    I'm guilty of complaining about promoters but sometimes I swear some of these boxing fans act like Eddie Hearn or Al Haymon (yes, not technically a promoter) ruined their lives.

    Don King sleeps on a dragon's hoard of stolen money and literally killed two people.

        Several of the biggest corruption scandals in boxing history are directly linked to him. No living person has done as much harm to the sport as Don King.

                Isn't a symbiotic relationship? I.e. you love this/these promoters and hate these other promoters? They're all the same as far as I can tell. For example, the same guys praising and defending PBC are the ones hating on Bob Arum, GBPs, Matchroom etc. While someone defending Matchroom is going to be hating on PBC, GBP, etc.

                  They're just dudes who provide mostly crap and when we're lucky they give us something good.

                    I believe a case can be made for righteous indignation. You know we live in this world we all come into the same way, Then as we age even in our younger days, gradually we are asked to endure more unfairness, crap, because some people just have more than others... Then we learn to enjoy things, hobbies and sports maybe and lo and behold... here come the s c u m bags! Everything becomes a buck for them... And it is usually the ones that have more than enough... Like Elon the narciscist Musky. A man who fires people that do real work and have integrity, takes credit for their efforts and demands an king's ransom for doing his job the worse... Tanking Tesla quite an achievement.

                    So while a man in the 40's had the same people s h i t ting on him, robber barons, little safety net, he could listen to the fights, then with television, he could watch the fights! Broadcasts like Pabs Blue Ribbon hour and Gillette, brought the fights to people and life was good, and lo and behold here come the S c u m Bs again. We had the mob, we had people figuring on a way to make that buck off the sweat of the fighters.

                    So today? you travel by air in a torture seat... and people endure it. You pay for the privalege of pulling down broadcasts in your public space, that your taxes take care of... And here come the likes of Bob Arum... 80 something, family taken care of but its not enough! Never is with these guys...Has to rip us off, make fighters hold off on fighting the best, because he apparently needs more sheckles. Mayweather's departure should have been a bellwether to all fighters.

                    King? Destroyed careers like Witherspoons, put fighters into impoverishment and made them hire his criminal family for outrageous sums of money. But hey.... wasn't he cute at the Broner fight? Just a nice old man waving his flag right? These bastards and the new breed, scammers like the Paul Brothers, who made their fortune ripping off young people and the guilable, by fixing the market for certain ****** product endorsements, can never get enough. As we speak? Bill Gates is allowed to buy farm land en masse, so this btard can eventually charge us more for food? And this all happens because people do not complain, we accept things, we get less and less, spending more and more and boxing is a great example of this! The Paul brothers are correct about one important thing. Like recording artists who sought to control the rights to their work, fighters can connect to the fans directly! Get rid of these middle men that have always been destructive to boxing, a true pasttime.

                    I swear this... People stop complaining and we get shiat on. Boxing promoters have destroyed what was one of the few things the working guy owned... In Murica, in the Pubs in Europe... I will keep complaining thank you.
