Will Boxing Ever Be Able To Regain Credibility After PBC's Inevitable Failure?

[puro dinamita]

If you're such a big boxing fan, why are you so content with such a woefully inadequate product? Why are you not striving for a better product, thus creating a healthier environment for the sport as a whole?

Bit of a weird mindset you have there, bruv.

kid i'm not the one going around talking bout haymon, oscar and arum just enjoy the ****ing fights simpolew as that you are to buried in that **** you actually believe they ****ing care you not bothering me with none just watch and enjoy ****er haha

Did you watch the same fights? The first two didnt make it pass the second round. Mora should have been a NC. The second fight was a mismatch and Garcia vs Paulie was more borings as Mayweather vs...well, All his opponents!

The rules say if an injury is caused by a legal blow then it counts as a TKO.

actually the biggest culprit of that is hbo people just never call them out for it

Every promoter and broadcaster with a contract does it to some degree, but they all make compromises and work together for the important fights. I think Haymon is the only one arrogant enough to not get out of the way of the fights.

Enjoy what? The fights are horrible on paper and in reality. HBO this year has had multiple fight of the year contenders, big fights on repeatedly, that are designed to be competitive and exciting. Also huge fights on the horizon. What the **** has PBC had?

quoted for the truth.

The one legit fight they have made that look good on paper was broner vs porter then they fucked it up with all the weight draining and rehydration clause, if porter wasnt drained he would have stopped broner.

Horrible match making. Say what you will about HBO, but those guys know how to put on action fights when they want too.

Name some during the span of PBC being in competition, They've had better cards than HBO. Maybe boxing just doesnt have the amount of fans needed to carry a sport. Some of you expect something we never got in the first place. #1 vs #1 every time they put on a show. Cause we used to get that.....um, never. But what about all the up-n-comers? There is no chance for a great upset. ggg fights are complete mis-matches and some of you tune in for that, but complain when it happens on a different channel. Dont worry, you guys are the reason for the death of boxing. You dont support free boxing with its current up n coming talents. Do you expect them to give you a free ppv level matchup? It is PRIZE fighting. But so many of you think you know more than the actual promoters and networks that actually spend money on these events. The sad truth is that boxing is only gonna survive as a pay to view sport, HBO, SHOWTIME, or PPV. Because there isnt any support of boxing, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Even the hardcore boxing fans (most of us) dont support boxing. There is some dream or something where people think, everyone used to fight champions or #1 contenders every time out. It doesnt happen on HBO or SHOWTIME, but you expect it for free. So you are gonna get pay boxing of a less competitive nature over free boxing with up n-coming superstars. BYE BYE Boxing. Thanks PBC for trying to give free boxing to the non-existant fans, at least you tried. Oscar tried a while back with that boxing show, but it failed. I guess the last person is Arum, oh yeah (algieri, rios vs pac) didnt do well either. At least Al tried but was fooled into thinking boxing mattered anymore.

Funny thing is HBO has put on some horrendous matches as of late but not one person is complaining. U dudes act like women. Hahahaha

[HURTFEELINGS]

Broner vs Porter ex champion vs current world champion (couldve been ppv undercard bout)
guerrero vs Thurman, ex champion vs current world champion (could've been ppv undercard bout)
Paulie M. vs Garcia ex champion vs undisputed champion in his first fight at ww (could've been a ppv undercard bout)

VS

Kovalev vs Mohammedi (current World champion vs NOBODY ever heard of) MISMATCH
Cotto vs geale (future Hall of famer vs a NOBODY AT A CATCH Weight) MISMATCH
Bradley vs Vargas (former Welterweight champion vs a guy who has never did a thing at Welterweight, maybe even his first fight at WW vs a proven champion)
ggg vs a janitor (mismatch)
Canelo vs (mismatch)
Klitchko vs Fury (mismatch)

HBO GIVES US MORE MISMATCHES THAN PBC OR SHOWTIME COMBINED!

Maybe its time to give the UFC a chance, their fans support them, way more than boxing "fans" support theirs. A sport is only as good as the fans that support them (anybody knows of a good site to visit?)

Tyson bit Holyfield ear on PPV nearly 20 years ago. This is nothing. Boxing will be fine.
