Comments Thread For: The mission to save Olympic boxing

[landotter]

The world changes. Boxing as a sport is having a nice resurgence. There is ton of streaming services in need of content, and while I do not particularly like the Saudi involvement, I cannot argue facts. It has been good for the sport.

I cannot imagine a world where boxing is not a part of the Olympics, but honestly if the financial and administrative backing is not there, I suppose the world will keep turning and pro boxing will give us a ton of things to argue about. I did not watch any of the last Olympics, and boxing was hard to find on it when I looked despite there being like 6 channels on my Hulu dedicated to coverage.

To paraphrase the Hall of Fame worthy boxer Ivan Drago: "If it dies, it dies."

I can't imagine the Olympics without Boxing ! What would Zeus and the other, Gods Of Olympus have to say about that ? Somebody better get ready to dodge some serious thunder bolts ! Zeus and them don't play.

Not even sure what you're trying to say but if you're in support of anything other than the automatic inclusion of boxing in every Olympic Games unto eternity...

...then you're messed up & not only do I disagree with you but I hate you as well. Very personally.

The issue isn't about "automatic inclusion" of boxing, but about how it's administered. As far as the IOC is concerned, no one is administering amateur boxing right now and they recognize that.

Dial the hate down and re-read what I quoted in the article, if not what I said.

Immediately shut your dumb mouth all the way tf up, I don't trust you.

No. And trust in me has nothing to do with it. Reading comprehension does.

Fool, the IOC is the REASON no-one is administering amateur boxing.

Trust in you has everything to do with it when I don't know for whom you work lol.

Like the police is the REASON Bob Menendez is no longer a senator from New Jersey.
Pretend that you're persuasive to someone else.

You insist on missing the point.
As I said earlier, reading comprehension matters.
