    Boxing as a sport is being greatly disrespected

    It is now all about social media and followers

    Youtube people can come lead main events

    You can lose and people act like it never happened because you are famous

    I thought you had to work hard, be dedicated and win at the top level??

    Now it is just about being famous...They are turning this sport into a damn joke..

    What happened to the talent?? the grit?? the dedication???

    Hell even this forum is becoming a joke..hyping people over popularity and ignoring outcomes..what is boxing coming to?

      Your hero Mayweather started it when he fought Big Show, Conor Mcgregor and Tenshin.

      Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

              I agree with you. Did you say the same when Floyd made clown fights for money?

              I am not against the youtubers though.

                For sure. I can't believe these Youtube video game guys are headlining boxing events. Lmao. What a joke. Shame on DAZN and the matchmakers for this...

                  These YouTube gimps need to get the sht kicked out of them in real life & put it on YouTube & they wouldn't fight ever again. Only problem is whoever mercs them would be offered to take their place & the circle jerk cycle starts all over again

                    I just wish it wasnt the main event..... Other than that i don't see the big deal, it brings in money and attention for guys who people would have never noticed
