If it's not Mayweather or Pacquaio people just don't know or care about it. I don't blame HBO- showtime-PBC for cutting budgets and bad ratings, boxing is just a dead sport and I don't see how anything short of a Tyson type character coming along will change it...
PBC will probably be gone when the money dries up, HBO can't afford to pay for big fights now so everything is going to PPV, showtime lost half its viewers from 2 years ago...Why can't the sport gain any traction with the younger audience? Is it only close to 40 guys like me and older that Keep boxing alive? And of course Mexicans lol...
It's so difficult to follow. Scoring fights is confusing, the cards are on 45 different channels and there's 400 champions. Cornelius K9 Bundrage is a 2x world champion.
It's funny. My 12 year old cousin watches boxing with me and asked me one day "why are all the boxers undefeated?"

Originally posted by BreWall View PostIt's probably because wins don't lead to anything big in the PBC arena. Takes years if at all. Jacobs vs Quillin is quickly forgotten, for example. No fight scheduled yet for the champ. The other Danny, Garcia, doesn't have any fight scheduled yet as well. There's no continuity. It's like watching most movies with no sequels.

Thurman ducked the fight for over a damn year now he says he was less than 100% heading into camp. Whatever....the problem is that PBC thinks it has "stars" just because they pay them millions. They aren't stars because their marketing is crap and they let the dudes fight cupcakes and avoid tough challenges. Stars are born because of taking risks, not hiding out from tough fights.
