Why Is Boxing So Boring?

some fighters (the best ones) are overpaid. The match making is awful as has been said. If one guy is getting a million and other guy is getting a handjob and bag of peanuts then it’s going to be a crap fight isn’t it. I wish I knew the purses of all televised fights and I’d just pick the fights that were as close to a 50/50 split. The fans don’t really demand good fights either. In this instafamous culture.

Every division should have a WBSS. With that boxing would be great, but we can only fantasize can we? Heavyweight WBSS winners fight: Joshua vs Pulev Wilder vs Povetkin Fury vs Parker Whyte vs Ortiz Light Heavyweight WBSS winners fight: Kovalev vs Gilberto Ramirez Beterbiev vs Eleider Alvarez Bivol vs Jesse Hart Gvozdyk vs Browne Middleweight: Canelo vs Jermall Charlo Andrade vs Derevyanchenko Golovkin vs Rob Brant Jacobs vs Saunders Light Middleweight: Hurd vs Lubin Munguia vs Brook Lara vs Castano 2 Harrison vs Jermell Charlo 2 Welterweight: Spence vs Ugas Thurman vs Pacquiao Porter vs Lipinets Crawford vs Danny Garcia Lightweight: Lomachenko vs Campbell Commey vs Teofimo Lopez Easter vs Devin Haney Pedraza vs Linares Super Featherweight: Berchelt vs Machado-Cancio 2 winner Ito vs Quigg Farmer vs Joseph Diaz Jr Davis vs Fortuna Featherweight: Russel Jr vs Mares Santa Cruz vs Nyambayar Warrington vs Kid Galahad Valdez vs Magdaleno Super Bantamweight: Rigondeaux vs TJ Doheny Roman vs Iwasa Navarrete vs Dogboe 2 Rey Vargas vs Diego De La Hoya Super Flyweight: Estrada vs Ioka Ancajas vs Nietes Yafai vs Roman Gonzalez Rungvisai vs Cuadras 2

- -Modern American fighters getting credit running around like chickens squawking about being best. Corrupt suits and the dumbest fan base in sports, the reason for boxing continuing to lose market share. Nobody wants to be that dumb.

Fighters now are all talk. They keep boasting that they're the best but only fight bum after bum. lmao.

I want all potential greats to fight each other, even if they are still young. They are better than the ranked pedestrian belt contenders. So called good fighters are feasting on cans. Too bad it ain’t happening. Even spence is going to the direction of “i don’t need him” instead of pushing for the fight with crawford. They continually rob us with great fights. And make it happen when they’re old and sell it like they’re still young lol And casuals will gobble it up. Wash rinse repeat

Boxing is great

We have 3 decent exciting fights coming up tomorrow. Surely out of the 3 we will get one candidate. Maybe you should change your name to boxing is boring if that's how you feel.

When UFC was a threat in 2016 having PPVs do +1 million buys while boxing couldnt even crack a million is when it forced the sport to be great again in 2017, 2018 with the Nelo-G fights UFC is now on a app for ffs & isnt going to threaten boxing just like WWE whose ratings keep declining due to lack of stars. What can we do? I watch NBA, Premier League, La Liga, LIGA MX, NFL, I dont mind Hockey so maybe you should watch other sports If it's anything I see Top Rank/ESPN Boxing tanking too since their roster sucks imo & they are running out of laundromat workers for Lomo, Terence Crawford, etcim just happy they kept finding laundromat workers for Jermall Charlo. 4 fights at middleweight. 4 laundromat workers. With the exception of Lara castaño showtime has had all bad cards.

Boxing is simply in a bit of a slump right now for a few factors: Mainly the aforementioned promoter/tv network/app cold wars going on right now which is hindering fights from being made and thus new stars to be made as well.. Mayweather/Pacquiao really left a huge void as well as far as star power, and new stars are failing to fill the void because of what I said above. On top of that boxing faces steep competition from other sports right now that are rising in popularity, once again, because of the lack of stars there is no interest being generated. But I'm confident boxing will survive this and be popping once again, eventually. We just have to hope DAZN takes shape or somebody can somehow unite all of the fighters under one large promotional banner like a UFC or WWE type thing but for boxing. I know that's a pretty far fetched pipedream but that's my dream :dunno: Edit: And for the love of God WE NEED A BOXING GAME! Back in the fight night days I had friends who weren't even boxing fans go out and get those games every year cuz they were fun and a lot of them eventually either became a boxing fan or a casual or occasionally watched, influenced from the games. Video games can be a huge marketing tool for any sports brand.

Exactly. No personalities. Imagine someone like Canelo, GGG, or Spence being a badass big mouth? Spence looked half asleep and bored in all the interviews I saw before the Mikey fight.

I'd find boxing more entertaining if they had fan forced fights. I would make Danny Garcia fight Deontay Wilder because I don't like Garcia I would make Mikey Garcia fight GGG as I don't like Mikey. I would make J'Leon Love fight Beterbiev 5 nights in a row just because... I would make Tank Davis fight Broner at 147 just because I think he beats broner I would seriously watch those fights. Call me different.

Terrence Crawford is #1 in the world right now. He's after NOBODY He has a case, a good choice.

If you don't get how watching combat between two trained athletes is exciting then you need to crawl back into your hole. Of course, you're lying because you wouldn't be here if you didn't find it exciting so GTFO with the trolling. The point was it isn't that exciting right now for various reasons. Not that I don't find boxing exciting.

Exciting? Examples? If you don't get how watching combat between two trained athletes is exciting then you need to crawl back into your hole. Of course, you're lying because you wouldn't be here if you didn't find it exciting so GTFO with the trolling.

Clickbait? Boxing is exciting. The matchmaking right now is awful. Exciting? Examples?

Please leave boxing you PBC chump. Every WW is ducking the #1 fighter in the world, Terrence Crawford, including your queer posse Spencer, MMAShawn, Next Time Keith, etc. Deyonce is ducking Anthony Joshua, the best Heavyweight in the World Thankfully MW is NOT PBC and we're seeing the best fight the best. At least we have that! What IS Exciting: Ca$hnelo thinking of taking over SMW and LHW. Very exciting stuff ! Loma and TC are staying busy with whatever willing opposition they can find. And they're getting the job done! Beanie Baby Davis and Wannabe Shakur might go to jail so at least we can be spared their acts! Wilder might get KTFO so that's something! Spencer gonna be the GOAT of LW...AT WELTERWEIGHT! In all seriousness boxing is in a lull right now. There are no mega fights. The Canelo-GGG fights lost a LOT of luster after Canelo whooped GGG and sent him into a mini retirement. Now GGG comes back...to fight tomato cans. Again. Nobody cares. . . Canelo has only Andrade left and Andrade hasn't fought anyone remotely as good as Canelo. Hard to see Andrade win a decision. Crawford won't get any major names at WW because they're afraid. Loma won't get Mikey or Tank because they're afraid. Loma Might get Teofimo, but I'd rather he built his profile more tbh PBC is simply bad for boxing. No other way around it Please post respectfully. Screw your theories and racism. I'm not interested in politics or petty stuff. I don't care about Wilder or PBC. Canelo is the best fighter in the world right now, after Estrada!

Hope it's not too late. Nice journeymen could ruin all plans tho.

I think boxing is in a lul but I don't get why people think their issues have any relevance to other people. Why they try to infect everyone. You're bored. Fine. This probably isn't the best place to bytch about it.

Nothing to be excited about. What fights are you really, really looking forward to? Any? Look at this board. It's semi-dead. Good and potential great fighters aren't fighting each other because of promotional, network, and BS belts from corrupt alphabet belt orgs. Boxing is my favorite and only sport I watch. What's happening to our sport, guys? What can we do?
