    What boxing should be about

    What boxing should be about:
    - Integrity
    - Honour
    - A test of the will
    - Fairness
    - The art of violence

    What boxing seems to actually be about:
    - Twitter
    - Money
    - Ticket sales
    - PPV numbers
    - Corruption

    I dunno, maybe I'm depressed or something, but coming out of the gym this morning, I just got thinking about the ideals of boxing, and how we fall so short of achieving those ideals.

    Boxing used to have manly fans, now we have fans like Robbie Barrett who take it up the arse.

        Pac used to be all that as well. Pride of our country. Still is. But it’s obvious it’s all money grab now.

          I think you're mixing up two different parts of boxing. The Sport of Boxing is exactly about what you are saying it should be about. The thing is at the professional level of the sport or the Business of Boxing is about what you think it is about. But its two different things. The Sport & the Business.

          And its not like thats not a thing with other sports to. There is Football & Basketball & Tennis & whatever else & then there is the Business of each other those sports where things matter that involve money & asses in seats & all other sh^t an athlete shouldn't even be thinking about.

                  yeah, the business side of things, it's frustrating man, but then i guess it's the same in all industries, all professions... good people get chewed up, spat out
