    It must suck for fanboys.

    There's plenty of boxing to enjoy nearly every week for real boxing fans.

    Plus Floyd and Manny are almost out the door, what's not to love?

      Professional boxing has a lot more in common with professional wrestling than it does a professional sport, but then I suppose even wrestling fans get to see the best matchups.

      The number of decent matchups are heavily outweighed by the ****ty matchups that nobody wants to see.

        When I watch a fight like last Saturday night,Pascal vs Gonzalez,and the decision afterwards....makes me hate boxing.

        Actually,the people who run it I hate...

          What's bull****, like PBP said recently, is how we can't even get diet superfights anymore. Money, popularity, networks, promoters, all this bull**** is stopping even the poor man's big fights from happening. Every halfway decent fight is treated like some super matchup that needs to be built up.

          Then you factor in how easy it is to duck these days, robberies, and the general bull**** that happens in the ring, and yeah, being a boxing fan sucks a lot of the time. We're ****** to put up with it.

                    Exactly,boxing is on damn near every day
