“Boxing is the worst sport ever and is lucky to have any fans at all. Boxing fans get disrespected worse than any fans in the world.

They pay for inferior product a lot of times and never get the product that they want. The customer is never right in boxing and gets whatever garbage is thrown their way by the powers that be and then the powers that be wonder why boxing has lost so much popularity.”


Bravo, sir! I couldn’t have said it better myself.

The boxing Powers That Be treat the fans like mushrooms…they keep them in the dark and feed them bullsh-t.

People actively involved in the sport ans making a living at it, like Edwards, are going to see the fans in a different light.

Boxing has always been a dirty and corrupt sport, one of the worst in terms of fairness and payoffs and bad judges.....cherry picking fighters, all talk no smoke fighters......guided careers and protected fighters. Etc.

That said, it can create some beautiful moments.

Why is it so hard to understand that Canelo absolutely wants the Bivol rematch but only at 175. !? It’s totally obvious to anyone but the
most obdurate antifans that Canelo would receive absolutely no credit if he agreed to fight Bivol at 168 like Bivol wanted,foh,people obsessed with envy,hate and jealousy.

if he really REALLY wanted the Bivol rematch, he would have offered him a better deal than the first fight.

So you’re privy to the details of the negotiations or you just know what you’ve read? You were part of the negotiations? Lol

Hat off to you Breadman. I second your take on boxing "fans" and I share your opinion of Barney Ross.

If his action in the ring doesn't impress, how about this? Following his boxing career, Ross was a marine in the South Pacific during WWII. One night, he and three other comrades were trapped under enemy fire. All four were wounded; Ross was the only one able to fight. Ross gathered his comrades' rifles and grenades and single-handedly fought nearly two dozen Japanese soldiers over an entire night, killing them all by morning. Two of the Marines died, but he carried the third on his shoulders to safety; the other man weighed 230 lb (104 kg) compared to Ross' 140 lb (64 kg).
