Now that Pac/Mosley is signed, should we support it for boxing's sake?

    But now that the fight is inked, should we support it for the sake of boxing as a sport?

    I am not a believer of boycott. It is bad for boxing as a whole so I am going to support this fight in spite of my uneasiness with this fight.

    Thoughts?
    trust me, no one on these forums actually pay for fights.

      I'll watch a stream if I'm not busy that night.

      Chances are I'll be somewhere else and won't watch unless the undercard has both Juanma and Yuri.

        i never liked all this support/boycott fights talk.

        if you want to buy it , buy it.

        if you don't , don't.

        simple.

        no need to support stuff or boycott stuff.

                It's bad 4 boxing 2 have fighters and promoters getting mega paydays by
                fighting washed up fighters and bums......when does it stop? when does the public take a stand?

                That's exactly why promoters do the **** they do because they know people will carry the aformentioned mindset as exhibited by your thread and buy the ppv anyway knowing its not worth it....

                I mean u can catch the fight 4 FREE the following week...a boycott or some sort of stance would be good as the only way to hurt Capitalists is to dig in their pockets...these janky promoters been digging their hands in our pockets 4 so long.....if a stance isn't taken then we as consumers will continue 2 fall 4anything as has been the case 4 quite some time now....

                Rage here is understandable and well taken. I am however, of the belief that ultimately it is boxing as a sport that suffers from boycott. There must be something that boxing fans can do without resorting to a little extreme measures such as boycott. . . You mentioned about not buying the PPV and just watch the stream after the fight. Without actually encouraging boycott, this could be another way of saying enough is enough.

                What I am trying to say here is to send a strong message to the promoters and fighters without going into boycott, that they can't **** with fans anymore with **** fights and expect support from fans. The indignations raise here could be sufficient.

                If there are other means, lets hear it here.

                    so um yeah.....actually not buying the ppv is a form of boycott but I assumed you knew that....my bad!
