What do you guys think of the "boxing is dying" talk now???

[shadeyfizzle]

Just makes me think about all the talk of boxing "apart from the couple of big stars boxing has at any given time....there's not really much for boxing to fall back on." Tonight was a really bad night for boxing.

Whatever credibility the super 6 had left was completely dismantled tonight and is now a sham.

Guzman vs Funeka was a sham.

Pacquiao vs Clottey undercard was very good on paper but ended up being a sham.

Floyd vs Mosley will be a sham.

Why cant boxing get it's **** together and actually give back to the fans who are lining their pockets with millions???

At least in asia they're giving the fans the highly awaited kameda-wonjongkam fight.

omg how do you know the mosley vs mayweather fight will be a sham? it is one of the most anticipated fights ever lol that alone proves boxing isnt dead aswell as the pacquaio fight with 50,000 ticket sales to the fight alone, wow end of thread/

anticipated doesnt = delivery.

mayweather-delahoya was highly anticipated and was the best selling ppv in history. but you'd be hard pressed to find a hardcore boxing fan who can call it memorable, let alone a casual fan.

50,000 tickets with pacquiao-clottey is a testament to pacquiao's starpower. it's undercard while very good on paper was a complete waste of time and money. I much rather enjoyed the non-televised portion of the undercard than the featured.

And no matter how you look at it may-mosley and pac-clottey is not may-pac.

no my point is that pacquaio could draw 50.000 fans to one fight no one could have done that in 2005. and the may mosley fight is good because that anticipation builds up and gathers more fans, which is only good for the sport. i honestly cant see why anyone can say 'boxing is dead' after the last couple of months even years.

Casual fans think boxing is dying or dead.

boxing as a sport would never ever die. It's the 2nd oldest sport in the world for a reason.

But recent events seem to deal 1 devastating blow after another to boxing politics.

Sometimes I kind of wish boxing as a business industry would hurry up and die already so it can be rebuilt from the ground up with special attention to fan service.
