Do you like this "WWF" style boxing is heading towards??

[extracurRICular]

Relax. This is a one fight thing.

That's just it doe.........it's not.......

I like it man. I don't like the whole 0-0 guy vs a 49-0 possible tbe but the theatrics are great. I love the way they do things in the UK with their ring walks, that's super cool Imo. It reminds me of when The King Randy Savage came to the ring being carried out on his throne. I also enjoyed Broner coming out with French Montana n***** aint worried bout nothin. It brings a whole different dynamic to sports. Pbc's ring walks r garbage. Al Haymon should consult with Vince Mcmahon. But u can take this with a grain of salt, I like the WWE.

I mean Boxing has always had their "characters" out of the ring...Ricardo Mayorga types....Floyd Mayweather types....Maromero Paez types....Paulie Malignaggi types...Muhammad Ali types....etc etc.... but it has never really been a WWF type circus...scripted monologues...the heel vs the good guy as in with lines and bad deliveries....barring the crude lenguage the whole thing is very Mickey Mousey to me.....

and I don't dig it...if things are gonna pop off at the press conf I'd rather just see them come to blows like in the good'odays...

but hey maybe it's just me....after all it is a winning formula... tired and true...the WWF makes millions...these millennials seem to be eating it up... and there is something to be said for "growing the sport" and so on and so forth.... so I get it...but I don't like it


wachugot???
ok....................................GO!

Conor and Floyd seem to be having fun. MMA fans are having fun. Casual fans are having fun. Yet there is a group of boxing fans determined to be miserable no matter what.

Some of you seem you would rather have the sport fail rather than innovate because innovation means new faces and new things.

Nothing stays the same forever. WWE and MMA are bringing in new fans in droves doing this type of marketing. Why wouldn't boxing do same?

I'm beginning to believe that this fight is going to break all box office records. Despite never fighting in a professional boxing ring before, many people are starting to believe in Conor McGregor.

When this fight is over, despite whoever wins it, I would like to see a McGregor vs Horn fight. That fight would be huge in the U.K. Especially at Wembley stadium.

If it brings more attention to boxing I'm all for it. Guys like Crawford, Loma, Ward, etc. are great boxers and nice dudes but casuals could never give a crap about them. Boring characters bring in no attention and that's the truth.

It will be back to normal once the circus fight is over

Im afraid not........money makes the word go round....if this thing is a success financially (as a fight we all know this is going to be a flop).... all the others will follow...

I don't really think that. Any fight or fighter in history with ridiculous smack and WWE antics almost always sells better. And what else beyond this do you make that would be even slightly as close to as big?

And yeah it will be a huge success. I've had random people that know nothing about fighting not never discuss it bugging me about it and wanting me to get it. I was at the gym last night and literally every TV was on the fight at the same time. And it was different channels on each TV.
