Anyone bored of boxing content except fights?

[Chrismart]

I don't watch any build up shows, press conferences, weigh-ins, etc these days. I used to watch, read, listen to everything I could.
Not so much anymore.

I keep up with the boxing news, know all the fighters and the date of the fights..so just tune in then.

Remember back in the day when “The Ring” magazine was the only thing that mattered before the boom of Internet forums and websites. Maxboxing.com and their forums was the first time I was able to connect with real boxing fans back in early 2000’s now 20 years later it’s just more about promoters,networks and managers news than actual fighting and fights.

Network, promoter and managers fanboys need to put the pom poms down and ask for real fights

Yes, all of its getting to be watered down, even the youtube channels are getting a bit redundant

[_Rexy_]

Yeah, I only watch the fights. I don't even watch the weigh ins anymore, just check boxrec for the weights the night before. Even the stuff between the fights is just background noise TBH.

I keep up with the news because I want to be filled in on what's going to happen fight wise, and because I like talking about boxing. But thats it.

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

We have recently had Horn -v- Zerafa 1 and 2, both were pretty dramatic and what fans wanted to see and now we have Horn -v- Tszyu 2, yoohoo. The US problem does seem to be nationalistic given the promoters and who has signed with who, that does not seem to be the situation in the rest of the world. Neither does endemic ducking, I guess that in other countries fighters have to climb over each other to get international recognition.

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 think it is just a part of life.

You feel excited at first but after some time get bored of it. Happens all the time in different stages of life we get attracted to different things. Also, after some time watching these, you realize you now know enough and much of the content is mere repetition, boasting, and rubbish talk which you found interesting at first but not any longer.

The content is only weak because the fights are weak. When you have good fights. You get good content like

Charlo vs Harrison
Spence vs Porter
Pacquiao vs Thurman

We have been getting ***** fights for a while now and it's making me lose interest in boxing which has always been my favorite sport.

Wilder vs Fury is the only big fight on the horizon. Then we sit another 3 months for Canelo to fight somebody we don't wanna see him fight. Then pacquiao will do the same. Then Spence will do the same. Then Crawford will do the same. Then we'll get a good unification loma/Lopez. Then more bull**** before we get another big fight to close out the year. Taylor/Ramirez maybe bivol/beterbiev

It's alot of talent and nobody stepping up.

It depends on the fight.... Some fights have zero tension. I miss the HBO days where i tuned in during the whole lead up to the fight.

[SUBZER0ED]

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.

Screw it, let's just make this a bowling forum. Mods?
