Boxing just does not excite me right now.

[Cinci Champ]

Floyd is retired and you lose interest. Hmmmm let's call Scooby-Doo

its not about floyd and i have not lost interest its just boring right now

[paulf]

Maybe its because im turning 30 in a few months and thats just how it goes, but I havent properly made a night out of watching a fight card in..... ages.

I havent even got around to watching Cotto-Canelo.

Boxing has lost a lot nobody outside of us hardcore boxing fans take the sport serious. Robberies and mismatches are the norm right now, we got people actually trying to convince themselves that Canelo-Khan is a great PPV fight for ****s sake.

Another thing that I notice is how HBO try's to tell and give excuses to the viewers on why their network star fighter isn't giving us a good performance blaming it on their opponents mind you that are huge underdogs. HBO product has been crap, they need to give in and work with PBC. Jim Lampley's show "the fight game" is terrible and misleads boxing fans.

PBC has paid their fighters ridiculous amount of $$$ to fight tomato cans. Santa Cruz got $1 million for last nights fight against Kiko "stepping stone for 122-126 champs" Martinez of course he was asking for $3 million to fight Rigondeaux. Noboby wants to take risks if they are getting paid well against tomato cans.

The sport of boxing has been ehhhh

[BrometheusBob.]

I'm looking forward to the Showtime card this weekend. Antoine Douglas stepping up in competition against Khurtdsidze.

Ward/Barrera is a good fight, Povetkin/Wilder is being finalized.

I'm good. Not the greatest lineup but waiting to see who steps up to carry the sport on their back.

I watch boxing on all channels.

Brit, asian , american and mexican boxing .

If you only watch hbo and showtime main event and pbc mismatches your a casual pretending to be a hardcore fan.

Real fans can watch a fight between two unknown fighters



I am excited about spence algeiri though.
Along with loma vs walters

There are definitely some fights to look forward too, such as the above. I'd add:
Ali/Vargas
Chagaev/Browne seems ok..
Porter/Thurman (hopefully eventually)
Pac/Bradley III card as a whole is interesting
Joshua/Martin might just turn out to be good
Glowacki making his first defense against Cunningham interests me
Parker/Takam might be aight.. I'm hoping it will set up Joshua/Parker

Am I the only one who is almost burnt out by boxing right now? This past weekend we had cards on both networks and both were completely one sided cards. I didnt fall for the Lundy trash talk either. Dont get me wrong im still going to watch all the main cards but it just seems like boxing is headed in a boring direction. When PBC is putting on more competitive fights then hbo you know something is off

Hopefully its just part of the late winter when nothing happens boxing wise but lets be honest even the spring schedule is bla. What do you guys think?

You are not alone. Boxing used to have the element of protect your hyped investment/prospect. Showcase fight were always part of it. But now even if a fighter becomes champ its back to showcase fights. Unappealing. I still watch but usually the fights dont get my full attention.

[Foreign Soil]

Agree 1000%!

I don't see no "Potential Greatness" going into the Post Pacquiao and Mayweather ERA either. I don't see anybody that is special who really stands out and can be a All Time Great. All I'm seeing is HYPE of fighters who really haven't done ANYTHING! Casuals hyping guys who knock out Weak Opponents.

Here is the biggest thing...NO PERSONALITIES! Other than Tyson Fury, these boxers are so ***ing uninteresting outside of the ring. The biggest Personalities in boxing right now are: Tyson Fury, Angel Garcia and Ruben Guerrero

Tired of the split among fans, Promoters, managers, networks and all of that stuff, it is crippling the sport right now and I see this sport sinking further and things only getting worse unless something is worked out and everybody start working with each other

Kovalev is a natural as far as personality. It just shows how horrible HBO is now. How do they expect to build stars when all they do is squander the opportunity? Instead of embracing Sergey, Kellerman acted apologetic to the boxing fan watching on TV, as if showing personality is offensive now. More often than not, HBO telecasts just end on a low note, no matter what takes place.

Did you watch Santa Cruz vs Martinez

[Vasyl’s dad]

Must be all those lopsided PBC cards you hold dear to your heart.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

While I haven't completely stopped watching boxing, I'm also not as thrilled as I use to be. In fact, I'm somewhat getting tired of it due to the number of big matches that hasn't happened yet. Canelo-Golovkin? Khan-Brook? Kovalev-Stevenson? Wilder-Fury? Thurman-Porter?

Ducking is the main reason why the first three hasn't happened yet while the last two are unfortunate but understandable reasons (network issues and injuries). But after the Mayweather-Pacquiao situation, no way am I gonna wait another 5 or 10 years until everyone become old men on their ways out of the sport.

This is one of the main reasons why I'm starting to turn to MMA because they do have the best fight best at the right time. In the last couple of months, MMA has also produced the more interesting stories compared to boxing (with upset wins, controversies, competitive fights, and newer stars). Ignoring that embarrassing event in Bellator, MMA seems to be growing while boxing feels so stagnant with its lack of big matches that people want.
