    What is going on in boxing??? No fights scheduled for Spring/Summer...

    What is going on in boxing????????

    The only scheduled meaningful fights are Wilder vs Fury 2 and Mikey Garcia vs Jessie Vargas...

    No fights scheduled for Canelo, Manny Pacquiao, Anthony Joshua, Errol Spence, Shawn Porter, Gennady Golovkin.

    Just no planning and structure being used so the fans can plan what the fights are and these fighters need to be busier and be fighting more often and be in the public eye more often.

    Boxing needs to get it moving.

    I thought 2019 was a good year of boxing. Hopefully 2020 will be better but by the looks of these first few months it looks bleak. .

      Once Canelo picks his next opponent, all the guys waiting for him will have to announce other fights instead. Same with the guys at 147, if Pac vs Spence is happening then Thurman, Garcia, Porter can make other plans

        Boxing is getting worse by the minute IMO, no big fights scheduled, and unfortunately I am loosing interest in the sport and slowly liking more UFC and other combat sports, where everyone fights everyone or move to another company.

        Boxing is totally different and they are bringing the promoters card far too much now.

          Promoter cards are so damn ridiculous cause we know in advance it is going to be filled with 15-0 fighters going against hapless 13-6 fighters. Every time I think of a promoters card, I imagine 3-4 fights on the card and most of the fights are either one-sided or 1st round blowout mismatches. This is why I like ShoBox because they have a lot of 15-0 fighters going up against 12-0 or 17-1 fighters.

            You are right and some of the fights on ShoBox are very competitive.

              García vs Vargas is not very meaningful. If that is meaningful then the rest of the fights suck. They are barely top10 in ww. García is top 5-10 maybe.

                God damn right!!! Nelo is holding the boxers near his weight class up. It's like they are praying that they get chosen by the modern cash cow. Hurry up NELO!!!

                  They don't even have the undercard for the PPV that takes place in 3 weeks announced yet, and you want a full schedule for spring/summer? Lol.
