Tonight is why boxing might not make it.

[MASTERBX]

HBO is going out of (the boxing) business and is determined to damage boxing while doing so. You cannot have a vested interest in the future of boxing and put forth filth like this!

How is it irrelevant? With PPV fans have a choice to vote with their wallet if they want to see the fight. The blame is with HBO for paying $3mil for bull**** like this but won't put up the funds for competitive fights.

It's irrelevant to the conversation at hand, regarding "why boxing might not make it". People showed up to the forum and my guess is that the viewing numbers will be ok. It's not a ppv fight but people vote with their views and with their attendance, whether it's ppv or not is irrelevant. So going by some people's logic if this fight did good numbers then it's justified since it was good business.

HBO is willing to pay for these bum fights, but boxing fans are not. This is why the Lemoo fight had the lowest PPV numbers of any HBO fight in history.

These boxing is dying topics are f#cking ******.

Is there any sport thats died died for real? I mean there are far less interesting sports than boxing that are out there & I've seen f#cking darts on TV ffs. If darts is on TV, boxing is in great shape.

Definitely a ****ty HBO card doe. This was maybe the first time in a long time I watched a UFC card over a boxing card that had two guys on the P4P list. Although in defense of the boxing card there were two P4P guys on the UFC card too.

Horse Racing...

Did you hear the audience cheering for Golovkin tonight? You think that's the sound of "boxing not making it"? People got what they came for. Pacquiao VS Mayweather left everyone feeling empty. All that hype and not much action. That's what will deter new fans from coming to this sport.

150 to 1 bum fights hurt the sport.

That's true, HBO has fallen from grace with respect to boxing since they hitched their cart to Gina.
