    Yes, I only tune in for the big fights. Other than that, I don't watch it.

      do not turn boxing into American football with tailgaters who dedicate weekends to spectating rofl

      maybe 5 or 6 actives max at a time worth following closely

      A major event every 2 to 3 months
      They should start staging boxing tournaments every now and then.. 6 man tournaments. bring some excitement back.

          Not to get off on a tangent, and I am halfway in a meeting now so I may ramble. But as I wrote earlier, the division amongst differing promotional groups has caused a lot of these problems in my opinion. Part of the cause is them realizing that the most money to be made comes from having a big name boxer in their stable, and that the easiest way to create a big name boxer is to protect that '0'.

          Ergo, the best way to make money is to have a fighter with an '0' who you can market. So now these fighters and promoters are less inclined to fight as often as before.

            Tournament is where Usyk showed the rest of the world outside of Russia what COSSACK is

              Biggest thing for me are no free televised fights. Boxing used to be everywhere. Flip through the Spanish channels and find some boxing. USA Tuesday Night Fights. If you had a subscription to HBO or Showtime anyway, you always had boxing. Now, ESPN - the leader in televised sports, doesn't even carry the sport. The prices being charged for PPVs are ridiculous and the majority of the events aren't even PPV worthy. I had DAZN in the beginning and they slowly priced themselves out.

                  In a way think Alashikh is hurting the sport. He is stacking cards with box office matches and this is reducing the amount of shows in usa etc.

                    coincidentally Usyk and TBud are also hurting the sport by setting an example of the one fight per year program

                      I agree with that. The boxers are to blame also. They get paid far too much money and this takes away their motivation to be active.
