Ricky Hatton: Boxing's dying

[larry smith]

i dont care what people say. boxing was different and became stale when mayweather retired.

but that charisma will be back. i believe boxers are really inspired by May and he makes everyone in the sport step up their game b/c they would like to be compared to him or want a chance at him

yeah that's why tickets for his fight with marquez was sold out already.. lol

pacman is the superstar now.. tickets for his fight with cotto is almost sold out and it's even available yet to ordinay people like us..

[Shadows]

I thought he wanted to become the "best promoter"? Seems pretty odd to say the sport you're trying to promote is dying and losing its place to the "Ultimate Fighting Challenge".....

STFU Hatton.

Hatton makes good points. If anything, it's the elitist attitude that's so deep within the culture of boxing that's really hurting it.

[BMWM3P]

He's bitter over being exposed and he knows he will be KTFO again the second he faces a good fighter.

[S.G.]

boxing is in a recession partly thanks to bull**** manufactured cashcows like Hatton

[Pecs]

Boxing is not dying... but is really on the decline..

[D-MiZe]

Tszyu was a worthwhile UK PPV...on paper, anyway.

Yeah.

I feel the rest of the fights should have been on the undercard of another PPV.

boxing is far from dying, but it is hurting. im not a fan of his but i dont really think hatton is a reason for that.

few fighters are. its mainly the promoters and politicians. not to mention the HW division. until boxing finds a big man who can transcend the sport its gon look bad.

[Hotsoup]

Eventually I think the sport will die..most boxing fans are older men , the younger generations can relate more to UFC and it's going to keep getting bigger and bigger.Plus the UFC is putting on solid PPV's every month and they do a much better job of advertising there product.

so his brother doesnt get to fight judah now all of a sudden boxing is dying? So why start a boxing promotional company name Hatton Promotions if its dying? UFC finally gets a million plus ppv buys now they are taking over? congratulations, it only took you what 15 plus years of your existence.

Boxing will never die. MMA dies before boxing. A pacquioa vs cotto or pacquiao vs floyd fight will double, triple anything mma makes. boxing is part of american & global culture that has a 100 year plus tradition, history, & fanbase.

mma & ufc has a long way to go.
