Saving Boxing in the U.S.

[Eff Pandas]

I'm ashamed to say I haven't heard of Haney before, but I just checked him out. Yes, his fight has over 400,000 views and he's what 17? Awesome.

There is really no reason as just a boxing fan you shoulda heard of Haney lol. He's done NOTHING of note in the ring, but he's positioned himself well on social media.

If a kid like Haney shows anything its that guys who've done sh^t in the ring could be greatly grown in popularity via using social media more intelligently.

I mean look at Rigo too since he hired that guy, who poses as him, to sh^t talk other fighters on Twitter. He got his first meaningful fight in forever. Rigo needs to give whoever that guy is a raise or a cut of that Loma money cuz so many cats had just given up on Rigo or him fighting anyone of note from here out.

Yes it has declined Overall, nobody is just casually watching boxing between fighters they don't know compared to others sports in which fans can watch which ever match up between two teams no matter who is playing

The sport of boxing and the way Promoters Promote and the way Fighters connect with fans all of that needs to be changed from Top To Bottom. The Old Way no longer works! TV Commercials and Radio Commercials don't work anymore. Also ZERO effort to connect with a younger demographic

I said this in another thread. Reality TV produced by PBC or any other promoter can help a lot. In high school when Floyd started the 24/7 series that kept mmy friends and I engaged. The UFC came to my attention with the Ultimate Fighter series. I get my extra content from various youtubers now. People need to feel invested and that can be achieved by delivering regular content that shows professional and personal growth while mixing in everyday trivial stuff. Promoters just need to get on board so we can follow their stable.

PBC on Fox/FS1 is set to deliver ~30 shows a year, with Showtime/CBS on pace for another 20 shows (plus the ShoBox cards).

There is interest in boxing from younger fans (the likely phase 2 of the PBC effort will give a better sense of where things are growing from).

Well I hope things get better.but been a boxing fan loooong time to have your faith.But id rather you were right than me. I guess we will see.

Times change, horse Racing at 1 point was a major player so was track and field

There's more sports then ever before And more platforms for fans to watch those options

Has boxing declined from the mainstream media, yeah it's popularity has waned slightly but for a individual sport it's still one of the biggest if not the biggest sport in the States. It's a multi billion dollar sport and has a strong hold in many markets throughout the States



What a f.ucking ******ed comment, In the last 3-4 years what American fighters have built their profile more then Wilder,Broner, Garcia, Spence, Thurman even the smaller guys like LSC have more of a profile and more people watch them ( exceptions being Canelo and GGg ) then anyone TR, GB , Main events , K2 promote

Boxing is no where close in pop as it used to be even in the 90s.Its pop has more then waned slightly.I mean I wish that was not true but it is.You cant just go by ppv numbers as there is more homes with it.
