is boxing turning into wwe?

[The Smash]

I think you are making too much of this. Rock is HUGE & having him announce your fight is gonna buy you some revenue right there alone. Its purely a marketing move & not a bad one at all.



As always boxing fans always are living in the blackest of black or the whitest of white opinions. Some of you act like there is no middle ground with anything at all lol. It can be hilarious at times.

The reality is Refs do GOOD to GREAT 99% of the time. And the reality is Judges give the right guy the decision 99% of the time. I do understand & see issues with "that one judge" scoring some other fight entirely on wayyyyyyyy too many fights on any specific card. Thats an issue that needs to get worked out sooner or later. But in no way do officials have zero credibility.

All that bs said the reality is boxing IS a circus. And thats one of the things some cats love & some cats hate. If boxing ever does become like most professional sports with top guys competing all year long or during specific times of year in a mainstream tournament or something its not doing now with its fly by night into your town & take your money approach some fans will f#cking hate it cuz that circus aspect of the sport will be gone.

Or I mighta saved some time by just saying C+ trolling, but I like to talk too.

99%?

Absolutely no chance.

The Rock is gonna be paid off by ODH as they distract the ref the Rock will enter the ring and rock bottom GGG.

Nah. Wwe fans see these wrestlers consistantly. Boxing fans get to see their favorite boxers 2-3 times a yr at best lol

Boxers can learn a thing or two from wrestlers. Like how to cut a promo or hav decent mic skills.
Last week was hard to watch guys like Tank and Leo Santa Cruz talk to a crowd.

you do know that the most celebrated boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali, took his media personality from pro wrestler Gorgeous George right?

Facts. Most people on these forums dont know anything about boxing as a sport as a skill or historically. They are just mostly inlove with certain fighters and use the anonymity of the internet because they are afraid of coming out the closet.

The whole world is WWE now. Award shows, politics, news, sporting events--as a nation we have lost our dignity. Men in their 20s walking around in skinny jeans and wearing plush animal hats. Every pig with boobs thinks she's an Instagram model, ******** running for Senate, and marginally talented celebrities strutting around with a sense of entitlement telling us how we all need to live our lives. You've got a front row ticket to the freak parade.

That said, I don't see how having The Rock introduce the fighters could be bad for boxing. If anything he can have some crossover influence and maybe introduce some new fans who wouldn't ordinarily tune in.

with the roided up rock announcing the ggg canelo 2nd fight? Everything is done for a reason and this was a calculated move by hbo

boxing has zero credibility as it is with obvious fixed judges and refs plus promoters like de la goya dressing up like women wanting to be a transsexual

it doesn’t matter what you think!!!!!

[WesternChamp]

so the rock announced the rematch??? did i miss it?

[The Big Dunn]

you are complaining that one of the most recognizable people on earth announced a fight is going to happen. Why?
