Anyone else losing interest in Boxing lately?

[Fists_of_Fury]

Too many top guys are asking for too much $. Some are delusional narcissists like Crawford that demand 50/50 or 60/40 his way when he is the CLEAR B SIDE. But he still has dumbass fangimps backing him and blaming everyone else when it's him and his team that are the problem. His resume is proof that he prefers faded former champs and bums over a top opponent. The boxing media doesn't help by not calling him out for his cherry picking, ducking and delusional narcissistic ways.

Any decent fight seems to be PPV even when neither fighter is a star or PPV fighter. Boxing is becoming a joke because of that not these crazy exhibitions. The normal Showtime and HBO cards of the 90's-early 2000's are now PPV or on some lame apps. The promoters, diva fighters and trash apps are ruining this sport I once loved.

I think it's funny that youtubers get more PPV buys than these boxers fighting on PPV because they don't belong on PPV any damn way. The Charlos, Crawford, Tank, etc... shouldn't be headlining any PPV. I honestly wish for their downfall because they are who is ruining the sport. To fight any decent opponent or who they deem decent, these clowns ask for so much $ that it needs to be PPV and that needs to stop. These networks need to just tell these guys to **** off instead of putting them on PPV or paying for their bum showcases.

Floyd mayweather jr. gave them the blueprint.

We are in a world where Jake Paul Is the TOP NAME. I no longer care about Spence Crawford. I'm joking, I still want to see it but it's changing

[pasawayako]

You shouldn't lost interest in boxing, Floyd is about to fight one of the best youtubers.

True, I don't go out of my way to watch old fights or recent fights I've not seen but know the result of and who wins.
I get interested in potential match ups and who will fight who.. And try predict who would win.
For example id like to know who'd win between Josh and fury, Crawford v spence, ruiz v wilder etc.

[Willy Wanker]

Yeah, it's only because boxing is horrible at the moment. All these young potentially good fighters who don't wanna fight each other.

I remember when hype jobs would cherry pick and duck the hard fights.

Nowadays we have hype jobs who are basically ducking other hypejobs.

The mayweather haymon duck, dodge and handpick a hired patsy business model ruined boxing in America.

[Spray_resistant]

Yeah me too, just not alot of great fights coming up or they take too long to make.

Canelo fighting BJS as his major fight of the year ffs!

Fury/Aj dragging this out forever and it may not happen

Spence and Crawford aren't going to fight

GRJ turning down million dollar paydays and will eventually fight some Tba so he doesn't get stripped

Mike Tyson, JCC, and possibly DLH fighting in old man championships

But hey! Floyd is fighting Billy or whoever Paul for......reasons????

Losing interest can sometimes indicate growth. If you are in your 40s, 50s, 60s, I'd say it's a natural process to check out of some of the things you used to love. Many oldtimers aren't that interested anymore. There was a thread on the front page today telling us this fact.

Younger fans are taking over. Boxing will never be the same. I'm cool with that. Not talking about youtubers. Real boxing will always exist among younger, fresher boxing fans.

Yes, I lost some interest, but I'll always be a boxing fan. I'll watch select fights, going forward.

Hardcore Boxing Fan but Boxing NEVER been my #1 Sport not even close

So yea while I'm not losing interest, my expectations have came all the way down to reality. It is Fighters under the same Promotion and Network/APP and yet still it is no priority to make the fights fans want. At the same time too, I understand that Boxing Target Audience is no longer the Hardcore Boxing Fans it is clear to me that Boxing want NEW FANS which is why the Paul Brothers are so successful because they bring that New Audience and Demo that Boxing have been trying to figure out for years how to get them more interested and well I think they have figured it out. In them trying to gain a brand new Audience, some of us OLD Original Hardcore Boxing Fans might feel like we're being slapped in the face and we are. Powers that be in boxing full knows that despite all the complaining we do on the Internet, we're still going to continue to watch no matter what and yeah they're somewhat right because I will keep watching

It is not frustration but more so FUNNY when you throw a regular fight party the young kids are running around or in the other room playing video games not caring about the fight at all. However, when Jake Paul is fighting all of a sudden they care about boxing and asking can they order the Fight...
