KSI vs Paul II should have been an undercard fight

[Flo_Raiden]

Just seeing the amount of views that circus show had is really sad. Can you imagine if KSI vs Paul II co-headlined for REAL fights like Taylor vs Prograis or Inoue vs Donaire? It's already an insult that Haney and Saunders had to be undercard fights for NON-BOXERS. I feel like having KSI vs Paul be a co-headliner for fights that mattered would have at least helped get more views and appreciation from casual fans and also real boxing fans as well.

I only wish they had KSI vs Paul as an undercard for Inoue vs Donaire, it would have taken all the attention away from that circus show and non-fans would have more appreciation for the sport I think.

Arena would empty after they fought, just see some cleaner cleaning up ****star piss in the stands for the fights that follow

you guys really missed the plot on this one.


boxing didn' hand these guys the spotlight. they are much more popular with the younger demographic than NFL players. kids don't watch TV any more. go ask your 14 year old cousin "who his favorite youtubers are" or what he wants to be when he grows up. he WILL have a favorite "youtuber," and he probably won't even watch TV or the NFL.


again, boxing didn't do antyhing for these kids. they were famous as hell prior to even talking about getting into boxing. they brought in an audience of 12-18 year olds who don't f#Cking watch boxing, TV, or anything else in the traditional sense that you or i watch it, or our parents have watched it.
they headlined the card because they brought in money. period. they paid devin haney's salary and if he had put togetther a knockout that would fit on a highlight reel they'd have been responsible for it getting shared around the world. but he didn't.


don't resent these two kids. they trained very hard and they actually fought hard. resent boxing, which needs a gimmick every now and again, to stay relevant.

A post full of common sense

Dont hate the player, hate the game.

The reality is boxing has long been a asses in seats game & not a elite athletic event game. Boxing is selling flash & names not skill.

If boxing was selling skill then this fight never woulda been able to do the numbers it did or headline over two title fights.

These mfers took advantage of what Boxing left the door open for them to take advantage of basically.

You make an excellent point. I am aware of that these two having a large fanbase and who they appeal to, but for me I just can't get by with that. If this is boxing's way of trying to stay relevant then that's a new low right there. But then I'm no business man and they did hit some big numbers so they must be doing something right.

And everybody would've left after that fight.

Red K coming your way for making so much sense. You do know you're on NSB, right?
