Holyfield VS Valuev is a potential nail in the coffin. Sure it was a sideshow match. But this will still turn many more people away from the sport. Call them "fake fans" if you want. But how much of this bullshit can someone really put up with? People who have been inactive come back and get title shots out the blue. People being able to duck worthy opponents to fight lesser opponents and then fixed matches like this.
R.I.P Boxing
Quit being an overly dramatic woman.
Most people don't even know this fight is even taking place or who Valuev is.
Exactly. This fight was so far under the radar it will be forgotten by everyone soon. It was an awful fight that took place in a foreign country.

Yeah, boxing is Dying because a ring legend was robbed fighting some UNKNOWN Russian in an event which was not televised in the US which the majority of casual fans didn't even know was going on.
STFU you punk ******. The only thing that is dying is you're husband's sexual desire for you because you eat one too many bon bon's.
People will always want to see action packed bloody violent messes like the UFC provides. Like I said its like comparing rugby to football. With UFC its quick and to the point. Less rounds, more action. Boxing will be phased out quicker with the increasing popularity of the UFC. Mark my words.
There are robberies in MMA too.
Boxing fans have very selective hearing and memory. I was one of them until recently. Everything about how boxing is run is flawed to the T.
What are you some kind of ****ing ghoul? You delight in a corrupt event? You became disillusioned and now you want everybody to feel shitty because you can't enjoy what we can? What a bitch-assed cunt you are. Why are you even here if you hate the sport? Now go play with your wii or whatever the **** it is you do and **** off outta here. Loser. :loser:

a mma fan of course....:dead1:...
Just because theres a shity fight doesn't mean boxing is dying...
If I turn on the t.v. and put on a game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves it might seem like basketball is dead........

it was yes, and this just goes to show the old path it was takeung, a 46 year old beating a champ and then judges not giveing it. Fortunatly in 09 we have David Haye as both a boxer and self promoter
