    Just like movies, music, and sports in general, boxing is watered down now. Ive been a boxing junkie for as long as i can remember but i can definitely say that the passion for the sport isnt what it used to be. Boxing forums are the same. Quality of topics and conversations has gone down drastically conpared to say 15 years ago. Back when i started posting in the early 2ks, forums were very interesting and i remember getting into good debates for hours. There were some real boxing gurus that shared knowledge and i aint gonna lie, I learned alot from other posters.

    Fast forward like 10 years and fights arent as good and forums suck too. Im sorry. Boxing is still my love so I still post but tbh, Boxingscene is sht. It’s sht because there are bunch of snot nosed little kids and sht gossiping like girls .. nigas fighting over networks and promoters as if they are on payroll and sht. Dudes are phags nowadays.

    You millenials are phags and ya dont know sht about boxing period.

          I'm a Sports FAN so for me boxing comes in maybe 4th as my favorite sport despite being a Hardcore for it. It is College Football Season, NFL Season and NBA Season going on right now that I can enjoy while waiting for Boxing to get it's sh#t together so maybe that is why I'm not really having a melt down like some fans who go crazy because Spence Jr vs Crawford is not happening in December (which was never realistic!)

          ALL of these fights are going to happen, they always do but boxing fans are never very patient, Boxing fan act like they're the ones running out of time and like we must see every big fight NOW when that is not the case at all. Some fights do need to be built up more and are big fights for SOME Hardcore fans but not for all boxing fans and most certainly not to casual. IF these are truly big fights that fans claim they are then fighters SHOULD want to assure they make the most money possible off those fights. It is not JUST about our entertainment as fans, it is a "BUSINESS" for a lot of these guys as it should be. They have to feed their families and also think about life after boxing in which they don't have Benefits and Pensions to help them after they retire they have to set all that up themselves

            Guess I struck a nerve with people lol. I agree with many of the post. Especially that the sport needs a centralized set up. The gossip and troll post in the forums are at an all time high. I'm all about good convos and boxing talk, not boxer bashing. But I'm just tired if reading about potential fights that could happen soon or next and then seeing a promoter responding with, "not for a longtime", or "he doesn't need to fight him". Crawford Spence, wilder Joshua, Loma garcia, the 3 best fights in boxing, must happen in 2019, and high chance they will not

              Nowadays you don't expect fighters to start negotiating their next fight after their fights.
              You expect them to take a very looooong layoff before seeing them back in the ring again.
              The Charlo twins, for instance, barely get scratches after their fights.
              They can even fight the next day, yet their handlers would rather see them loiter around doing ****** things like teenagers do.

              I see only see Hearn making an effort.

                nothing is cooking everything is marinating. promoters are blatantly disregarding the interests of the fans and the integrity of the sport in favor of ppv ratings. leaves me wanting to tell the lot of them to F off

                      It's like getting mad at technology for progressing. Like a cab driver getting mad at Uber. You need to adapt. Not as scary as you think. Cable TV is slowly dying, just the way the world and technology is headed. Watch what you want, when you want.

                      DAZN is a good thing where you can watch a lot of boxing for only 9.99 a month. ESPN+ isn't that bad either for just 5 bucks.
                      thats funny, my wife tells me the same ****. i got pissed off cuz my computer was not working with internet explorer anymore, i had to start using chrome...i dont like change.
