    Here's the problem with boxing

    How much you wanna bet if Kambosas beats Teo, that Tank, Ryan and Devin will have no problem making the Kambosas fight next?

    You won't hear anything about money, networks or contracts

    That's what's wrong

    Lol that is so true. Its not that these guys are pu55ys but they have all got themselves in to great standings in the sport and are all too wary to take another step forward incase they lose and have to take a few steps back.

      Maybe the problem is guys don't take tough fights because there's no reward for the risk. I love when people talk about "do it for the fans". Boxing fans are some of the most hater ass mother****ers out there. Sometimes it doesn't matter who you fight. People aren't just going to give you credit.

        Hmmmm if Tank, Ryan, Teo and Haney fought each other to undisputed, the reward is guaranteed HOF and/or ATG status similar to Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Leonard, etc

        Its what these kids been dreaming about since 6 years old

        No bigger reward than that

          What is this idiot even talking about? How many PPV fights have you bought so far this year? None. Talk about rewards and risks. Put your money where your mouths are people. Don't just talk. Money don't come from nothing.

            Now you know his Grandma is not letting him watch any PPV’S! She made that clear when he tried the first time and asked her for the code for the remote.

              weve all known whats wrong with boxing lol...no offense

              yes different promo outfits will go and try to protects their assets....none of these guys want to work with each other unless the fight and money are too big to pass up.....

              and tbh some of these guys play games with each other....weve seen the way bob was in regards to making the first fury/wilder rematch...weve seen the way bob never made any serious offers till now for bud to fight any of hte pbc 147s...and to a degree vice versa....weve seen floyd also say they wont be looking at any top rank guys...which i believe is mostly because they know bob has 0 interest and bob himself has ****ed around with floyd in negotiations ....these guys want to freeze each other out as long as possible....if tank said to ry tomorrow lets do it....do you think oscar would greenlight that fight? heck no....vergil and ry are really all hes got as far as potential star powers....its all a big game between al, bob, oscar and hearn basically

                Very true. Often times boxing fans contribute to the problem of boxers not fighting the best and protecting that 0 loss record.

                What happens when a fighter loses? A certain portion of the fans will say he is finished, he needs to retire, he got exposed....

                  Money is the problem why there are so many inactive fighters nowadays.
                  Why do you think Thurman and others are not fighting? It took more than a year
                  to make Martin and Ortiz to fight each other. It was finally made because it's on PPV.
                  If you're not paying how are they supposed to make the money they want?
