Hard-core boxing fans decried last month's Floyd Mayweather--Conor McGregor bout as a farce - an overhyped mockery of an event designed to generate a huge payday Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Womens , boxing's reputation be damned. While these fans weren't 100 percent wrong, last weekend's draw between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin definitely stole some of their rhetorical thunder.

Without question, Mayweather-McGregor was a gaudy, made-for-television spectacle. And while its first media event generated tons of interest, subsequent events were both anti-climactic (repetitive gimmicks) and borderline offensive (allegations of various types of slurs).

But the fight itself wasn't the competitive sham many boxing fans thought it would be. The scrappy McGregor took the fight to Mayweather early and held his own into the 10th round Cheap Nike Air Max Womens , when his conditioning limits (MMA fights are shorter than boxing matches) allowed Mayweather to swoop in and score a technical knockout.

In the end, McGregor's performance embarrassed neither himself nor the sport of mixed martial arts. The same cannot be said about Saturday's controversial draw between Alvarez and Golovkin. Not only did the final outcome prove unsatisfying to fans, bettors, and sportsbooks (boxing's holy trinity); judge Adelaide Byrd's confounding 118-110 scorecard in favor of Alvarez exposed one of boxing's long-held dirty little secrets: inept judging.

And although Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Bob Bennett has promised to give Byrd "a little break" before allowing her to judge future big-time bouts, the damage has already been done. The Alvarez-Golovkin match-up was the perfect chance for boxing to capitalize on the afterglow of Mayweather-McGregor and regain some of its past glory. Instead Cheap Air Max Thea Womens , boxing delivered a "same as it ever was" moment.

A sport that launched the careers of convicted criminals Don King (manslaughter) and Mike Tyson (rape) doesn't get to claim the high moral ground very often. Saturday's showcase in Las Vegas proved that the action inside the ring is still just as shady as the action outside of it.

LONDON, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- A statue of a homeless "bag lady" crafted out of one million pounds worth of old bank notes from the Bank of England has gone on display this weekend at the Museum of Liverpool.

The art work, called "Eleanor" Cheap Nike Air Max Thea Shoes , is inspired by a chance encounter between Liverpool-born artist Leonard J Brown and an elderly lady, and a character from one of the most famous songs by the pop group, The Beatles, called Eleanor Rigby.

Brown said the aim of his creation was to depict wealth and poverty. The old woman is described as a "bag lady" -- a name given to a poor and homeless woman.

The 1.57 meter work depicts the bag lady who, according to the Beatles song Cheap Nike Air Max 95 Shoes , died "without a penny to her name."

The artist said, "The sculpture serves to show people that money isn't the only way to make you happy and we should all be thankful for what we have."

"There are people in every town and city like Eleanor Rigby who live a lonely life and whose only worldly goods are kept in the bags that they carry."

"I asked the Bank of England to supply me with a million pounds worth of bank notes basically, and after many emails and telephone calls I was invited to the bank to collect it," said Brown.

It took six months to create the sculpture, using old 10-pound Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Shoes , 20-pound and 50-pound bank notes.

After successfully negotiating the handover of the banknotes with the Bank of England, Brown was eventually given the notes in the form of shredded pellets. Around 300,000 pound of the pellets were used to fill the sculpture's chest cavity, while the remainder were mashed and moulded to a steel frame.

The new sculpture has made its debut this weekend in the atrium of the Museum of Liverpool where it will remain on show until January, 2015.
