Is Floyd hurting boxing by being the face of the sport?

[Holywarrior]

why am i not surprised to see posters extolling ppv numbers as a reason why floyd is good for the sport?

Its a bad thing that you have to go to the ppv route just to see the best players in a sport.

Imagine if you had to pay ppv just to see lebron, tiger woods, usain bolt, rafa nadal, messi, ronaldo, peyton etc..

i wonder of those athlete's fanbase would brag about having make so many people pay 50-70 bucks just to see them play.

"YEAAAA TAKE THAT FEDERER F@GS, RAFA SOLD 2 MILLION MORE PPVS THAN ROGER!!!! RAFA IS THE CASH COW OF TENNIS!!!!"

SMDH.

Talk about having your priorities in the right place.

You actually do have to pay extra for those sports though. the USA system even make syou pay extra for premium sports.

fraud is not only hurting the sport but also making it the laughing stock of all sports.

boxing used to be called the sport of gentlemen but now it's known as the sport of fraud. smdh...

Instead of whining like a child, state what your priorities are in the sport of boxing and how you want them fulfilled.

The difference between the other athletes and sports you named and boxing is the structures in which they operate. Do promoters, managers or even tv companies dictate who competes against whom in tennis? Boxers were dumping championship belts is dustbins (at the advice of promoters and when belts actually meant something), rather than the fights fans wanted, a while back. The problems with boxing go deeper than any one fighter, my friend.

Probably the worst comparisons I have ever seen in a post on NSB. You aren't this daft....are you...?

you do have to pay for those sports.. On every cable system in the world the NBA, soccer, NFL, hockey and baseball packages are add ons that you have to pay for. Its no different than floyd and manny.

The difference is those sports have more games and local franchises and cable TV deals so you see them more.

and two floyd f@g boys are of course in disagreement.

yea having your fans pay $50-70 just to see your best players is a bad thing.

at not being a valid comparison. I mean is boxing still a sport or not?

if boxing is still a sport then i stand by posts that ppvs are bad for boxing and that having your fans have to pay $50-70 just to see your best athletes is bad in the long run.

Its a short sighted money grab rationalized as a way to continue business in boxing.

But go right ahead floyd stans, revel in ppv #s.

Only in boxing can fans of certain fighters be so happy charging fans 50-70 bucks to watch their best players.

I mean i shouldnt be surprised, these are the same type of people who would literally kill for floyd.

sad situation.

The irony..... the guy in your avatar was everything a "gentleman" should be, right? Iron Mike was nova in a dull period of boxing, but you could go in on him if you were type of "fan" inclined to do so.

The problem with your argument is, besides that you have the same level of intelligence as a birther, is you pay for every sport on TV. You are purposely ignoring this fact.

If you think paying for access for the best fights is bad-we agree. If you think it damages the long term potential for the sport-thihistory shows it hasn't.

What hurt boxing is the mainstream networks don't show it anymore. All the sports you mentioned-the networks show.

If you were really being serious about this argument you'd have pointed out that pay cable was the only place boxing could go once the mainstream networks stopped showing it. This happened long before floyd.

Then again all you really wanted to do was post floyd f@gs.

Kuykuyut is a pacterd and never watched boxing in the 90s dont let a silly av fool you.

Ideally the face of boxing would be someone who fights often, fights the best possible opponents and has a crowd pleasing style. No hate but Floyd does none of that.

Boxing is selling more PPVs a year than it ever has. I'd say it's much more popular than 10 years ago so no he's not hurting it.

might also be because there are too many ppvs as well! 2 by mayweather, 3 by canelo, 2 by manny, 1 by martinez/cotto, 1 by jccjr/ggg(not yet confirmed).

way too many imo. canelo fights shouldnt be ppv as long as he's not a champion or not fighting another champion. even the jccjr/ggg fight shouldnt be a ppv imo.

He helps it by being a brand name that crosses over to other forms of entertainment.

He hurts it by lowering the standard for what's considered compelling matchups.
