This Is Why Boxing Needs **** Talkers

[toyboy33]

The Miranda Taylor exchange is exactly why **** talking is good for any sport. It don't matter if the man eventually backs up his big talk or not. Its the drama created that will get attention and make people curious to see who's making the noise. Miranda did himself all sorts of favors by rattling Jermain. If both win their respective fights, its a given that they will meet in the ring. Boxing does not need another slow talking, soft spoken, boring-ass, goody goody like De La Hoya. Its about time we got some bad boys back in the sport. Make some Goddamn noise!

It got him some news attention, which never hurts a fighter.

**** talking is not needed in boxing.


maybe if the greedy ****ing promoters and managers create good fights, nobody would think that you would need trash talking in the sport.

back when boxing was the most popular sport, there really was not a whole lot of trash talking.

the sport itself should create an interest. but it is hard to do so when all the promoters and managers are sheltering thier fighters to try to make thier fighters appear as though they are a force.

besides, i don't see much trash talking in basketball, baseball, or football media. sure it goes on during a game, or in private. but it is hardly ever publicized because it is not needed.

i don't mind trash talking, i just don't care much for fighters who run thier mouths and feel that it wouldn't be as necessary to create drama this way if boxing was managed and promoted better.

of the many things boxing needs, **** talking is not one of them.

this sport doesnt need attention, it needs healing. we have covered this.

Covered, but not agreed upon by everyone. I definitely disagree. Boxing can use all the attention it can get. No company wants to pay big money for advertising in a sport nobody pays any attention to.

You're joking right? **** talking is part and parcel of Basketball, actually of all professional sports. You must watch different sports channels than I do.

and why would people WANT to pay attention to this sport?

mayweather/oscar brought plenty of attention, and it didnt do the sport any good. boxing is no different now than it was before the fight was even discussed.

attention and advertising aint gonna fix ****. like i said before, we need repairs, not additions.

let me put it like this: if boxing was a ship, it doesnt need more cargo, it needs to stop sinking first.
