People are not being boxing fans anymore....

[Kigali]

andre ward has fans? lol

Sure he does

[Robbie Barrett]

They don't care if there is corruption, there is unfair judges, unfair refs, blatant fouls, breaking the rules. As long as their guy wins, its okay for them so that they could say "I told you so..." to the other side of the spectrum.

They don't want an even playing field, for the fighters for the sake of their favorite fighter winning the fight, even if there was corruption involved, fouling involved, incompetence/corruption of referee's involved. They just don't care as long as their fighters got the win.

Yes we started seeing this with Pacquiao fans defending him not taking the extra testing. How can you defend a fighter not wanting to do drug testing, but they did.

Says the Pacquiao fan

[GhostofDempsey]

yeah **** that. Only if they somehow are related to the promoters or are working for them, I can understand it to an extent. But I dont know how you can go on a boxing forum and only talk about network ratings and boxing business, A-side, b-side. wtf, start talking about boxing.
Participating occasionally on these topics is ok, but there are some poster who exclusively talk about numbers and ratings.

I swear, after each big fight I see more threads about PPV numbers, viewership numbers, etc. than talking about the actual fight itself. As if these clowns are getting a cut of the PPV action.

Don't get me started on the guys who cannot appreciate a good fight because their favorite guy wasn't a part of it. These are fanboys who would have shyt all over Hagler-Hearns because Ray Leonard wasn't one of the opponents. Or ridicule the paychecks that Gatti/Ward earned for their fights because they weren't 8-digits each.

Then we have the ones who think that once a fighter suffers just one loss his career is over, he was a hype-job, a bum. I watched all the Mayweather fangirls celebrating when Chocolotito lost his last fight because he was creeping up on Floyd's undefeated streak. Suddenly he was a hype job once he lost.

You mean the same way Floyd's fans defended his use of an unauthorized IV?

[Eff Pandas]

I think most fans care about all the things you said they don't care about, but the problem is they don't have any control of those things happening & things have been going down that road for so long that they have lost hope on anything changing with those problems so concern themselves less about them. I think some fans have even went Stockholm syndrome with it & support some of the corruption or just accept it as a legit part of the sport that'll never change.

And I mean if you are the nerdy kid in your neighborhood that weighs 82lbs & can't fight vs the 179lb bully then you are eventually just gonna confront the reality you live in & your lack of power in that reality & just try to avoid reality as much as possible like Deebo when he comes peddling down the street....or go get a gun & sh^t that mfer or something crazy like that. And idek what the "get the gun & shoot that mfer" option is for boxing fans under all the corruption & bs going on in the sport.

It was authorised with a TUE. Can't authorise it before he needed it.

[Curt Henning]

nah...there are still boxing fans

you can spot a non fan when they make every excuse in the book for golovkin for anything and everything...but knock guys like floyd and ward for anything......there are also fierce national loyalists on both sides who are a bit crazy too....but there are still alot of reasonable fans left

That's what I'm talking about, thanks for proving my point. TBE...The Best Excuses.
