Are big paydays having a negative impact on boxing?

[Crazylegs77]

I mean we have non mainstream star class (albeit good) fighters on regular HBO making millions for fighting now..


Do you think it is a positive or negative on the sport?

[Weebler I]

Bad for the sport, the best don't fight the best regularly enough.

Good for the fighters, they get rich...but then again most of them can't handle money and end up fcuking their lives anyway.

Oh without doubt it is getting to the point where it is bad for the sport. Fighters getting well paid is a good thing, but not to the point where they can seemingly hold the entire sport hostage.

yeah well said thats how it feels theres no incentive when your already a millionaire.

At times yes, but think about it, where should money that is available for our boxers go instead? The pockets of the white collars jerk offs who never even step in the ring?
