Yeah, what's another platform showcasing boxing at this point? There are so many. I can talk about how I miss the days of going to HBO and Showtime for the big fights, but really need to. Those golden days are over. Now you need to practically do research to identify when and where any fights are being shown because they're all over the place.

I appreciate ProBox for giving us live free fights on YT, but that's not really for the casuals. Casuals are looking to turn on the TV and just tune into some boxing that is happening live and possibly getting into the sport. That's unfortunately a bygone day. Now you either got Netflix and tune into a mega fight once or twice per year on it, or where else?

I mean they just upload fights minutes after on YT if you know where to look, boxing fans are an older crowd of guys for the most part who don't want a million apps and streaming subs. They need to figure out a way to pay these fighters while putting fights on regular tv.

I have a sinking feeling Opetaia - Ramirez is just not going to happen.

Here’s another fight that should be no where close to PPV status

And then we ask why boxing is on a decline

[Rumblerr]

Why do boxing fans complain about fights being on PVP? I believe that all fights should be on this platform. If you wish to see people hurt each other for a living, then you should be made to pay to see such events. If you don't like it, then don't support it, and go watch Tennis or volleyball. Spectators of combat sports should all be made to pay in order to watch such spectacle. If you don't have the courage to do it yourself, then be grateful and pay the required fee, you cowards!!!
