The real reason Boxing is so corrupt.

Chuckguy14y ago

We as fans allow it to continue without question. We buy all the paperviews and when we witness something like last night we only cry about it o our friends ad family or over the Internet. Another reason is because the main stream media does not question the bob arums of the world. Why doesn't anyone have the balls to call him on all his shady moves or judging when one of his fighters is given a gift dec. Like last night or a handful of Chavez Jr fights. He and others are allowed to get away with it because no one does anything about it. I'm tired of it and I'm not buying another top Rank PPV . Your thoughts my fellow boxing mates??

Its like you said, it comes down to dollars. Big money corrupted the sport. Money corrupts and most of the time, its the fighters and fansI who pay for that corruption. Promoters and sanctioning bodies are poison. Money is big in other sports too and most of them are nowhere near as corrupt as boxing.

Who in their right mind would've bought this PPV off jump? I mean, we're all Boxing fans, but we're also consumers at the end of the day. Just because you're a Boxing fan doesn't mean you have to buy a PPV that you know deep down isn't worth shelling out $45 for. I'm a Cotto fan and I'd be lying to you if I told you I bought Cotto vs Jennings. At some point you have to look at it for what it is. You wanna pay for a **** card, be my guest. But if people keep buying ****, that's inevitably what they're going to deliver. Bombs would, he'd pay 40 bucks to watch 2 hours of live streaming footage of Pac getting his pubes cut.

Don't pay PPV PERIOD. Let advertiser pay for it. This is the simple solution. Just don't pay for it. What's the point of writing articles and stuff calling them(Bob and gang) out on it if your going to continue giving them money.
