    I don't just watching boxing or anything else for the sake of it, I watch it for the good fights, just like I pick and choose which football games to watch, or which movies and tv shows to watch. As far as pre fight content, I try and catch up to it on the week of the fight, a sit's hard to get excited when the fight is a long way away and could even still get postponed. I like Sky Sports the gloves are off. Then I'll just watch whatever I think might be worth watching.

    But I love boxing, and when I decide not to watch a fight it doesn't mean that boxing doesn't interest me, it means that fight doesn't interest me, just as some movies don't interest me, but I love movies.

      I like what FOX is doing and I like DAZN 40 Days but other than that yeah it is the same GARBAGE for the most part a lot of wannabe 24/7's but it is not the Production it all depends on the fighters they're covering. Most fighters are F#cking Boring outside of the ring!

      It was Mayweather who came up with the 24/7 Idea and he put on a show leading up to that fight with Oscar. Most of these fighters while extremely talented in the ring, they have ZERO "IT" FACTOR outside of it yet some of them are so entitled and want to be Mayweather so bad

        Boxing today is like a pure soap opera
        From trainers , fighters , managers , promoters and finally the networks
        All fighting for position
        Getting old real quick , knowing ahead of time that the interviewers won’t ask the big question we wanna hear about , now they’re all paid to be yes men
        So you get mostly bullchit out of all these intros
        Even the insulting seems to be choreographed

          It's because everybody's a hack now.

          This is the bad part about not having boxing covered by real media (in the US, at least) that often.

          Then we have to go to the internet, where everybody's a partisan hack in every field.

          There's just stans for their favorite boxer or even worst yet, their favorite promoter.

          It's one of the reasons that I've started ignoring a lot of threads on here.

            I don't need that stuff. I know the fighters. I just want to see the fight.

              Some boxing shows I don't watch live because of endless commercials. They have more commercials than fights and they take forever to get to the fight. I tape those shows and watch them later and fast forward through all the BS and go straight to the actual fight. I even fast forward the 60 seconds between rounds. That way I can watch a 12 round fight in 36 minutes with nothing wasting my time.

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.

                  Yes but only with the American scene.

                    Boxing in general, it isn't a nationalistic thing. Those on top aren't giving us the fights we want, heck Hearn has GGG, Canelo and Andrade on DAZN and he can't deliver any combo of those fights(although canelo would be the hardest as he is with dazn but signed to Goldenboy.

                    Wilder is fighting Fury, so there's that. All other PBC fighters aren't doing anything right now or have anything good in the works

                      I got the ESPN+ subscription, and that has been good for me. There are a bunch of interesting 30 for 30 episodes, and they have a lot of old fights available as well.
