    Has anyone else lost interest in boxing? these guys aren't fighting each other!!

    The sport is so bad now. Haymon is building up PBC cards with mismatches, theres tons of quality fights that could be made, but no one will ****ing fight each other !

    Ward-Kovalev

    GGG-Cotto

    Khan-Brook


    are some of the best fights in boxing, but theres just no sign of them happening....its pathetic af.

    I dont see how anyone can be happy at the state of things right now...its just ******ed. Such a boring sport to follow. We get a few 4-5 good top level fights per year and thats it...if even that.


    Theres good fighters, in their prime, at the same ****ing weight, who won't even consider fighting each other...while they fight continual mismatches.


    I love this sport and always will, but I'm going back to mainly watching football and mma. This sport just isn't providing any incentive to want to watch it.


    also i don't know where the **** all this money is coming from...especially the money haymon is paying his guys . that **** is gonna dry up real ****ing soon.

          for ****s sake people spend WAY more time on these boards talking about promoters, al haymon, tv ratings, ppv buys etc, than about actual match ups.

            I hear you bro, not enough people wanting to be legends too much about making money, now days there is a real lack of 50-50 fights and it sucks BIGTIME

              what's annoying, is in divisions where there is a money man, the top contenders are skirting around each other and rarely fight, fights that could really make headlines and stars. Plus earn these young guys experience.

                  Unfortunately true. There are many amazing match ups that can be made but most fighters today do not want 50/50 fights. They want a near-guarantee that they will win. Only solid fight coming up is Cotto - Canelo which is a real 50/50 fight.

                    You say that and you're doing the same thing. The first name you mentioned wasn't even a fighter.

                    I've been watching boxing since I was a little kid, almost 30 years now and I'm still interested. I'm interested this week! Carl Frampton fights in a few days. There's a weird Shobox card on Friday with like six undefeated fighters on it. I get to see Cesar Cuenca fight. Nonito Donaire is coming back and McJoe Arroyo fights for a title. I'm enjoying it and still damn interested!
