Hearn: "American Boxing Is About To Through A Real Bad Spell & Downturn" (VIDEO)

[sicko]

We already in it as you can see by the Ratings and PPV Buys which I think will continue to decline for Boxing

Casuals in America don't give a **** about boxing right now and as much as we talk **** about the Casuals, without Casuals you WILL NOT get the big PPV Numbers or Ratings. Boxing has shown to have just over 1 Million Hardcover and that is usually their Ratings Number regardless of the Network it is on. On top of the sport have some very Ignorant Fickle minded fans who feel that Network and Promoter is more important than the actual fights

Boxing image need to be rebuilt in America and it goes beyond just "Fight Styles" "Race" and "Knockouts" you have to be able to GRAB the attention of Casuals before they even see you in the ring and NO BOXER can do that right now in the States

Promoters where just interested in the easy cash when they took the sport premium....didn't give a **** about the future. Any sport can be revived by a real star in a real event though.....Pac-Mayweather was boxing's latest chance and it blew....but maybe someone will come up.....

Casuals are needed, not because they produce money, but they sell fights.

TV shows are popular now because people have conversations about it.

Boxing needs grass roots fans. In the US there isn't that.
