Lately there's a lot of pressure on some fighters to be "fan friendly" in part due to the cold war between GBP and Top Rank, to add to that there is a ton more pressure added on to them to give us a war every time by the networks trying to 1 up each other for fight of the year, and that's how they are being sold to the world as ferocious punching bags not as great boxers anymore.
Is this costing great fighters fights and will this cost them their health? Is this what the sport coming down to are we going to see a decline on talented skillful boxers thanks to this shift in boxing of Blood over Skills? Prime example last night Mares went full on wreck-loose as he had a reputation to uphold or Lara being Mr brawler with frikking Angulo and almost getting KTFO for the sake of being "Fan Friendly" or risk getting shunned to the corner comes to mind.
What do you Guys think skills dont pay the bills in the future anymore, no more room for Ali in our future? Is it going to be either be a Media wh0re or a tough headed brawler or you get shunned because it seems we are well underway in that direction and boxers know it too.
