    What's wrong with Boxing?

    I posted this in a chat but from my thoughts what's wrong with boxing is there is no reward in winning anymore. Perfect example Cintron Got his ass whooped by Carlos Molina but yet he is getting a title shot. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Thoughts please also list what do u guys think is the biggest problem with boxing.

      Yeah, Canelo is a champion & hasn't even stepped to the elite level yet. Martinez got avoided even though he was Chavez's manditory. Pacman got away with murder last saturday in an obvious cherrypick, yeah it's all bad right now.

          I was telling my friend the other day I remember when everyone was saying Boxing was a betting mans sport because it took skill etc etc but now u can't say a guy is going to win based off skill because of corruption being blatant now like on Saturday. Don't get me wrong Pac tried but I told my friend u can tell he even felt he lost how he walked to the corner with his head down while Marquez had his hands up. How can we bet on that? i saw **** on Espn boxing done to this prospect and he said when things like this happen it makes the sport not even fun anymore. And atlas said it was a sad day for the sport

              The one thing UFC has over boxing is that boxing is corrupt. Dos Santos knocks out Cain, Dana just lost 100 000 possible Mexican buyers and throws a fit on live TV. Marquez out boxes Bob's cash cow? Make Pacquiao win by decision. To top it off, the entire HBO team agrees that Pacquiao won, it's like some kind of surreal alternate reality where winners lose, and losers win.

                  Too much politics behind the scenes. It ****s up the sport. Fat cats too concerned with how to line their pockets and not putting on shows that are really fair value to the public.

                  It's disgusting.

                    They only did this because they were banking on Bob making the Floyd fight but it backfired now they like well hopefully Marquez takes the fight and we can milk manny more. But as u can tell the public is mad and I wouldn't be surprised if the turn out is not as good this time around if they fight again because people truly believe only way u can beat pac now is with knockout
