can we stop being cool with promoters shutting down fights?

i just started watching boxing last year so i dont quite know all the details about in house bull****. got a link to your thread?

I will bump the latest one. The Top Rank ones are old and most know Bob loves in house fights so no need to rehash. Here's the video of Floyd exposing himself for in house fights that I put in there.

Absolutely, should be called out every time. When a promoter or network won't allow the best fights to be made for their business reasons they are stealing from the fans, the boxers and the sport. For big fights if an agreement can't be reached, put it to a purse bid like situation, everyone brings their offers, highest gets the fight. Fans win, boxers win, boxing wins.

The whole "wrong side of the street" is literally companies thieving from boxing fans, and somehow we have people supporting it.

yup...it is...i agree....but guess what...its not going to stop! you misconstrue acceptance for "support"....im not going to change it and you arent either.....the promoters will march right along and wont lose any sleep over it...and prob not any money either........you guys know its happening and that its been happening yet you still watch! you still follow the sport! theyve got you by the balls...you wont stop either...and they wont stop.....learn to accept...its not support its acceptance......learn to view the sport through a new lense...one where the business side and politics exist and are powerful.....adapt or die

Here you go

[LeOoze]

nobody is "cool" with it or wants it to happen...thats whats lost on dumb or weak minded individuals......you think we celebrate it or something...we dont...im a boxing fan and id friggin love for us to get all the fights we want WHEN we want them

but history has taught us that doesnt happen....its still not happening and id place the odds on it ever happening at slim to none......

some of us accept reality...that its a business not just a sport...we adjust and learn to view the sport through that lense....youre like a kid with bad eye sight who refuses to wear glasses or get contacts.......weve learned the sport isnt perfect and we adapt and adjust....the business side of boxing exists and IT WONT GO AWAY!

you sound like an angry child that just learned out his father isnt superman or something...like someone told u the world was perfect, good and nice and you just discovered it wasnt.....ill stay over in reality while you live in fantasyland pretending all the fights you want will happen and when you want them! have fun with that! its gonna be a tough ride with a lot of suffering for you! the sad part is you think i actively cheer for this stuff to happen.....thats how i know youre out of touch...i dont....i just accept it...i aint gonna change it...you arent either....

but you can pat yourself on the back on a boxing forum pretending to be some champion of the cause! "im a hero! i hate this stuff and you should too! i love the sport you dont! i love it more than you"!!!!....go ahead...the floor is yours!

why are you so mad?

i wish they can go to a purse bid to the highest bidder but promoters will always be scared to be exposed for the simple fact a outside party held a better event than they did.

That's why we need a monopoly on boxing. Otherwise we gotta figure out who can be a realistic opponent for certain fighters and deal with getting the best possible match ups a promotional company can provide. It's also why I'm against Triller. 4 major platforms is really pushing it.

A monopoly has its advantages, UFC being a perfect example, by in large the fans get to see the fights they want, the downside is the fighters get screwed. UFC's ~18% of revenue share is daylight robbery, compared to boxing's 70-80%.

I love Boxing! I watch Boxing for the BOXERS! This little Division and Groups that fans try to have among each other as far as picking sides among Promoters and Network and liking fighters based on which Promoter or Network/APP they're signed to is ******!

Yet Daily the same few IDIOTS always starting their Usual Threads Accusing someone of being a "PBC FAN" while yet they themselves have their own heads deep up Eddie Hearn or Bob Arum collective Assses but will spend HOURS and DAYS on this forum accusing everybody else of being "Fanboys" it is beyond Ridiculous

STFU sometimes and enjoy the sport, it is suppose to be for our Entertainment we're not suppose to be all Emotionally Attached to the point in which who a fighter is promoted by determines if you're a fan or not. Some of you hate a fighter simply based on the fact that some guy you don't like on youtube like him and that is also PATHETIC!
