From the ****ty decisions, the numerous belts, weight divisions and the way the sport is now so fragmented. It's exhausting just trying to find out which fight is on which channel and then it's one huge big ****ing disappointment.
It's no longer a bad decision now and again, it's so consistently bad now that it's not worth the stress and anger watching what's become such a bent ****ing sport. I'm just gonna rewatch the classics, catch up on what I missed in the 50s to 90s. I'll watch the highlights or WBVA some fights, but pay for another PPV? Go **** yourself.

Boycotting PPV boxing is like boycotting the boxing elite pay and mega fights. Count me out.
However, paying $74.99 for Wilder-Fury was crazy.
I will continue to pay for PPV for fights I want to see regardless of the price. Will pay for the fight and enjoy a night of drinks and food with friends. If you don't want pay for PPV fights and instead pay $10 bucks a month for DAZN that's on you. Would much rather spend $70 for a good fight than continue to pay $10 every month for garbage fights and nothing more on DAZN.
Can you make a case that PPV is the only ways this sport is kept slightly honest?
You've got no formal competition - just various organisations making up the rules as they go in their own self interest.
PPV numbers show the public's interest. These fights get made because we are prepared to pay for them.
Joshua and Wilder would be more than happy to keep their respective belts if there wasn't the carrot of a big payday from the pockets of us fans?
if you got the patience to search and know what to click, you'll eventually find free streaming.
i use an ipad or mac then mirror it to my tv.
did this to canelo-ggg and wilder-fury among others.
We've only had 2 PPVs this year and a scheduled 3 for next year....possibly 4 if something big happens to land a spot in May and/or September.
Some of yall complain about everything. Oddly enough, the ones complaining are the same ones who DON'T buy the fights anyway, so why even speak on it?
Just about 2-3 years ago, there were somewhere close to 8 PPVs in one year....now THAT's too much and that's coming from somebody who buys every fight.
People are even complaining about boxing being on free tv, but what can you do with such an ungrateful fan base (boxing)?

Go **** yourself.I am sorry but this I must not do. There just too many good pay per view worthy fights that I cannot boycott them all.
In a world where all of a sudden every network wants in on boxing we are getting more PPV over the next 4 months than I can ever remember.
Wilder-Fury
Pac-Broner
Spence-Garcia
And most likely now Crawford-Khan.
Fk that, 3 of those 4 fights have a clear favorite also. I'd argue Wilder fury was way more 50-50 than any of those will be
That never works on this forum because most on here don't buy PPV's Anyway :lol1:
If I was Arum, Haymon, Eddie Hearn, Oscar De La Hoya and any of these guys currently in boxing, they all should IGNORE the so called "HARDCORE BOXING FANS" most of us are all TALK. Focus on drawing NEW Fans to the sport of boxing, that is the future...NOT US! :lol1: :dunno: they all make way more money with "The Casual Sports Fan" is interested in their Event. We the Hardcore Boxing Fans will b#tch for weeks and weeks and still watch the event just to b#tch some more
PPV is just tiny part of boxing as the corruption encompasses the entire sport.
A few months ago some kid I know was robbed on his PRO DEBUT in a local show. This is the type of crap you're dealing with.
