When did people become fans of promoters instead of fighters?

All of y'all know when this happened. Stop playing stupid. This aint some **** the fans started. This was started and encouraged by boxing media. Now everybody acting stupid like they don't know what happened

And here you see the art of using words to say NOTHING. What Boxing media?

I never remember people being fans of Don King or Bob Arum back in the day the way people are fans of promoters now.

When did this happen and why?

I think this along with the business of boxing talk becoming more of a thing is about hardcore fans having too much time on their hands & few big fights to talk about. When fewer big fights happen side talk with big fighters starts being more talked about.

To me, it feels racially motivated and I think it happened when De La Hoya and Haymon broke up.

Thoughts?

Idk that its motivated by racial bs so much as some mfers live & die on racial sh^t & could make a discussion about their favorite food or book some racial bs even if it wouldnt outwardly seem that way to most cats.

All promoters care about their money than the fighters. They can not be trusted. Silly for boxing fans to support them.

It is most definitely racial. I have spoken about it on here many, many times.

People really think this is something hundreds of thousands of fans all independent of each other suddenly started doing. Just out of the blue the fans started choosing sides.

Ok......

Can you explain why you think this started to happen?

You said it’s obvious and everyone knows but I really don’t And am curious to hear why you think it happened.

Also who you got winning the Kov. Canelo fight? I'm betting Kovalov. I just know there are weight classes for a reason. But you usually call them right??? So if I can get 10:1 odds is that dumb? A bad bet?

Thanks!
