Boxing is in ****ing shambles. The idea that Kova vs Ward might have been as low as 160k ppv buys is detrimental to boxing. Obviously, the media conglomerates, promotions and boxers are missing something. I think what it is ...is fervor, genuine nationalism, nostalgia and thinking big. Not that this fight would by any means save it...but that that is the idea I'm afraid we are going to have to take to make this sport mainstream again.
It can't be about feuding internal politics branding one side of the Isle of boxers (PBC,GB,TopRank) as elite and the other as sellouts,it has to be a about a cohesive understanding that at the end of the day they're all unites with a profound opportunity to represent the sport of boxing and leave it in a better place then they found it. But yeah, this seems like a fight allllllmost past it's experation date. I'm sure this would do well on prime time TV under PBC
