... in my boxing coffin has just been hammered home.
With hype fraud Joshua coming back cool calm and collectively making millions to squash a you tuber or throw the fight, to Parker testing positive for coke after a dubious stoppage, to Usyk cringedancing while 'injured' and ducking everybody, to a young Itauma positioned as heir apparent after fighting no one except another shot to bits fraudulent druggie who turned up for a check and took a dive in the first round, to a 2nd gen grudge match between another tattoed midget druggie vs a weight drained corpse and a will he won't he nother fat drugged out pïkey dosser trolling hard.
And then there's the promoters, the best of which are a ripoff mma conman teaming up with a sportswashing camel racer looking to own the sport, an unscrupulous fisheyed manipulator, an old money shït talking toff pimping anyone like they're the next Ali and a cross dressing potty mouthed Mexican.
The whole point of boxing and any sport really, is to keep the fans entertained with the product not the sideshows and freaks running it. But the fans are mostly gämbling addicted dumb ass druggies who can barely string 2 coherent words together and turning on each other for lack of legit entertainment while kidding themselves that they're entertaining others.
So yeah, nah. I'm over wasting time engaging with a sport that's sold its soul to social media as a measure of a fighters worth and got better things to do than engage with online fücktards .
Have at it lads. Fill yer boots. Slam that door in my ass with your witticisms and insults while i live my amazing life of letters and nature here in Aotearoa NZ.
Peace on out wit ya bad selves. *drops mic exits stage right...*
Why bother doing press for boxing matches?
Why bother putting on 'exhibition' fights?
Why bother retiring then unretiring ?
Why do birds suddenly appear everytime you are near ?
...because it's as much about the theatrics as the event and the result and cos Polly loves a good rant!
A member on some message board saying adios is not quite on par with those other "whys" :lol1:
Best to just leave "all of a sudden", while monitoring if anyone misses you is a better way
Oh, the theatrics.....
Why not just leave ?

I don’t care one bit about this fight. It isn’t boxing, it’s entertainment through boxing.
Ad a diehard fan this has been happening since Ali v Inoki. It’s gonna continue to happen.
I say just ignore it.
All fair points made. Yet boxing will always have its fanbase as we've learned time and time again. It's a sport that exists because of the simple basis at its core. 2 folks beating each other to a pulp. You can mix a little celebrity in it to build intrigue for the casuals, but it'll always be around. At least I like to think so.
And yes, the politics involved can be hella annoying but I've always maintained that it takes going through the weeds to get to a great fight every once in awhile. Boxing is a like a drug in that you're looking for that amazing high to hit again and it can take a long time to get it back.
Yeah, I don't get it either. In a fair fight Jake has virtually no chance. This is on a level with Floyd vs The Big Show, except that at least with that, professional wrestling makes no serious claims to being a serious sport.
Not sure if this is the guy always says this, then comes back in the next month or two.strange to follow boxing only for his ethnicity when the other guys are much better at boxing
besides Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai is still the best cruiser
