Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostBoxing needs to hit rock bottom before it can get better. I'm kind of happy that the networks and promoters across the board are kind of suffering. It will put the fire under their azzes to get their act together and stop working towards diving the sport in fragments.
In the meantime I'll watch Tennis. A sport where the best actually take on the best in 1-1 competition. When I want to see violent hand to hand combat I'll tune into one of the many free and entertaining UFC cards.
Boxing can kick rocks for all I care at this point. Too many damn divas in the sport.

We should all celebrate these consistent abysmal numbers boxing as a whole is getting. Maybe if they continue, these f*ggots within the industry will get their **** together, grow a pair of balls and start delivering real fights on a regular basis.

The cold war has been a disaster for boxing. The sport has suffered massively because of it. We're looking at three consecutive years of long gaps in the schedule, mismatches, and obvious fights not getting made. I don't buy into this 'boxing is dying' talk, but it sure sucks to be a fan right now.

If they want their rating to go up they'll simply have to drop their lawsuits towards Haymon and start doing business with them. These little Vargas vs Sadam Ali co-promoted fights aren't going to cut it. They need Haymon.

Lara, for example, has yet to fight Charlo, Jrock, Andrade at 154. There's also Quillin, Jacobs, Lee, all of whom he called out when he was promoting the Zaveck fight. None of these fights are cold-war related.

Broner vs Peterson
Garcia vs Broner
Guerrero vs Broner
Thurman vs Broner
Thurman vs Khan
Thurman vs Garcia
Brook vs Thurman
Brook vs Garcia
Brook vs Peterson
Also been following the Charlo brothers and we have no idea what's Haymon's plan for them. Lara vs one of the Charlos should have happened long time ago.
