oscar to save boxing

[cromwel1]

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

Someone pull the plug on this thread.

So are you saying the owner of Golden boy, Oscar Dela Hoya does not know what he is talking about because I am basically just repeating what he has said himself. now get off my thread you can.

If boxing is to become all it can be, the best needs to fight the best, only then will casual people stay up all night just to watch 30 minuts or less of fighting.

Boxing can be such a aniticlimax for many people, as soon as somone breaks through, the start boxing ones a year against handpicked apponents
That is the sure fire way of turning fans away.

But this last year as been much better, and Oscar has a great deal to do with it

I respect what he is doing

I can't stand MMA fagboys that don't know shit about boxing infiltrating the forums with ****** threads like this.

I would rather read Stax On Deck threads for the rest of the year.

"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."

This is the dumb part. The other part doesnt make this part true.

This^^ Golden boy will start to change all this hand picked fights once a year crap when they start to monopolise the sport. It needs to happen, give the fans what they want, more quality fights.

It's got nothing to do with mma fanboys you clown, it is about boxing getting more success from the ufc model of one promotion having all the best fighters signed under it so the fighters have no excuse not to fight the best.

You think this is "the ufc model?"...jeez way to lift your skirt and show how little you know about the history of boxing.

go look at a don king card from the 80s...the UFC didnt invent the best fighting the best, kid.

Not co-promoting doesn't save ****, and i'm so sick of this boxing needs saving/is dying narrative. F-off out of here casual fan. You don't know shi1t.

I like GBP but they aren't saving boxing. People box from kids to amateurs and always will. There are endless competitions to big fights World wide.

Boxing may not big big in the US as it once was, but it's big in the World. Look at the viewing figures World wide and then compare that to the UFC. How many shows does boxing do every week end and see what the UFC does. Boxing has more!

We need promoters from Bob, Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn, Gary Shaw, Dou Bella, Sauderland, Goosen etc... all these promoters big or small invest as much as they rip fighters off. Without them, these fighters would earn minimum wage.

A one tier system is very bad for boxing and fighters. It may seem pretty at the UFC but having one organisation dominating is bad for fighters. Wages are lower but also they are forced to stay on good terms and have not many real options to leave.

boxing isn't declining, it's just fine
dumbasses think the world revolves around the HW title
people aren't excited by the Klits, so boxing is "dead/dying/declining"
bullshit, the sport is ok and it's not going anywhere
soon Pac and Floyd will be gone and we'll get more sport than business
boxing hardly wilted after Tyson fell apart
