    Same. I feel like Davis-Loma is gonna happen, if Arum is OK.

        Thats a PPV event now.

        I think that’s it for me. Enjoy what this sport has become.

          There are world class fights happening every week. Nobody is forcing you to pay attention to these clown shows instead.

                  Holyfield could barely even stand up straight, much less fight. How utterly pathetic. I know he's had trouble with money but I'd never believe that he was THIS desperate.

                    Exhibition fights have always been apart of boxing, going right back to the days of John L Sullivan, the term pay per view gives you the option of watching or not.
                    I've chosen not to watch any of these exhibition fights as they do not hold any interest for me at all.
                    Too much bitching and whining from so called boxing fans, if you don't like it don't watch and stop whining like little girls.

                      Well I don’t consider it boxing per se

                      but the reality is your casual audience does consider it boxing and care more about celebrity boxing than watching a Demetrius Andrade bore fest or something. So we’re going to see more and more investment in this celebrity and YouTube boxing and more attention on it, which will define boxing as a sport for the mainstream audience.

                      I don’t really care about it, if a bunch of washed up fighters and celebrities wanna make money by getting ****** people to pay for this, then good luck to them. Most of us would probably take that money too at that stage in life.

                      but I still don’t think it’s healthy for the sport in the long run in terms of public interest and perception.

                      real boxing has to take huge responsibility and blame too. Best fighters avoiding each other, promoters and TV not working together etc. Maybe if we actually got more fights we want, the public would show more interest in real boxing and the sport won’t start to be defined by Jake Paul in the public eye.
