34 days until a fight that matters. Great sport to follow.

Are we expected to go fishing until then?

You want the harsh reality ?

Spence - Pac is a great match up, on paper. We know its a fight we want to see. But look at say the last 3-4 fights of either fighter. Were they exciting? you are talking a combined 6-8 fights of both guys and they have all been underwhelming.

Most likely outcome is a boring UD win for Spence, pac is reluctant to engage. This is the most likely outcome, we waited literally YEARS (since pac-spence was an in demand match up) for this.

If pac gets sparked out at 42 its not even a satisfying outcome, we know he is 42 years old, it doesnt answer the question of who wins in their prime. Only real "exciting" outcome is if Pacquaio stops spence in a massive upset but people are thinking of pacquaio from 12 years ago when he had his KO streak, chances of that are slim. Pac has only stopped a shot Matthysethe last 12 years.

Imagine other famous match ups like Gretzky - Mario Lemieux, larry bird - Magic johnson ect, imagine if it took 4 years before those teams ever played each other. That is boxing.

If the sport annoys you so much then don't follow it.

Um, Spence-Porter and Pacquiao-Thurman fights were anything but boring....Two exciting fights, and the former won FOTY on some sites.

There are some good match ups before the Spence/Pacquiao fight though. OP just likes to complain all the time.

Baseball plays 3-4 months before it starts to matter, similar for hockey and basketball. Football has a minute of downtime for 5-10 seconds of action and commercials between every possession, sometimes between individual plays. Every sport has drawbacks.

Personally, if there were a big fight every weekend it'd frustrate me because I'd be missing them (my life isn't built around boxing). And now that you mention it, yes, I like being able to go fishing on summer weekends and that's tough to do staying up to 12-1am for a fight!

[ShaneMosleySr]

100-percent agree.

The sports that get undisputed championship matchups every year are allowed to take time off.

Maybe instead of trashing someone who points out reality, we should hold the sport to a higher standard.
