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

[Wolfie*]

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 feel you bruh. I feel the same way. Hopefully 2015 is a better year.

This is why I canceled Showtime.

The Haymon fighters never lose, and are always the favorite, its pointless.

chill out dude, i know this year is been the worst year in the 2010s

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.

Have to admit I'm currently headed in this direction.

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.

i agree. boxing is a joke sport for entertainment purpose and isn't really meant to be taken seriously anymore.

boxing is basically a less campy version of WWE.

if people want to watch serious and REAL combat sports then they should watch UFC, MMA, MPL, etc.

[El-blanco]

I still love watching it and find plenty of competitive fights, especially in the lower weights. The problem is the stars of the sport are in uncompetitive matches. This isn't 40 years ago when guys fought often, these guys fight 2,3 times a year and quite a few of them are facing guys they were fighting earlier in their career when they were on the come up. It's a turn off and a waste of time. I doubt many of us would watch an nfl game if we're 99 % certain on who would win. Hell the raiders just beat the niners, that would never happen in boxing. It's too predictable.

I am tired of it, but it's been like that since time began. Boxing has always been dirty and even in the past it took time to make certain fights.

As much as it isn't so great match up wise, I can't follow any other sports. Boxing is what I love.

Haha.

Also the UFC is cheesey as ****. Joe Rogan is a car salesman trying to sell you how good a fighter is even when they are ****. He recently said someone isn't good enough which is great because the way he hypes a fighter is tedious. I wanted to like the UFC but there is too much wrestling, inactive moments and ****ty decisions.
