    Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: We're Not Fighting Regularly Enough; Us Fighters Getting Treated Too Well

    Anthony Joshua apparently believes boxing culture is suffering from fighters' inactivity. What's more, the former heavyweight titlist from London had no qualms pointing the finger squarely at himself.

    BJ got a point. I mean don't lowball the fighters but don't overpay em either. BJ is one of the reasons dazn is doing ppv now despite not being a ppv fighter

      It's true. It's pretty cool that not one of thee best 3 hws h2h status are saying this, but a mediocre/ very good hw can admit that. Aj still has the heart beat of an assassin no matter if he wins or loses, he keeps fighting.

            Honest take by AJ. Fighters sacrifice so much for the sport so you want them to make as much money as they can while they can, but it certainly seems to be true that the influx of money is hurting the sport to a degree.

              AJ wouldn't say no to the saudi money, nor would most fighters, the parallels between golf is interesting, the pro golfers all got on board in the end.

                Alvarez was able to fight four times in year just recently so it is possible for fighters to be more active but it isn't necessary like it was in previous era's. Boxing's decline in popularity has seen the sport become more centralized in certain markets, plus the sport isn't as accessible as it was forty years ago. Boxing's primarily available on subscription based platforms and with the decline in viewers comes a bigger emphasis on ppv.

                In general, boxing just isn't the power it once was so the money and dates just aren't there like they were during the Golden era's. I think if boxing got regulated the sport would have far more success because the politics is crippling the sport.

                  A boxer who fights once or twice a year has no right to call themselves an athlete, let alone a professional, it's more akin to amateur boxing
