When did the "muh favourite promoter" cults begin?

[The D3vil]

I think it's just the nature of the internet & social media.

Everything is overly scrutinized & broken down & fragmented.

People like to argue & fight, and since fighters don't fight as much as they used to, fans just fill their time arguing about the bullshxt that doesn't matter like promoters.

That's actually a very rational take. Thank you.

The PBC/Floyd connection started it all. Before that most fans collectively agreed that all promoters were greedy opportunists.

You’ve completely missed the point. I don’t like Frank Warren but I respect him. Same with Don King, or even someone like Steve Jobs from a completely different walk of life.

People who come from nothing and consistently beat adversity to become successful in life have to be respected.

We clearly share very different values. No hard feelings, enjoy the card. It's a good one.

When pbc came out, that's when. And I was all for this new entity. I was living in Vegas at the time. Went to many of their shows and damn near watched em all on free TV. Then they started putting out more fodder than substance and with them having the biggest stable in boxing they turned into some bullshi.t
