Superstar extinction: Where does boxing go if the superstar dies out?

[Las Vegas,]

we don't need another floyd-oscar.

the highest selling ppv of all time, and it ****** ass.

a lot of my friends who were casual fans were turned off.

What made those people order the PPV in the first place son? Floyd wasn't fighting the best. He was fighting an old man.

We as fans can only sit back and watch,if it was up to me and i was the matchmaker for hbo or showtime,i would be running to Wolak and Rodriguez with contracts give each a quarter mill you have a great fight at a cheap price.

Ryanns a good poster no need to call him son lets keep this civil.

I cant stand fake wrestling,but you got to admit they promote and sell there product well,look at what Chael Sonnen has done in a few years,he got into Anderson Silvas head bad.

You were not amped for every Tyson press conference 95 percent of the time they were better then his fights but fans will always tune in,the sportsmanship in boxing has gone to far i want fighters to hate each other not touch gloves every rd and suck each others ****s at press conferences.

mike tyson was exciting. he had that aura of invincibility and some people were thinking he's on his way to be the best heavyweight ever at that time.

him being unstable mentally didn't draw the fans. its the way he is seen as being invincible and his killer ko's

[Las Vegas,]

being a "character" is pretty good drawing the casual fans. but when they see that dude fight, and it ****** then what?

Nothing. Casual fans are casual fans. They'll always tune in to the big fights. It's always a risk, if it sucks. Oh well move on to the next one. If it's good, then you make alot of new fans.

That's how it works.

Khan, Ortiz, Alvarez are the future superstars

Against Lewis i thought he had no chance going in,most casuals thought the same,it was i am going to eat your children then praising his god,adding onto him biting Evanders ear off.

LOL. That's all I needed to know Ryann. Have a great day sir.

you fail to see my point.

that fight was promoted well, managed to draw the casual fans cause of floyd's "trash talking".

yeah, it drew the casual fans but then what? people were actually turned off because floyd says he'll do this, he'll do that and then it turned out to be a multi million sparring match.

my point is, boxing needs more people who are exciting when they fight, not people who talk well outside of it.

characters aren't necessary.

[Ryannn]

LOL. That's all I needed to know Ryann. Have a great day sir.

so, you think all being the same except mike being sane would affect his popularity?

he'd still have his killer knockouts, his aura of invincibility etc.
