Did Floyd Jr. kill boxing?

[ELPacman]

After all the hype he put into Floyd-Oscar, running his mouth like it was gonna be something huge. Then they dub it the world awaits(worst title for the fighters involved), to get the word spread. Everyone ends up buying it because of Oscar and wanted to see him shut the ****** up. But no, it ends up being dull as **** and being the typical that the non real boxing fans think of about boxing. A lot of moving around, hit and hold, not enough big punches landing. How the hell you gonna hype up what shoulda been a huge fight to bring back life into boxing with Oscar involved, and then run it out like that. I think we lost whatever few that still watched it over MMA after they saw that waste of 50 bucks.

Lots of perceived hyped match ups fell through.
The boxing world doesn't revolve around Floyd.

We got enough warriors that take on challenges.

I think DLH killed boxing more than May ever did.
Well that and multiple cable channels as well as competitve eating and the world series of poker.

Something must be dead, in order for it to have been "killed." Every sport hits a bump in the road at times. Not just boxing.

PBF helped boxing a lot by retiring himself!!! Boxing doesn't need cowards who are obviously afraid of losing! Boxing needs fighters who don't cherry pick opponents!

boxing was never dead to being with.

Floyd will come and go but boxing is a sport that will stay.

well what really plumbed boxing is high PPV and there is no big mainstream sponsorship like PEPSI, Nike,....etc

A more accurate statement is that he put a shutout, boring decision on boxing.

He just doesn't have the power to kill things at these higher weights at this point.
