Ring been a joke since they put Ronda on the cover. And this is coming from an mma head. That was disrespectful.Comment

I forgot to renew my sub last year and after they named Dougie editor of the whole thing, that was it for me. Dude is a spiteful, negative troll fanboy with some completely outlandish views. It's one thing for posters on NSB to be like that, but the editor of the ****ing Ring???? Ernest Hemingways go-to magazine???
Nope. If they get a new editor down the line I'll think about subscribing again, but as long as Dougies in charge I'll pass.Comment

ring deteriorated for a while prior to being bought by GBP. they were hemorrhaging subs. people started looking at quicker news sources, IE the internet, twitter, etc.
i used to read ring basically cover to cover when i was a youngster. it was the very best publication out there. i still ahve several ring magazines saved from fights i went to, fights i cared about, etc. used to mow lawns to get the money to afford my sub. helped me follow the sport when i was growing up and my parents couldn't afford cable or HBO.
funny story, my dad bought one ppv in all of my childhood [he and i have since gone to new york and vegas together as adults for fights and had a blast,] and it was tyson vs mcneely. fight was over in less than a round. mcneely was as overmatched as anybody i have ever seen on PPV. he was hurt with literally the first punch that landed. he was irish and from boston and it was a big deal around here. big is an understatement, it was one of the biggest sporting events of the decade in the lead up. i tried to tell my poor dad that mcneely had no shot, but the guy bought the ppv anyway
. then everybody tried to act like they knew mcneely was a sham and had no shot. uhh, the third grader told you that before the fight, and you tried to convince him tyson was ripe for the taking.
