, Floyd Mayweather and Youtuber Logan Paul, not necessarily two professional boxers but between two celebrities. And already there are accusations that the fight was fixed.”
• “A number of commentators have observed that the Mayweather-Paul fight is the latest in the advent of what's called celebrity boxing and for some, this is celebrity boxing being taken way too far. The sport is actually becoming more akin to WWE than a professional sports competition”
• “If YouTube celebrities or other kinds of celebrities for that matter are just going to get their butts kicked within two rounds, who would pay to see that?”
• "The problem with celebritizing a sport like boxing is that inevitably the sport itself will collapse into hyperreality and will reflect pre-scripted, choreographed fabrication more than honest, skilled competition."
• "The extent that we allow frankly the shallowness of celebrity to redefine our sports, we’re going to find our senses of courage and heroism waning as well."
