Yeah boxing is as it's always been....it had a few years as a low but now it's back.With that been said you can't compare boxing with the UFC because boxing hasn't been like the ufc in decade not since there were fewer weight classes and singular but real champion per weight class.But you got to give to Oscar and Golden boy for putting the best boxing card Floyd VS Canelo since ive been watching boxing and making great deals with showtime and fs1.

HW boxing has been on the decline; boxing best PPV usually outells the UFC best PPV.

It's easy for the UFC because they control 95% of the MMA talent out there. And as the company grew they bought out all their competitors and were able to monopolize the sport. Here's an idea. Just go tell Bob Arum to sell his company to Golden Boy. Boom easy fix right there.

Yes but the ufc is more consistent with its ppv's. Oscar said he wants that with golden boy, putting on much more fan pleasing fights on every card. He has done a great job with the this next event.

Ye thats the biggest problem at the moment with boxing, its difficult to put great fights together that the fans want to see because of promoters. Golden boy should try and monopolise the sport like the ufc did, so all fighters can fight eachother, not just the ones in their promotions.

The way Golden Boy is rolling right now I wouldn't be surprised if they make a play for Top Rank in 3 to 4 years. Bradley, Rigo, and others have been public about their rifs with Bob Arum. That has to damage TR's reputation a little bit. And the way Al Haymon and Richard Shaefer are aligned right now monopolization is a real possibility down the line.

Lets hope so, that would be awesome to have one leading promotion in boxing with all the top fighter signed with them.

We all know that boxing has been on a decline since the tyson era and only mayweather is really keeping it alive, mainly because the casuals want to see him get ko'd because of his arrogance. Dela Hoya has been looking into the success of the ufc and is planning on using part of its model for golden boy promotions. using proper ranking systems, making the fighters actually fight people the fans want to see and making the live shows more entertaining for the fans between fights. The question is can golden boy help make boxing more popular again to the casuals or does boxing need another heavyweight like tyson.

You have no idea what you are talking about and you contradicted yourself big time.

Someone pull the plug on this thread.
