Every Boxers Should Fight 4 Times a Year... Right?

[-PBP-]

Depends on who.

you really dont understand why fighters dont fight more than twice once they reach a certain level?

most of them, no.

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

No. Why? Nowadays boxers are hitting way less than 100 fights before they retire. SRR has over 100 fights I think, he's a GOAT. So what your point that have to 'reach certain levels'.

Once you are at a level where you have network exposure are making 750K-1mm+ per fight, the fighters of today would rather reduce the amount of punishment they endure and extend their careers.

A boxing year can only serve so many PPV fights, and you arent going to fight on regular HBO or showtime for 10 cents on the dollar.

you should actaully look at robinson's resume before you talk about it, doggie.

No. Injuries, promotion, scheduling and money would prevent those things from happening.

As things stand there's enough boxing events on a monthly basis, so I do not really see the need of seeing certain fighters fight 4 times a year; if anything them doing so would detract from the exposure of less known fighters.

[AntonTheMeh]

if you're still fighting 10 rounders, yes. still fighting 4 rounders? you should be fighting a minimum of 4 times a year. 12 rounds a fight? a maximum of 3 a year.


i just pulled those numbers out of my ass but i think they make sense.

[Sam Donald]

would you want to go work or would u rather be on a light schedule n be on vacation most of the year

To the PPV reasoning why should that be an excuse? It's a landscape that should be able to accomodate 3-4 fights per year. Heck, instead of 2 PPV's at $50 each or whatever, have 4 at $25 each. The guy buying 1 of the 2 fights at $50, likely still spends $50 on 2 very slightly lesser cards...instead.

There's less of a PPV focus in the UK and some other countries and it's still roughly the same.

I think the progessively worsening issues for all to see are:

-Injuries; both genuine and fake.
-Promoters; jockeying, delaying, protecting, prolonged bargaining.
-Boxers; All of the above, but increasingly doing it just for the longterm £'s and not the love of the sport.

-Networks; not being willing to put on more fights even if it could be done by spreading out the PPV costs.

This isnt an opinion, there are only so many PPV events that people will pay for, hence why most cards are on regular TV and not PPV. a great example is GB making the Broner card a regular tv event. Its always been a balancing act

Networks dont put on PPVs, promoters do.
