Love the Sport, but I have grown tired and havelost interest in Boxing.

I'am loosing interest in boxing, it's gotten to a point where it's just too boring and predictable. Fighters are not willing to fight each other since it doesn't make business sense, "why take risk against a dangerous opponent when you can fight 10 bums". Fighters are being brough up extremely slow, only to find out that 10 years later, he wasn't that good to begin with. And promoters letting fights marinate for years, and usually never get made.
What bothers me the most is that boxing fans are trying to think like a promoter and agree with them, saying "that makes sense, why fight tougher challanges where he might loose". When it's not their Job to think like a promotor, a fan should act like they're suppose to, act like a boxing fan, a fan of a competitive professional sport. If You dont act like a boxing fan, then who will ?, promoters will feed you bs, wasting your money, and something far more important...time.

They're not wasting my time anymore. I'm only watching the most competitive fights. Even if that means watching one event a year, or none at all. In the meantime, promoters can take their sweet time letting fights "Marinate for years", fighting bum after bum, but that will be without me, i'll tune in once the fight i want to see is made, in the mean time i will be saving my time and money elsewhere...

.....Just a tired boxing fan.

I'm sure i'am not the only one who feels this way, cheers

I couldn't agree more.I suggest you start watching mma also to fill your combat sport needs.Now there the fights actually happen that fans want to see!

Agree, but I can't leave it, just yet. I already told my GF for her not to expect to see me this Saturday.

It's just entertainment at this point. Accept it for what it is or you'll drive yourself crazy.

Managers and promoters invest millions into these fighters and a single loss kills their investment. That's why they carefully pick the right opponents.

Given that ratings and PPV buys are on a steady decline, you're not the only one. I've definitely lost interest in the sport. I used to tune in to every match possible, but now I only care to watch the more notable ones.

[Bullrider]

That's why you need to start enjoying fantasy fights discussions and pretend they'll eventually happen.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Thing is, it never gets to a point where I'm not watching any of the upcoming events. I'm just hoping we get more talent in the sport, that's about it.

[Weltschmerz]

I agree.

Long gone are they days where the best fighters would just fight the other best fighters... Its all Down to promotion and business these days, especially with all these belts/titles at stake.

Still, I tune into many fights, just for the love of the sport, especially when it comes to up and coming prospects who are hungry and not just in it for the Money yet, so to speak.
