The real reason boxing has gone to ****..

[al-Xander]

You're right, Larry.

Too much nonsense with promoters and networks not working with each other.

Riight. Haymon can't even make his fighters fight each other let alone add TR fighters from a long list of fighters not fighting each other in the Haymon camp. Keep diverting the issues away from the Haymon problem doe.

didnt they fight already???in 2015???

Thats not the issue and nor is it the question I posed in relation to your thread. Wana try answering the question again?

the free for all **** show thats developed is confusing fans

there is no narrative for the casual fan to follow

if there was 1 champion the casual fan could at least follow who the number 1 guy is.

fans wanna see :

- best fighting the best . fans dont even know whos the best because of the slew of belts . there was a period of haymon paying big money to fighters to fight inferior opposition - thankfully this has largely stopped .

- exciting fights. this comes from good matchmaking.

solution:

- in an ideal world theres only one sanctioning body but this wont happen . everyone should work together but seeing as that is unlikely - haymon should create a belt , not named pbc belt, and market it on tv, as the title that signals the best fight in the division. The Ring belt doesnt work because its given to the lineal champion who is not always the best fighter in the division. Haymon should give this belt to non-haymon fighters like golovkin.

there needs to be a storyline for a fight. the promo for the fights is awful.

floyd pacquaio was a 1 time thing. they both had legendary careers and were at the top of the sport for years. had huge fanbases, couple that with a rivalry and storyline , you have over 4.5million buys. thats never gonna happen again. is canelo waiting for the fight to get bigger or for ggg to get older? is khan waiting for brook to increase his profile or did he know its gonna be tougher as time goes on for brook to make welterweight? canelo smith being ppv is horrific. golden boy exploiting the mexican fanboys. i hope kellerman bashes the fight being ppv on first take but he works for hbo so thats unlikely.
letting the fight marinate should be a thing of the past before even more people become disillusioned with boxing
