Should Boxing be more theatrical as far as event production?

No need for a WWF type event. Boxing doesnt need the fans that would bring in. Let Boxing sell itself.

Boxing need the "wow" aspect back, like when they would show a fight in the 80's, like SRL and shit, he wanted to be special, an art. THen you had Tyson, people would b intrigued.

it seems that hbo dosent like intros anymore, they try to tune them out

the 24/7s, countdowns, hbo buzzez, site news is enough as far as promotion goes. what it's missing is good undercards. say what you will about Don King, but the man used to put up some sick as undercards back in the day. more intriguing fighters on the same night equals more interest and raise in ratings. you get a crappy undercard, you get garbage results. but with today's boxing economy and politics it's a rare treat for a fan to get more than 2 quality names at a time. in fact the PPV you get is the 2 quality names thus you get the paid event as advertised. the rest is all ducks

I like the sport the way it is. Too much production can quickly turn into a joke.

Nah its fine the way it is...Showboating/shit-talkers bring enought hype to the real boxing fans to make just that much more interesting..(i.e. Mayweather jr, Mayorga, Hopkins, etc)

the europeans our kicking our ass as far as production. it would be cool if we could get some nice entrances. The euros do it up nice and classy, no cheesy shit. I wouldnt mind those kind of production values, stuff like Floyd did though with the Spartan costume or whatever, I think thats cheesy as fuck.

Hmm. I don't know. I think HBO does a pretty good job with their big fight promotions. KO Nation seemed kind of crazy, but I'm sure more than a few people thought it was cool while it lasted.

They should intorduce slegehammers, chairs, ladders and tables. Hardcore boxing matches would rule....

No way its fine as it is

NO! wtf does this look like Pro Wrestling?? This is a sport not a show.

I think more fights as opposed to theatrics. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!
