This clown flip flops if he thinks there is some way he can cash in on something. If somebody he hates is making money he gonna b**ch about it. I use to like him until he has proven to be a complete hypocrite. I will always respect his boxing career but that is where it ends.

They are good for boxing because their undercards are real pro boxers vs real pro boxers.

This exposes the Youtube/young crowd to real boxers and allows for deserving boxers to be seen and gain a bigger following. This leads to more overall interest in boxing, which leads to networks showing more interest in boxers.

I do not care about Logan vs Mayweather or Jake vs Woodley. I see the undercards and see real boxers.

If it was just a standalone fight, or an undercard full of circus fights, then I would not see the benefit.

If you think these kids are gonna watch the undercard you are mistaken, they will only tune in for the main event to see their guy. Maybe the co-main could get a little shine but they are not watching a full 5 fight card.

The exposure is really good for the sport.

Would I pay for their fights, hell no. Probably watch on you tube when im bored, but have to be very blazed.

The exposure is good when the product is being represented the right way. Joke Paul and their circus ish ain't representing it the right way. Only thing he is encouraging is bullying. Dude calls himself a boxer, but only fights non-boxers smaller than him with handicaps against him. Only reason why all these clown celebs think they can do it. When he fights an actual boxer, then he can get some bit of credibility.

I dont think it has any long term benefit. How many of the people tuning in solely for these fights are going to stick around to watch serious boxing after that? so far there doesnt seem to have been any increase whatsoever to the kind numbers real boxing matches do.
