oscar to save boxing

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

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

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 are 100% correct. I recently had a discussion with some of the MMA fighters in my gym and they were telling me how in the past 2-3 years, boxing has put on better fights than MMA.

Oscar and GB are changing the game, they are making better PPV's, better matchups and we are seeing it.

Yeah I cover both boxing and MMA for ringtalk.com and I can honestly say boxing has had the more compelling matchups over the last few years. 2013 especially, boxing has been killing MMA. This is the best year of boxing in a while.

Also, the popular mma site bloodyelbow.com has been covering a lot of boxing this year. Just shows that the interest is there. I see people having knowledgable boxing discussions on that site.
