    Anyone bored of boxing content except fights?

    Whenever there was a fight coming up, i used to watch all the content like 24/7, or the fight camp videos or whatever. Press conferences, interviews, training videos etc.

    Now i seem to have no interest in all that anymore. I still get excited for the fights as much as ever. I usually will probably watch some of the other content on the day of the fight or something.

    I think it’s probably because you can already guess what’s gonna happen or be said in most episodes, interviews, pressers.

    I don’t think i’ve watched anything about the Fury v Wilder rematch except a bit of the press conference that happened to be on by chance when i was on youtube.

    Yeah, I've been extremely bored with boxing content (outside of a podcast or 2) for quite some time now. Just get me to the fight night.

      I know what you mean and that is why I recently started my own podcast. Do you have any suggestions for it?

        I'll be honest, I've been losing interest in boxing all together. I haven't watched a fight in weeks. This era just isn't interesting, fools worried too much about losing, garbage network crap, fanboys becoming promoter groupies, and less and less are actual fans getting the fights we want to see.

          There is no one-stop shop for all your boxing needs anymore so you have to sift through all the garbage to find the good stuff. You don’t always have to do that though because the internet is creepy these days and remembers what you like. Just start watching whatever you can find and over time your feed will start suggesting better videos as it’s adapting to your interests.

          “How do I transform my feed to resemble yours?” you may ask. Good question and thank you for asking. You can begin by searching for and watching any of the following

          Rummy’s Corner

          Showtime boxing

          PBC boxing

          DAZN boxing

          Those are the essentials as it covers current fighters and fights of historical significance. From there you can slowly branch off and start finding interviewers or podcasters that you enjoy.

            For the past month or so I’ve been workin Saturday nights. Not because I have to, but I choose to just to make some extra cash, I choose my own schedule. That being the case, I’ve missed a lot of boxing for the past couple of months.

            Haven’t even read a lot of stories or anything like that. Other than the Wilder - Fury rematch, I don’t know what the upcoming schedule looks like, and Wilder - Fury is really the only one I’m excited for tbh.

            I don’t even post here as much as I used to lol.

              This is a great post, thank you. I am subscribed to PBC boxing. They sometimes post full fights on YouTube that aired a few months previously, so that’s nice. I’ll have to look at the other ones you suggested.

                I very rarely feel the same kind of tension while watching boxing these days, there is simply? Nobody in the game who I have a real rapport with etc The last real boxing match up that I was heavily invested in was 'Tony Bellew vs David Haye I' awesome roller coaster of a fight. That fight was a great time for David Haye to retire 'He lost the match, but in some ways won the fight with his showing of courageousness'

                Specifically speaking about boxing content 'I have always found 24/7 very tacky and choreographed, I have never liked it'. But the HBO face offs/Sky-sports Gloves are off are always very intriguing content.

                Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder is really good match up, but I am pretty much neutral on who I want to win etc

                  I like RING IQ BOXING on YouTube to keep up on news but I have really lost a lot of interest with all the childish and female drama surrounding boxing and this board lately.
