I Literally Have No Interest In Mosley/Pacquiao Fight Camp 360

[DARKSEID]

This literally doesn't make me enjoy it any less

Fight Camp bored the hell out of me. 24/7 once again dominates with it's hollywood type production value.

And how is Boxing being featured on CBS (and possibly an actual boxing show in the future) a bad thing? People make no sense.

Yeah I'm with you guys on this one. The only counter-argument I've seen is that it promotes a matchup which is "bad for boxing" (completely opinion-based imo).

Any means to attract a broader audience is good for the sport. Die-hards may be put off but, honestly, who cares? They'll skip this fight and then continue being a fan of boxing. No harm done.

Because, if they show crap then it could kill any chance boxing going back to any network.

This deal can make or break boxing going back to the networks.

And, if this kills that opportunity it hurts the sport.

How can anybody not get this?

We already don't have boxing on Versus, and why is that?

ruining boxing to get back on networks hurt the sport.

How is the sport of boxing being misrepresented and being taken advantage of when a show is being shown on national television leading to more exposure? I seriously don't get it. It wins over the casual fan and for the hardcore fans is just an extra treat there if you want to watch it. If you really 'love' the sport as you like to say you should be happy it's being represented on a big channel like CBS. Publicity is publicity, whether good or bad. It sure as hell wont hurt the sport in any way shape or form. It's not like people will stop watching boxing because a Pacquiao fight is getting more publicity and exposure then usual.

Finally, somebody with a brain! This whole thing can only be good for boxing.

I believe messageboards were created to post opinions and beliefs. I'm complaining because I love the sport and when I feel the sport is being misrepresented and taken advantage of, I will speak on it.

You'r an idiot dude. You can speak all you wan't doesn't mean your opinion is valid or true. You already don't like the fight to begin with so your opinion is already tainted with biasness. This does nothing but HELP the sport you love. When was the last time you seen boxing on primetime NATIONAL TV??? You should be happy that the masses can see this and maybe warm up to the idea of watching the fight and following boxing. Boxing is going no where with a bunch of geeks typing on a keyboard complaining about everything. Stuff like this is what can help boxing get back into the spot light. You should be glad that boxing is even getting this attention. Being on NATIONAL TV in a prime time slot is a HUGE thing. Quit *****ing and don't watch. I hope millions of people catch this on CBS if it means getting the attention of casuals again and bringing boxing back to state it was in the 90's.

Sorry but I don't buy this. Casual fans simply saw a lackluster fight in DLH/Mayweather. And while it's true that some casuals may not have come back (probably an insignificant percentage), boxing's true core viewer base remained unaffected, i.e. one lacking fight is not going to make a hardcore fan stop watching altogether. It didn't "hurt the sport."

This may not be a good thing to bring up since this board is largely anti-MMA, but I visited the Sherdog forums right after the Pac-Marg fight, and many of the hardcore MMA fans not only saw the fight, but commented that it was a "great fight" even though it was a one-sided beating. Does it mean much? No. But the casual viewership response was positive.

While this fight is very lacking to the hardcore boxing fan (I'm personally not very interested but will probably tune in anyway), it is good for boxing, if only for Pacquiao's style. Many casual fans feel like they get their money's worth with Pacquiao fights, no matter one-sided they may be. I'm sure he --along with the sport-- has picked up tons of casual fans in his last few fights, and will continue to do so with Mosley in the opposite corner.

I was about to say the same thing.

I mean look at Tyson vs Sheldon, Tyson vs McNeely and Tyson vs Bruno. People d@mn well knew the outcome of those fights but those bouts still did big numbers, PPV wise.


People were tuning in to see action (Tyson bouts) and that is what they will get whether it's Shane and Manny going back n forth for a few rounds, or Manny beating the **** outta Shane for 12 rounds.


If people choose not to watch...cool, but this bout will still do big numbers regardless.....which is a good thing for the sport of boxing.

I also forgot to mention that many of Tyson bouts, that were huge mismatches, brought many people to the sport. How that hurts boxing is beyond me.

I mean this is almost no chance that this will be boring as Shane will not run or hug (ala Andre Berto). The only scenarios I see are:

1. This being a back n forth slug fest for a few rounds.

2. Manny dominating Shane.

Either way, there were be action, which is all the casual fans care about.

ummm what?!? How exactly is this fight going to hurt those chances? We're talking about Manny Pacquiao, the most entertaining fighter in the ring today. If anything, its a postive because Manny puts on a show and has lots of fans. People love the guy. Sure, its not the best fight available but you can bet your dollar that it will be very entertaining to the fans who watch it.

Who gives a crap about Versus? Boxing is already on ESPN and Fox Sports, two networks that are bigger than Versus. We're talking about Network TV like CBS and right now, this is great for boxing.

Oh I see, I guess boxing fans don't want other networks to show even more boxing.

What kind of fans are you people.
