Is it just me or does boxing seem empty right now

[Willy Wanker]

Boxing does seem empty right now. It seems that way to me more so because I've been visiting NSB regularly even though there aren't many big fights scheduled.

Guerrero vs. Garcia should be a fun fight, even though I initially didn't like that fight being announced.

Don't really care to see Kovalev vs. Pascal II, but I look forward to seeing Kovalev KO Pascal. I never liked him.

Pac vs Bradley III just doesn't make any sense. Obviously a quick money grab. Definitely not a fight made for the fans.

I agree, and I can't remember feeling this way in many years. Boxing is sh,it at the moment. We have what, one good fight to look forward to soon and that's Porter-Thurman? A decent fight that is being needlessly dragged out for months.late 2016 looks more promising but we all need our fix soon with some solid matchups.

boxing is emptier than pbc's stock portfolio!

It the stock price of PBC's primary backer.

They losing their asses. PBC isn't long for this world. Which will be good and bad.

Its going to take a few year of fighters sitting out demanding big paydays, before they realize they aren't going to be making that kind of money again.


PBC is basically killed boxing. Its spread it so thin over so many networks, its basically impossible for a casual fan to keep up with the fights. I try and watch all the fights, and I miss most of them, because they are poorly advertised, and never in the same place twice.

Its a terrible business models. I am sure they see it as exposure... But exposure is only good if the people you exposed can come back and see it again.

damn coz i wanted to invest in PBC.

It's been this way - where have you been? PBC has made it worse though - created an artificial arena with the most phony facade the sport has ever seen.

B-b-b-b-but it's free d-d-d-d-d-doe.

Your Mayweather's help create the problem as well - greedy ass mofos, not giving a damn about the future of the sport, just get rich and keep championing the cause of Uncle Al. Got free money for errybody over here.

Boxing is doing well man..year just started

ya i mean this feeling happens every year in january and feb cause no fights are scheduled and obviously boxing is doing ok ratings wise and such but it just feels lifeless right now

Boxing and the attention it demands expands and contracts constantly. All throughout history there have been times where boxing has been pronounced dead/dying yet it is still here. I personally do not think boxing is empty, there is a lot going on, it just depends what catches your eye or what you prefer to follow.

Either way like I said, boxing has peaks and dips all the time so even if the sport did fall flat for a while, something comes along eventually that picks people up on it again, it always does.

2016 has the potential to be a great year. Here's hoping.

Reading your moronic thoughts can be theraupitic. I lost it when I got to the part about "caring for the future of the sport".
