Ehm do boxing fans actually want the best fights?

[kurt0411]

Because it doesn't seem like it. No matter which boxer you support,you want them to fight the best fights possible right? Apparently not.

Surely we don't care about how much money they are going to make or what not? It's not like we are going to get a cut are we?

I can't believe I am seeing " boxing fans" trying to justify why some boxers aren't fighting others. We've already went through this with the infamous floyd vs pac, still going on 6 years later, now stevensson vs kovalev as well??

Come on the promoters have * this sport enough already, we can't let it get any worse

Some fans are just ashamed their favourite fighters are avoiding dangerous opponents so they become online businessmen and co-sign the ducking.

Hurts less than acknowledging the truth I suppose, but behind the pretence they know what's up.

It's utterly ridiculous listening to some of these guys speak as though they are literally getting paid to write some of the stuff.

if you notice , its floyd fans and fans defending stevenson based on ....something not to do with what real boxing fans judge a situation on.

i lost respect for some posters such as larry who i had interesting back and forth debates with in the past that i enjoyed, and about 3 or 4 other guys. i refuse to engage with any debate with them from now on regarding any boxing topic

This ^^^^ it's like larryxxx trying to justify Adonis moving to showtime and not fighting Kovalev because it's "smart business" somehow. Lol.

I've noticed that aswell! Larry made 2 threads defending Stevensons duck move.

You'd have a point if fans on NSB were actually consistent.

WHen certain fighters don't "fight the best" there is an uproar. WHen other fighters don't fight the best they get a pass. Let's look at WW for example.

When SHane Mosley was considered the best ww in the world Floyd Mayweather fought and defeated him. Floyd, since then has been the lineal champ (some like poster techliam and the TRBB disagree) and clearly the best ww in the world.

Of the top 5 ranked ww, only JMM has fought him. Tim and Manny have not. Tim nor Manny have never fought the best ww in the world at any point in their careers. Yet it's floyd that people say didn't fight the best in the division. Does that make sense?

As for holding promoters accountable, I think you should look at the networks. Take for example the MW division.

HBO, according to many posters on NSB, wants a GGG/Sergio fight badly. Sergio has refused this fight. He has an HBO deal. How does HBO "punish" him for not giving them the fight they and fans want-by heavily promoting and allowing him to use their PPV apparatus to show his fight with Miguel Cotto from MSG. HMm, thats some real anger. They are using the same apparatus to show GGG/Chavez Jr.

SO instead of fans getting sergio v GGG on regular TV (since niether has proven to be a ppv a side) we have to pay for not 1, not 2 , but 3 fights just to get the one fight we want. SO a fight that should be the headliner on HBO WCB will end up costing us at least $150 to view 3 ppv's. SHowtime is no better stringing out QUillin defenses as filler for undercards rather than put him in with a real fighter.

SO I'm with you if you want to see the best fights. Just make sure you go after the real entity causing us not to see these fights.

Apparently not, some fans are happy with $70 mismatches.

[junior gong]

Boxing fans do. Floydgimps want slick binnis deals.

[Derranged]

Its not that they don't want the best fights, its just that some fans are so gay for their heroes that they'll defend any decision they make.
