Boxing today has been taken away from the eyes of the people and outfits like dazn seem to make it even less accessible to the public. Sugar Ray was Sugar Ray because everyone knew him in America.
    You're always complaining about DAZN not being accessible to most homes in America,...
    Well it only costs $100 a year to subscribe to DAZN,....
    Now if you can't afford that then you really are a loser! 😂🤣

        Duran never had anything good to say about black fighters. This man even said that some of things Floyd is doing, Floyd copied it from him.

          Don't fault the guy for Hating on the heavy influence Mexico has had on Boxing .
          Poor guy . Their hero used to be Anthony Mundine and now it's Jeff Horn .
          Can you blame him for being bitter ?

            I pay $9.99 a month For DAZN and dropped that sht ESPN+ then every few months order Showtime for like 8.99

            ESPN and Showtime are doing to many ppv’s to bother paying monthly for. Look at Thurman/PAC. Spence/Porter. Crawford Khan

              And Spence wasn’t hating when Black boxers took Garcia over him. What’s your point?

                Two of his good friends from the Glory Days are Hearns and Leonard. He admitted after the first fight that Leonard was the best fighter he ever fought.

                  Well I'm not surprised if he did copy something because Duran was one of Floyd's idols.

                    Yeah Showtime is getting carried away making every decent fight ppv,....
                    DAZN definitely offers the best deal but there always will be idiots like oldschool biitch complaining about something. I got a private message a couple of months ago from someone on here telling me that oldschool biitch is actually Jason Shaw...
                    I'm starting to think it is that lame Jason Shaw since he's always sucking on Al Haymon's ****,....

                      It's not hard to see what's wrong with boxing, the problem is, how to fix it.
                      In 1983, HBO, the promoters and the alphabets got together to change the same day weigh-in rule after the Spinks v Mustafa LHW title fight had to be cancelled when Eddie came in heavy.
                      A centuries old rule got changed in a matter of weeks.
                      Once you realize the only color that matters in boxing is green, both the problems and the solutions become a little more obvious.
