The Florida State Athletic Commission sanctioned the fight. Is this just a simple case of the state of Florida understanding what they stood to gain economically from sanctioning this event? Unfortunately, money talks and that means a situation like this is always going to be possible because each party involved stood to gain significantly from green lighting it.The fact this fight even happened shows you how mickey mouse the sport of boxing is.
Most sanctioning bodies wouldn't allow it to go ahead because of the obvious mismatch, but it shows what a few brown paper bags can do.
