Game of Thrones is a huge success story.
On the other hand, there's Vinyl....
Thanks for your insightful critiscm. It's underrated around here.
Exaxtly. They renewed it and quickly canxeled it. I drew parrellism between the shoes and boxing events but there are some differences. Such as, if HBO thinks a show has potential to grow it will waste money in producing a show hoping it pays out later. Most shows gain popularity until they hit their peak towards the end of the series.
They also do that with boxing, as with any star building, but I think over the years they figured out it wasn't going to get better. Mainly, because the division of HBO only and SHOW Only fighters means the better fights won't get made. They were forced to carry Bobs vendetta even if it wasn't lucrative which is another implied point of thread.
Thanks for the links I didn't know that damn show was so expensive. I figured high-period pieces are always high. I like reading about njmbers. . I watched vynl and thought it was garbage heard it was renewed then canceled. I was thinking maybe it would get better down the line. How they screwed up such an interesting topic is beyond me!! I

Insightful post 
In my opinion I believe the boxing fan is starting to make their voice heard by not paying for these mismatches. It's somewhat of a boycott. You can continue the charade of glamoured up mismatches until fans start to take notice that they're not competitive fights. That's the problem. Fans are starting to demand real fights and have grown tired of mismatches.Boxing is a business, I agree and believe fighters deserve great purses for putting their lives on the line. But at the same time boxing will always continue to be a sport and that's why people watch. They want to see the best fighting the best. 2017 has been a great year for boxing and it's going to culminate in fashion with the Super Flyweight tripleheader and Canelo/GGG. I hope that this is ongoing trend.

Thanks for reading.
It's definatly a niche. The big fights get a lot of attention but everything in between is for the cult only. That's also why are journalism sucks. There are some insightful writers but they are few and far in between.
Most of our journalist sounds like a marketing campaign. (*Hint *hint ). Bought and paid for. Any other sport this article would have been written a 100 times already and not by a poster in a forum. There would be less hype jobs and let's downs for the sport if they left reservations for unprovens. One good win and the hype train starts. It sounds like a good campaign until you realize you've set unrealistic standards. Casuals expect these undefeatable monsters that as soon as boxer has a bad or loosing performance his fan base evaporates. Reasonable expectations make reasonable considerations. I won't say that boxing can't get bigger but I wouldn't bet on it.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
First, off you get a little respect for not blocking me after you said your peace. That's a sissy tactic, so I give you partial respect for that.
Ok we get it. Haymon promotions are flailing. You sound obsessed always showing up and off topic. I'm sorry that my freedom of speech offends you. I'm also sorry that you can't comprehend complex subjects without reducing them to the most basic level.
You are so dense that you can't realize that I'm being rational and your being emotionally, obsessive compulsive. You have an OCD complex about destroying Floyd with as little reasesrched facts as possible.
Your also, right, this is an Arum tear down thread as was the other one. It's a rational facts based tear down. Not the emotional slander you prefer to entertain. I do like Floyd. I also know who the number one person is responsible for falsey misrepresenting his legacy. His name is Bob Arum. In fact, I even have a little bit more in store for Arum. And then, I will be done. I'm sending Floyd off into retirement the good way- letting his fans know the truth that they didn't hear elsewhere.
Face kid. I can beat you on any level you like. You watch boxing and you know that styles makes fights. Some people have your number, I have yours.
