    When did boxing fans go from being Coaches to Financial Advisers??

    When did we as boxing fans go from being arm-chair corner men to being financial advisers?

    All the talk of A-Side B-side etc is what is killing the fandom of boxing.

    It is has moved on from being "Wow fighter A v Fighter B would be awesome because of A's speed v B's power" etc and to pfft A gains nothing financially from fighting .

    When did being a champion stop meaning anything? When did it become about how much money everyone will make?

      since some guy said he doesn´t fight for the fans and he has to worry about his health. fans became his financial advisor and doctor and defended him ducking.

        Some fans talk about money as if they are getting some of it.

          At one point it was industry writers against Floyd that wrote this ideology such as 2010 May vs Pac. For #48 fans or neutral heads that didn't care much for Floyd's style hinted that May was ducking Pac either in the form of purse splits or WADA abided tests...

          Not sure how daring another p4p king with drug testing is considered A-side bullying. would seem rather easy to call that bluff, yet again, Arum is a business man. He'd make sure Pac wouldn't fight Floyd... until it all gets old thay Arum sees the opportunity in bettting on Floyd come 2015. Sadly, Roach, Arum, and team Pac all bet on Floyd on the downlow...including all the writers against Floyd..

          Alvarez vs Golovkin is nothing but a repetitive microcosm of the May vs Pac legacy

            um pac did call floydś bluff and you know what happened...the 40 million flat offer which delayed the fight for another 3 years. guess that was the media that made that offer seem like a duck right

                when did Pac ever agree to WADA? That would've made headlines from industry to crush Floyd on all corners. That's a start isn't it. Very easy to point on 40 million...

                Pac had already been knocked out early in his career...twice..

                Yet these same dumb posters like you say ''well Angulo dropped Lara twice...'' lol

                  Wasn't there something about blood tests the night before the fight that Paq didn't agree with??

                    I'm wondering this myself...Half the threads today seem to be about A-side B-side nonsense instead of discussing fights or potential fights. It's pathetic really.
