Would Boxing be Dead after Mayweather and Pacquiao retires?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

it's kinda dead now

[sicko]

NO but I do think we will see a struggle period. I have doubts we will see another fighter consistently break 1 Million PPV Buys like they did for awhile if ever. Also not sure when we will get another fighter that come along that can draw the Casual Fans Interest like they can.

Canelo leads the pack of next generation Draws but that is mostly because of Mexican Fans, not sure if he will ever be a Crossover Superstar like Pacquiao or Mayweather but he will draw well.

I have my doubts if we will see another Crossover SUPERSTAR like those two again.

Mayweather,Pacquiao,Amir Khan,Canelo are the only popular names in Boxing left and boxing is revolving around these 4.

Hey sometimes that is what it takes to grab the attention of the Casual Fans

Haymon is killing boxing right now. Everyone is signing up with him. Everyone wants to get big paychecks for fighting tomato cans.

Plenty of fans were watching boxing long before Pac and Floyd came into the picture. Plenty of fans will be watching when they leave. Fans that only followed these two fighters can leave with them when they retire.

Who would Sell the PPVs???

I'm afraid MMA/UFC might just take Over


Edit: I didn't really mean exactly 'Dead' what I meant was would it take a huge step back & lose a lot of viewers also hide in the shadows for some while when these 2 would retire? and the growing popularity of other Combat sports really fears me to think so.

If boxing is compiled of half assed fans like you .. Boxing module has been around through thick and thin and belive it or not ufc is on the decline with relatively no talent outside of one weight class .. They won't even pay their most entertaining fighter to come fight :/ .. Boxing has so much young talent coming up .. Not to mention the stars those two built in the past 3-4 years enough to sustain .. I mean does boxing die when those two are not fighting now ..?

[al-Xander]

If it's dying it's because you people can't stop talking about Mayweather and Pacquiao. It's one of the reasons why Haymon and his fighters get away with making garbage fights. Fans need to laser focus on other fighters and raise their voices when garbage fights are being forced-fed.

How am I a troll and a Khan tard? please explain? I like a lot of boxers (Froch,Manny,Khan,Thurman,Groves,Frampton,Brook,Ca nelo etc) not just 1 boxer unlike you, who probably only follow Maidana or Mayweather, perhaps.

gtfo.

Except just glancing at my sig proves otherwise, as I have my list of favorite fighters there. Nice try troll.
