What is happening to this sport?

[The Big Dunn]

PBC has 3 cards on its schedule (low-level FS1 and Bounce TV cards).
HBO has 2 cards on its schedule (both PPV).
Showtime doesn't have any cards on its schedule excluding low-level ShoBox cards.

Hard to get excited about a sport that has one fight of any meaning on it schedule (Kovalev-Ward) and it costs $70 at that.

This hasn't been a good year at the top. I have enjoyed the lower level cards being put on but that can't sustain the sport on TV.

If what we have read is accurate, HBO should invest more next year now that The alleged takeover attempt is no more. This should spur better fights from SHO/PBC.

Richard Schaffer wlll be back in the sport which should elevate the matches we see from PBC, which should make HBO elevate as well.

I will remain optimistic. the thing about boxing is it only takes a good solid 3 months of programming to get things back on track.

**** brother idk wtf you are talking about. One of the fights I most wanna see in the whole sport is happening this weekend. Glowacki vs Usyk should be a fun one & more mfers should be interested in it cuz it could be the beginning of the Usyk era at CW.

The sport doesn't & shouldn't live & die on HBO, Showtime & PBC. This is a deep sport around the globe.

Also I'm looking forward to Willie Monroe (Roc City mfers!!!!) vs Gabe Rosado which should be a interesting fight with a coupe working class cats who will fight harder than most.

Plus lets not act like football season doesn't usually put a nice dent in boxing since the NFL is a huge sport in the US that steals a ton of sports fans for months.

Do you do ANYTHING besides try to bash Golovkin all day?

I think he raps on the side as well. He's working on that mix tape.

Boxing is dying. And yes, you can blame the ppv model, particularly may-pac, for that.

Don't blame ppv. It's been around for decades. It's the biatches that make up the sport now.

I'm the 90s and before the boxing culture was not what it is today. Back then it's was fight everybody and the money will come. Today it's what's the least risk I can take to make most money.

I'm not sure who to blame. The boxers or promoters/managers. I guess I would say it's the boxers since they are ultimately I'm charge of them selves.

Yup. His rap name is Ali G. Look it up.

I hope his rap game is better than his troll game. As much as he has GGG on his mind, it wouldn't surprise me if his rap name wasnt Gold Getting Gangsta or something like that
