    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.
    lol this is all boxing fans have left to defend their sport, In NFL the teams play 16 games during a 17-week period, In MLB each team plays 162 games a season, in NBA each team plays 82 games a season.

    Now in Boxing the top fighters box twice a year, three times if we are lucky. How is that even comparable? How can you bring in facts about "under 50% win".

    F.uck off

      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.
      I've watched PLENTY of good fights this year. It'd already have been a superb year, if it ended right now. Only more and more good fights will add up. 3x Super six, where all is open!!!

        The best have never fought the best this isn't something new. Paging Harry Wills, Paging Sam Langford, Paging Nino Valdes, Paging Tommy Hurricane Jackson...etc,etc.

          I'm afraid to say MMA is winning the battle of the casual fan these days

            The fights and fighters are there and so is the interest, but boxing's mismanagement is really showing this year.

              All thanks to Floyd.. He made Ducking to a new level. coming up with this nonsense Olympic drug testing and picking opponents.

                Boxing has been a joke for since the string of fights in April/May ended.

                  meh, its not that bad. people are mostly just upset Pacquiao-Mayweather isnt happening, and I dont really blame you.

                  but there have been a lot of quality fights this year too.

                    Hmm, tonight Cris Arreola is fighting on Friday Night Fights. Tomorrow is Dawson-Pascal, and also tomorrow night's Top Rank Live main event between Kim and Vazquez will be an all out war.

                    I think boxing is doing just fine (and that's for just this weekend)...
