How can anybody really enjoy boxing these days?

[Toffee]

All justified criticisms. But it's still a great sport to watch.

If you're not happy with the Fury/Wilder undercard then don't buy the PPV. That's the language you need to talk. The only thing they'll understand.

And UFC is garbage for plebs.

The so-called best fighters don't fight eachother. There's like 500 belts floating around that diminishes the value of what a champion should be. The overall skill level of fighters are absolutely terrible compared to old timers. Every fighter is trying to be the next floyd mayweather and is a diva *****. Most boxers at least the top level ones are so technical now and barely brawl it out. The refs dont allow inside fighting. It's a ****ing ****show, ufc is so much better LMAO AT U GUYS.

Because boxing still is the oldest /truest sport there is despite money/politics diluting it.

I agree the sport is definitely dying, look at the ticket sells and Ratings, Even Bobs is thinking about moving his shows worldwide away from the US, look at how many networks you have to go through to find your favorite fighters only to see him fight a no name.
I love the sport, It'll always be my favorite sport, but its in a very trash state at the moment.

... in 2019, there were enough very good fights at the top level...

i have to constantly imagine myself curb-stomping the judges, referees, promoters and commentators to get by. it keeps me sane and allows me to put up with the absolute fuccery that is the sport of boxing - the single most corrupt and backwards caveman sport to ever exist.

'let's have a press conference between 2 fighters that goes for 30 minutes, where the fighters speak for 1 minute all up and us old slaveowners/promoters talk for 29 minutes sucking off our sponsors...money MONEY MONEY MONEY!!"

Its sad to think boxing wasnt what it was.I feel its shows that the Saudis want to put on eg wanting the winner of Fury/Wilder to face Joshua out in Saudi in their primes that gets the casual/general sports fan interested and goes to what boxing should be the best fighting the best.

Credit to the Saudis for trying to put on a mega boxing event.They have the money to do it and Iam glad they feel the allure of boxing which deep down no other sport can truly harness .Hence the best fighters fighting each other.No equipment relatively speaking just man on man/soul on soul in survival of the fittest.

Yet 1 of the top 5 highest paid athletes in the world is a 29 yr old boxer.

Think about that before saying boxing is “dying” lol noobs have been saying that for two decades now lol

... in 2019, we had Manny vs Thurman, Canelo vs Jacobs, Spence vs. Porter, Williams vs. Hurd, Taylor vs. Prograis, Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk, GGG vs Derevyanchenko, Inoue vs. Donaire, Ruiz vs Joshua 2, a.s.o.
