Comments Thread For: WWE Considering Making An Acquisition In Boxing, Says Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon

[rmorris003]

I can only see them creating a boxing company and being like how MMA / Pro Wrestling is so you will go box for the WWE and not for the WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF etc.

Too much politics. It's worst than Washington.

Spence/Crawford in the ring. The lights go out. Hear ring.

And it’s the Undertaker!

That's pretty much how boxing is these days.

Big fights take forever to make, so they talk trash on social media to milk as much interest from fans for as long as they can.

I lost so much interest in Spence vs. Crawford. I went from "genuine excitement" for this fight to "I just hope they fight to get it over with."

That's what I mean they actually kill the anticipation of the fight by talking you to death, about it.

That would be cool but the return on investment in boxing is simply terrible. A lot of wealthy people and large promoters have fell on their face trying to get into boxing like Jay z. However WWE is a public company and they cannot afford to waste shareholder money. So I would love to see it but I doubt it happens. Also boxing in general just does not get big ratings anymore

True. Shareholders won't be as kind as Haymon running off with retirement money. Agreed, it's not happening unless it's a cross event here and there like FMW vs the Rock, HHH out of retirement or whoever is their big name now. Quick revenue pull!

Count me in to watch a bunch of meat heads who can't really fight try and take one another's heads off!

And boxing is dying right? But everyone seems to want to get a piece of a "dying" sport for some reason....

How about someone asks her as a woman how she feels about all her fathers sexual misconduct allegations??? Dumb twat

She’ll probably say the obvious. Why didn’t these women come out with the accusations decades ago when they were supposedly happening? Because they were money hungry and didn’t really mind getting harassed

On the low, I think she's the one who exposed her father's allegations.

Hear me out, her father had run her & her husband out of the company at the end of his run. She was put on "leave" with no comeback date, then magically an "anonymous" source exposes her father's financial & sexual misdeeds and what do you know? She's the new co-CEO of the company and her husband is in charge of creative.

Oh yeah, the other co-CEO Nick Khan was brought in by Stephanie & her husband to help Vince "make WWE more profitable"

[The D3vil]

I'm all for this.

Her father killing all the wrasslin' territories really hurt the business, but in the case of boxing, the'y'd be saving boxing if they could run all the other promoters out of the business & create a singular governing body.

Plus, they have the absolute best production team in the world. Boxing could learn from those great entrances.

I am not caring about this kind of click bait until it actually happens and what kind of investment they would be making. There more than a few business models the WWE would be a huge bonus for Boxing. But if it is in the promotional side, I actually feel that would be a train wreck with more obstacles in the way for the type of fights this sport actually needs to grow.

So i am open minded but fairly freaking skeptical.
