Are you happy with the direction the sport of boxing is going?

Boxing has cancer Bob Arum Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather Jr once those 3 leave the sport it will rise up again

Hell naw foo'. To many fighters allowed to call themselves "champions" these days. The best no longer have to fight the best to prove their the best nor do most of them have any desire to fight other top guys in their division. The skills and basic boxing fundamentals of your average "top ranked" fighters has greatly fallen off over the past 20+ years. Half of the Heavyweight division's top 10 fighters have man-tits and luv handles and can't box worth a lick and none of them want to fight eachother. And most of all, America's ELITE Heavyweight sized athletes no longer compete in boxing, which has left a huge talent void in the Heavyweight division. Anybody who voted any higher than 1 is a :crackhead This sport is going the way of the dodo. MMA taking ova yo.

i dont like pay per views and their prices relative to the value

It does suck that rankings and titles can be bought. No one needs to fight a top contender to get a ranking or title shot anymore. Too many untested/unproven fighters becoming champions.

Satisfied with where it is? Not completely. Where it's going? Who knows? Personally, I see boxing in a pivotal point in its history. Not only are its top two stars on their way out, there are also a lot of things that are going to effect how the business is run, and who it's run by. Bob Arum is on his way out, the UFC just signed a deal with fox and the Internet's reach and speed increase every day.

If u watched boxing in the 70's 80's 90's, then you cant possibly like where the sport is heading!!!

Satisfied with it in Europe 100% -- it's thriving. Dissatisfied with it in the USA, where it seems to be turning into the WWE. Europe and Canada are the new hot spots for boxing. I was in Montreal for Hopkins/Pascal I and the entire town was going nutz for this fight. After being unable to score some tickets, I settled for a sports bar. It took me 2hrs to find a place that wasnt standing room only.

what i hate about boxing: Bob Arum Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Saul Alvarez more cherry pickers

Somewhat happy. There is a real influx of talent below heavyweight and cruiserweight right now, that will make for very interesting fights in the future. There are also more than a few fighters I could see taking the PPV mantle from Pacquiao and Mayweather. Arum and King are old, and won't be around to kill the sport much longer. However, that happiness is relative, due to the terrible policies that have reduced the sport to a shell of its former self.

More quality fights with better fighters on regular tv and espn. build young fighters better.

The way I see it, its more of a business than a sport. When you think about it, this is the only "sport" where the best dont actually have to face the best. They can just continue to pick and choose who they want to compete against. Its sad what boxing has become.
