      Personally I think boxing overall is straight up garbage. Once maybe twice a year there is a fight im truly looking forward to and that’s a big maybe.

      Fact is the top guys in each division rarely if ever fight each other. It’s so fragmented into which promotion company a certain fighter is with and which TV/steaming service is who with.

      I love boxing, but boxing overall doesn’t give the fans thr type of fights we all want.

      Great example, Tank Davis vs this Barrios dude. Tank moving up in weight to fight for a secondary scrub world title. An ok fight but they billing it as a legit world title and making it seem Tank is fighting a real champion, and making it a ***ing $70 PPV fight. Gtfoh.

      At best this is an HBO or Showtime championship boxing quality fight, but ***ing $70 PPV. That’s a joke.

      Then the Fury-Wilder 3 fight. A fight nobody was clamoring for, but it will carry prolly a $80-$100 PPV price tag.

      Overall boxing blows and it’s sad to say because I love two sweaty men exchanging punches and other bodily fluids.

        Don't judge the sport by it's fans, commentators,.promoters or hype jobs.
        At it's best boxing is the most primitive and also the most compelling sport.

            If you’re not enjoying it. Don’t watch.

            I enjoyed watching three different shows last weekend. I even regularly enjoy attending amateur shows if Covid regulations permit them.

            No offence man, but you seem like a more casual fan, not saying you’re necessarily uneducated on the sport but in terms of that you’re only interested in the bigger and best fights- which is cool. However, a lot of guys on here enjoy watching any level of boxing. I’ve sat ringside in Vegas and back row in a sports hall, I still enjoy what I’m watching.

              I definitely agree with you here.

              I watch actual sports where people/teams actually try to be the best instead of doing their best pretending to be the best. Boxing is seriously the only sport in the world where you can say you're the best and not have to prove it.

              Like imagine in a just world where boxers actually had to prove they were they best by having no choice but fighting the best in a tournament setting like the WBSS.

              If you love boxing I have no idea why you would object to this. ****, even just having one world champion would solve an INFINITE amount of problems in boxing today.

                I watch a lot of the smaller (as in lesser known) fights too but no one talks about those do they?

                The thing is though is that there are plenty of other sports I watch too, not just boxing. The NBA has been on and its playoffs. You have March madness. College football and NFL. I watch soccer and tennis occasionally. Then you have things like the Olympics. You also have a lot of MMA cards too including UFC. RISE and ONE.

                Seems to me like a lot of guys here ONLY watch boxing and to only watch boxing and still not understand kts basics....that's wild.

                  There's always threads for the obscure cards on here and usually there are a lot of posters in there commenting. But they're niche. Can't expect most fans to give so much energy to fighters that they just don't have much exposure to.

                      Oh, so you love all the things I posted that i don't like about this sport right old timer?

                      Since you can't get yourself up anymore I suppose it really gets you hard thinking about how much people love not seeing two guys who should fight each other not fight each other at all huh?

                      You love people celebrating fights not being made.

                      You must love the drama outside the ring a lot more than what happens in the ring too?

                      You love all the racism that exist in this sport to don't ya?

                      If that's not you then why open your ****ing mouth?
