All the meaningful fights this Saturday.

I agree. The second someone gets a loss, everything they've accomplished becomes a question. Were they even good in the first place? OH, they were fighting a top level fighter? Doesn't matter, he was a bum all along Not necessarily, as long as the fighter was matched solid throughout the run. Just look at Antoine "Action" Douglas; he's been thrown in with solid competition for at least his last 6 fights and, after being expected to fight the always game Sam Soliman, instead fought Khurtsidze, a guy who was 14-1 in his seemingly meaningful fights (only loss being to the always game Hassan N'Dam). The boxing public (hardcore fans anyway) saw that Douglas was put in tough again, and watched a rugged and experienced guy simply wear out a rising prospect (who bit off a touch more than he could chew). Is Douglas washed at this point? No; letting him take a bit of a break, throw him in for another two solid fights, and he's back on the cusp of breaking through, especially if Showtime sticks with him.

Thurman/Porter was supposed to be this weekend. Left a big hole in the schedule. Not just Thurman-Porter, but that entire night of fights: -Thurman-Porter -Mares-Montiel -GRJ title defense -Rodriguez-WilliamsJr and the undercard for the extended show (likely with solid NE prospect fights).

Yep, fans don't care about records or loses.... Thats why Floyd constantly brings up his record and so do his fans. Give me a break... In this sport you lose to anyone and your stock plummits in fans eyes.

This is why boxing is no longer a sport, popular, or covered by the media... 99% of boxing matches are either mismatches which should never be made in the first place, or 2 name fighters but one is way past it and just a name.. 1 out of 10 fights are actually a competitive matchup on paper.. The rest all have huge underdog opponents.. What you said is bang on. There's almost no point in watching these fights and year after year it's becoming more irrelevant. At this point I think it's just a great way to launder money. These promoters don't even care anymore.

A lot of this is on the fans though. We hold loses against fighters way to harshly. Nate Diaz just headlined a ppv fight on 2 weeks notice. . His last 10 fights he was 5-5. UFC fans were fine with it, boxing fans this never would of passed. I agree. The second someone gets a loss, everything they've accomplished becomes a question.

Saturday March 12th: James De La Rosa vs David Lemieux 💥💥 Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Jazza Dickens 💥 Terry Flanagan vs Derry Mathews 💥💥💥💥 Miguel Berchelt vs George Jupp 💥💥 Zab Judah vs Josh Torres 💥 meaningful? I'm still trying to figure out which one of these is actually meaningful. The all British lightweight clash maybe? Then again, Matthews is a journeyman and if Flanagan is actually world class, he should get through him with ease. Rigo is in a joke of a fight, Lem v James doesn't mean much as there's probably 10 guys ahead in the line for a shot at the top 2 middleweights. The fact that Judah is still fighting is ridiculous.

UFC fans were fine with it, boxing fans this never would of passed. What? Hundreds of thousands of boxing fans paid to see Mayweather fight caveman Maidana, twice. To see Pac fight Rios. They're tuning in to watch Genady crush can after can. And, the piece de resistance; Kovalev fighting Pascal TWICE!! I do agree with you that fans are much too fickle about "winners" and not supporting guys who come to fight but to act as if there's such a huge difference in fanbases isn't correct. Boxing fans like their drama too. And, MMA fans turn on people too. Looks what they're doing to Rhonda and Connor. There isn't a great divide like there used to be.

Difference is,,, boxers are protected with matchmaking so if you take a few L's then yeah considered a scrub,,, but in MMA you don't get the cherry picking, are matched tough, and so if you take some L's it really doesn't matter.. 12-4 mma fighter is the same as the patriots going 12-4,, 12-4 boxer, you haven't fought anyone good so you must be a scrub.. Fans aren't stupid,, We see boxers not fighting anyone but getting hyped, whereas in mma and other sports, you actually have to take tough opponents on a regular basis
