Boxing has to be the biggest joke in sports. Only, it's not even funny anymore

[JakeTheBoxer]

Canelo is not fighting the fights fans want to see.

One exception: GGG.

Fans wanna see him fighting Andrade, Charlo, Bivol, beterbiev. he fights Kovalev, Fielding, next fight probably Saunders or whoever..

Floyd was much more fan friendly fighter. That`s why he made so much money.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I remember the days when the OP would get upset when GGG was criticized for not moving up...if you couldn’t get the fights you wanted at 160 then what difference does it make at 168. Oh That’s right. If GGg had gone to 168 and made noise then Abel and Loeffler knew their investment would most likely have to see Ward since Ring mag and others had talked about a Hypothetical matchup between Ward vs GGG since 2012....

It’s all Canelo’s fault doe.

It's people like you, Mirko, that really solidify that boxing is dying. Only a creepy internet nerd who has no life at all and by that, I mean that you spend every second on here because you can't get anything going in any other facet of your life and will die a ******, are on here 24/7 and boxing fans are so ****ing bored that they actually respond to you. Now that is a clear sign that the sport is in serious trouble. I wish you'd drop your man crush on me and leave well enough alone, but you won't. You'll never stop. You'll be on here when the site shuts down and then you'll just jump on something else, other than a life.

Everyone is milking the sport like its going out of business soon, You can see on PPV prices and DAZN subscription ridiculously priced for sub par fights and cards, obviously not trying to get more new fans to stick around with those prices, really exploiting the hardcore fans that'll buy anything boxing.

And also no real sport builders, there was the WBSS but that doesn't have enough fan support or pull to get the big names. And to the people say its thriving or its going nowhere, its a new time, MMA has grown, boxing has legit competition in combat sports, You can't just sit back and expect people to stay with way more alternatives today

You at look bob thinking about moving his shows worldwide cause its tanking so bad here in the states, so hes trying to milk every other country to pay for these sub par match ups due to the US well almost dried up.

The best don't fight the best.

There are a billion titles which mean nothing.

Some decent fights happen here and there but only because of luck.

How can a sport on life support like this even still exist?

It's truly amazing.

I've hung on for a long, long time, going back to the early 90s but I mean, why should anyone even care anymore?

Canelo is not fighting the fights fans want to see.

A salty ass Texas fan most likely from the LBDC brotherhood whose handle is Minute Maid Park...

yet

31,588 in attendance for Canelo vs Kirkland at Minute Maid Park.

or was it because Canelo beat Trout in Texas too doe? What is the LDBC narrative, Canelo doesn't like ''slick, athletic fighters...''

I like you man, but even you chose a war-time meme to tell me this, like don't worry, it's not so bad, during ****ing 'nam. Haha. It's bad and you know it is, brother.

No man, that's exactly the point - I was being kinda ironic - everythings going FUBAR you're in an insane war and then you get your upbeat commander telling you to 'cheer up'...

But then also what the hell else can you do? We're all of us here pretty much addicted to the sport... you just gotta pick yourself up in the end and play your own little part in keeping this ish alive and not succumbing to all the hatred and bullchit that this 'sport' seems to thrive on.

Nah, man. I've been watching hockey like crazy. It's way more interesting. And the best teams play the best teams because they have no choice! It's great. I was boxing only for years but I'm about done and that's the point. Hockey and baseball have structure and actually have their best play their best and it's no big deal. Boxing sucks. Everyone gets around fighting the best. It's a joke. So no. I don't stand by it. **** that. Boxing should stand by me and reward me for being a loyal fan but they don't and they won't. So **** it.

While I agree with basically everything you said, and since I was talking about the Kellerman's today, I might as well post this relevant video I feel sums up why we all both LOVE and HATE boxing and why we are still here watching it

Boxing is actually your favorite sport, give me 120 seconds and I’ll prove it to you. #MaxOnBoxing pic.twitter.com/S1dnnL7Fnh

There are a few champions and an occasional good fight that keeps us still going but in the in-between we are forced to overlook the hype that dominates the headlines. We should keep optimistic that fighters and promoters might seek the best for the future. The multiple titles have hurt the sport for awhile, but as I said there are a few champs that....
