    Will this ever stop!!!???

    All these old guys coming back to fight is SUPER annoying!!

    I respect the legends, but my gosh it's a major joke I feel like they should fight at retirement community venues man.

    Do you think this nonsense will stop soon?

    I mean, I understand they want the money but my gosh, can't they do something else?

    It massively hurts the integrity of the sport. It should stop but it won’t. Greed drives this sport so circus fights will always be welcome as long as there’s money to be made.

    Out of principle, I’m refusing to watch or engage with any of these celebrity/YouTube fights- not that’ll make much difference as the casual will continue to eat this sh** up. Unfortunately I think this kind of nonsense is here to stay.

      Would be nice if these networks and streaming services invested in young guys rather than shot, past it old guys.

        Man well said.

        Yeah I mean it is a huge joke in my eyes. For crying out loud did you see Evander Holyfield hitting the mitts!!?? Looks super slow and this is laughable man.

        You are right, if it makes money it is here to stay. It definitely does hurt the sport man, it's complete nonsense man.

          Definitely man.

          There is more than enough talent out there to invest in as opposed to these old guys, this is a joke.
          But it is what it is.

            If people still want to see the legends then there's room for them in the sport.

            The current generation of fighters need to actually fight each other so that people will care about them.

              Two things:

              1. Youre completely right. This generation spends more time talking about matchups and they fight 1-2 a year. I'd rather guys fight ANYONE than not fight but its insane how bad the WW division is. In the past 8 years we've gotten like 8 fights against each other among top guys...horrific.

                  All these guys cried about Floyd ruining boxing then went and copied his business model. True trendsetter. The TBE still controls boxing.
