Has social media ruined boxing?

It's definitely changed it a lot. I'm not sure if it's for the better.

mayweather ruined it by clever match making to avoid losing his 0. now all the other fighters copy him

It has. Casuals are clueless and they make my skin crawl. All they do is repost KO highlight reels and ask a bunch of random people, "Who buyin' da fight? Who y'all got?"

FOH, fool!

It�s the main stimulus for turning this sport into a circus IMO.

In what way has it ruined it? Do you mean with this youtube fad?

Social media can be a great tool, can it not be argued it has taken it to other audiences and markets?

Agree these idiots going pro with no experience fighting other nobodies is a joke when some fighters dedicate their lives to the sport and don�t get anywhere near the exposure or money.

But I like to look it the other way, boxing is exploiting these youtubers to bring the sport to a young audience who otherwise would never watch a fight!

Not think?

I think social media hasn’t ruined anything.

I think it’s just allowed us to all express how garbage we are.

No one in boxing would have thought back in 1998 “Let’s have Oscar De La Hoya punch Jim Carey in the face.”

Because it’s ******. Just like it’s ****** to have Mayweather punch Logan Paul in the face.

But now the dumb public has a vehicle to express what it wants. And they obviously want Mayweather-Paul.

I think we all really would have wanted Oscar De La Hoya- Jim Carey 21 years ago. We just couldn’t express it.
