If Fighters Were Fighting Five or Six Times a Year...

[Elroy The Great]

Yes, bfd. It would be terrible to see a good fighter in the ring often where he stays sharp. A real travesty.

we want to see good fights, not mismatches.

quality > quantity

I get that, but what about opportunities? With more fighters fighting often, wouldn't there be more fighters at work? I mean, yes, there would be mismatches. There are mismatches now, with months or years in between fights. It's gotten pathetic, man. I started following the sport in the 90s and guys fought 4 or 5 times a year all the time. it made for a more interesting popular sport.

That's fine. Anything to get them in the ring more. These guys are being wasted.

then ''we'' should never whine about mismatches. everyone has to ''eat''.

[Weltschmerz]

They should fight more than twice per year, that's for sure. You likely have 3-4 prime years only resulting in max 8 fights. Just the way it works these days with management, promotion, etc. for elite guys.

Mismatches are better than no matches.

Mismatches are better than no matches.

on this we disagree. unless i hated the no hoper, i wouldnt bother watching.

That's fine. Agree to disagree.

[original zero]

How many would stay unbeaten? How many more matches would be made where new stars could rise? Would the "0" really matter that much anymore? Would boxing's popularity rise with more exposure?
Thoughts and opinions?

So HBO is just going to show the same 2 fighters the entire year and that's it?
