Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Mayweather Brought Boxing Back, People Talking Again!

[Death_Adder]

Ellerbe is full of **** as usual. That clown has his nose so far up Mayweather's ass, he sneezes ****. No wonder his damn nostrils are as big as they are.

There have been plenty of boxing to talk about this year with the casuals, especially with the heavyweight division heating up thanks to the Joshua/Klitschko fight. Then there's the Superbowl of fights with Canelo/GGG.

Gayweather went away for two years and boxing thrived just fine. He comes back and brings the circus with him. They're talking about this fight, but because of how ****** it is and how much of a **** show it's going to be.

Madame Ellerbe, go back to what you do best, sucking Floyd's little pecker you milk dud head faggot.

I'm a big Mayweather fan but he didn't need to come back, boxing would have been fine.

Regardless of this fight this year has been the best year of boxing in a long time with the matchups we've had.

Floyd retires after this and the new talent will carry the torch no problem, it might take a while to build a star of his stature but that doesn't mean boxing is dying.

Canelo/ GGG fight got fans talking again, Floyd just has to try and always steal the spotlight.

[Bronx2245]

He definitely helped...but I think we all can agree that despite the sport having one of the best years in a long time in terms of quality matchups, the ratings didn't really follow with the matchmaking (and that matters for long term interests).

Regardless of what we think about the circus, it does have randoms talking about boxing. I just wish the fight was used to cross promote the Canelo v. GGG too. Would've helped sell that to the mainstream. Don't get me wrong, I think it'll do some great numbers (like over 1 million buys), but I think with the right promo, it could get close to 2 million. I don't see that happening now though.

The sport's politics get in its own way too much. These two fights three weeks apart was a major opportunity for the sport, and all I'm seeing is promo in isolation. It's dumb on both parties imo. Sometimes you can grow the pie instead of fighting for pieces of the existing market.

Unfortunately, boxing will never be like the NFL, NBA, or MLB. What's worse is that promoters like Bob and Oscar actively tell people to boycott other events! They tried to kill the PBC in court, now they're clamoring to be on basic cable channels! If it wasn't for the PBC paving the way, Crawford vs. Indongo would've been a PPV fight, and only 20,000 people would've seen it!

yeah, no-one saw or talked about joshua klitschko

Yet this fight still isn't sold out just days before fight night.

Boxing really needed this attention. I've never read so much about a "boxing match" outside of a boxing website. You see Mayweather on Yahoo, USA today, Newsweek and other media outlets that would never mention much of anything about boxing ever!! People complained about boxing being a dying sport well no matter how much of a circus this fight really is its put boxing in the minds of people who wouldn't consider watching it otherwise. Now you are having fans of combat sports interested again which is a great thing. Canelo and triple g is a awesome matchup of top fighters we have and even they haven't created as much buzz to the sport from outsiders like May-Mac has done. Only thing that will crush this momentum would be a snooze fest fight and I mean come on Connor McGregor has too much foolish pride not to go straight at Mayweather in an attempt to knock his head off he will not let him "run".

This guy must be ******, How did he brought boxing back? FKN Mayflowers never left! he was self promoting himself more than ever, he wanted to be in the lime life more than ever. When Spencer fought in the Uk, no one gave a fk about him, Mayweather was the center of attention, as a promoter he is more of an attention whore than Arum and King put together! The CIRCUS this weekend has nothing to do with boxing, and only ****** people like Floyd said will buy this farce! Floyd told the people from NY you can boo me all you want, at the end of the day you will give me the money to go straight to the bank! I will rob you with out holding a gun to your head clean!
