Boxing is becoming a joke.

[sweetpea87]

I agree. I have never cared about sports and when I found boxing I became a die hard fan, watching any fight that was on. Now with all the ****ty alphabet belts, top fighters not fighting each other over bull****, weak undercards and numerous other things its really killing my interest. Like last weekend I left town so I did not get to see the Alexander fight when 2 years ago I would have made my plans for another weekend so I could see the fight. It just keeps getting worse and it is going to keep getting worse until I stop watching live fights all together and just watch classic fights.

dont watch it. why are you crying to a bunch of men

The best aren't fighting the best.

The best aren't fighting often enough.

Too many postponements/cancellations.




I've started to become very tired of it. I love the sport, when they are in the ring and ready to fight.

It's just starting to turn me into a "casual" fan again.

This has become a part-time sport.

This statement makes it seem as if you really dont watch boxing or have the true "love" you say you do. Because the state that boxing is in right now is an age old story. Unless youve been watching boxing since pre 1950s

This is a bad year in boxing. That's all, it's a horrible year.


As soon as Mayweather kicks Pacquiao's butt in 2011, maybe things will calm down, top fighters will stop trying to wait for both Mayweather AND Pacquiao(Like Mosley did and like Williams is doing).

It's not even Mayweather and Pacquiao Arum/GBP's fault alone. Other fighters in other weight classes from other promoters are slacking too.

It has been a bad year, i agree with what you say and i also don’t like the fact there isn’t one champ in each division and the promoters. What boxing really needs is more central organisation and to be package much better as a whole. Even though i hate him boxing needs someone like Bernie Ecclestone to come in, before Ecclestone F1 was backward with little TV coverage and little money.
Someone needs to take full control take over all promotion sell the TV rights as packages for a certain amount of time as part of TV package there would be a solid card every Saturday, i would also reduce the number of PPV increase promotion of fights and take over all sanctioning of fights. Every champion would have to make at least 1 mando defence every year against the best challenger.

It's been a ****ty year but this is a bad ass weekend.

Arreola on FNF's then Pascal vs Dawson on HBO, I can see how people can get frustrated over fights that don't happen or get canceled. That's always happened but this year has ****** major ****, peaks and valleys.

Word........this has been a horrible year for boxing

[Wowbagger]

there should be as many federations as there are boxers. Then everyone would be world champion...

Seriously, what's the point having that many federation. That dilute talent way too much.

[Blue Heffner]

Yeah, boxing is becoming a joke...even the way they market it. It's filled with a bunch of old heads running **** who are afraid of change.

Dawson is gonna' fight Pascal this weekend. Should be a pretty good fight.

There hasn't been too many weekends this year w/o a pretty good fight to watch on tv. WTF else you want? At least we don't have to deal with an off season. Also what about when the Super Bowl champs play a team that's under 50% win? Same in Baseball and Basketball and nearly every other sport as well? Do you complain about that?

Boxing is fine. Pull up your panties and enjoy the fights this weekend.
