    Why would it die for me when Manny lost to Floyd? wouldnt it have died when Marquez KO Manny? you make no sense.

    I predicted Marquez to KO Manny and I was right, I know boxing. I never bet against Floyd.

    Imdazed now I know why I have you on block you another black power floymo who thinks everyone is a pactar.

      Why block him? Are you really that butt-hurt?

        Why do I always read your posts in a woman's voice?

          Boxing is slowly becoming the new horse racing. It won't ever die, but other than a few major races, does anyone really care?

          I find myself less interested in the sport and watching more MMA. Maybe its a combination of burnout and the fact that boxing is a splintered mess.

            Boxing only flourishes when there are enough recognizable stars in it. Which is not happening because most current fighters would rather fight rarely.

              If it's any indication, there isn't even one sticky thread up anymore. Down times.

                ufc just knows how to do it. there's something for everyone because each card is stacked.


                first of all there are only 8 divisions and in ufc 205 they have

                featherweight champ fighting lightweigth champ

                welterweight champ vs #2(champ just beat #1 time for a tune up? lol boxing)

                strawweight champ vs #2 strawweight(champ just beat #1 time for a tune up? lol)

                #2 middleweight vs #4 middleweight

                #5 welterweight vs #6 welterweight

                #1 womens bantamweight vs #8 bantamweight

                and that is just on the ppv portion. there are some good fights on the free portion. boxing just sucks.

                    Explain to me how the UFC's biggest ever gate is 55,000+ from UFC 129 headlined by GSP, Jose Aldo, and Lyoto Machida in 2011 brought in only 3,000+ more fans than a Canelo vs Liam Smith PPV that sold 52,000 month or so ago.

                      I noticed weight classes are different in UFC. Welterweight in boxing is more like super middleweight in UFC, if I'm not mistaken.
