Boxing as a sport is being greatly disrespected

Did you ever attend English classes in school? You sir are definitely apart of the problem

wel... thank floyd for that... now every up and comer is looking for all big money fights.

This has always been a thing. Tony Danza? Mickey Rourke? Ali vs. Inoki? I’m actually super interested in Jake Paul vs. KSI. Never knew who they were before they decided to get into boxing, I respect their passion for the sport and willingness to step in the ring though. They were both super famous before this. They didn’t have to go down the path of taking repeated blows to the head. They have my respect and I’d love to see them fight

How's your girl, mate? I miss her. Lol who??......

I think people need to realise that times are changing. Boxing has always been about making money. It is why it was called Prize Fighting. The dedication people put into the sport is what some people respect, but ultimately, it is about making money. You've always had celebrity boxing and charity boxing. The world and economy is now adapting to deal with social media personalities. If promoters were smart, they would revise the way they promote their fighters. Focus on getting them to connect with fans on more common interests than just boxing.

These YouTube gimps need to get the sht kicked out of them in real life & put it on YouTube & they wouldn't fight ever again. Only problem is whoever mercs them would be offered to take their place & the circle jerk cycle starts all over again Good post. It’s prize fighting. If there’s money to be made it will happen. I mean C.M. Punk bragged about being a tough guy and how he could prolly beat up everyone even though there’s no history of him being in any real fight. This might be the future though? The in ring outcome might be secondary to everything else. Why come up the hard way if getting views and followers behind a screen can lead to a feud that makes millions in ur first fight? Maybe it will burn out, but maybe not soon enough.

It is now all about social media and followers Youtube people can come lead main events You can lose and people act like it never happened because you are famous I thought you had to work hard, be dedicated and win at the top level?? Now it is just about being famous...They are turning this sport into a damn joke.. What happened to the talent?? the grit?? the dedication??? Hell even this forum is becoming a joke..hyping people over popularity and ignoring outcomes..what is boxing coming to? What ya'll think floyd mayweather was? Iv's, catchweights, glove clauses. The guy was good but a lot of smoke and mirrors with the dood

Andrade fighting a bum was more disrespectful - -Hey, Honey Boo was fighting his level. How many other fighters can say that?

These YouTube gimps need to get the sht kicked out of them in real life & put it on YouTube & they wouldn't fight ever again. Only problem is whoever mercs them would be offered to take their place & the circle jerk cycle starts all over again - -U mad!!!

Makabu Vs. Cieslak will be war! Cruiserweight Rumble in the Jungle.

Yeah it's being shat on by master Al haymon who is blocking some of the best fights in the sport for personal and business reasons.

I’m a hardcore boxing fan and I understand the hate from old heads but it’s really not a big deal. They bring more money into boxing and the fights are entertaining. Who gives a **** if one fight on the card is a couple of youtubers. Plus the Paul’s are actually decent, though Gib was complete trash.

If this forum is a joke why are you here?

DAZN needs to stop existing. Ok boomer.

Andrade fighting a bum was more disrespectful

It's a disgrace. The hype and numbers involved seemed over all positive for the sport but when it's all said and done it just makes the sport look irrelevant, unserious.

Joke of a post. Joke of a response. Always the usual suspects on this forum too. 2020 starting off weak and depressing. Let’s hope some good fights come our way soon.

Did you have Jeff Horn in mind when you wrote this post? Work hard and be dedicated - check. You can lose and people act like it never happened because you are famous - Packy when he lost to Horn. What happened to the talent?? the grit?? the dedication??? - Makes the most of his talent - check the rest. Yet he gets hate, all for petty or spurious reasons. So yes, the OP is spot on.

this forum has been a joke for a while now, it gets me through work but im not sure i can bare it much longer

Thank "Money" Mayweather...
