Its a good thing American boxing is dying.

Floyd Mayweather and Al Haymon killed boxing in America, turned fighters into businessmen and turned fans into accountants and haters.

Honestly there is nothing good about American boxing at this stage, all it is is money, duckers, divas and prima Donna's

And the "american attitude" is starting to seep south and poison Mexican boxing too.

With Americans only caring about their own, and not producing many decent fighters anymore, they are switching over to other sports like mma or pro wrestling where they are still on top.

This means other countries are taking over like Eddie hearn while american criminals like all haymon are going broke due to "bad investments" don't king and Bob arum will die soon, and Oscar will be back in rehab once Alvarez gets exposed.

Long continue the rise of Cuba, and Europe, the new homes of boxing. Sick and tired of the cowardly american way.

Yeah man, I agree with that but let's not forget American fighters have been doing this diva thing like dropping titles and getting out of their mandatory way before Canelo Alvarez and no I don't accept what Canelo did.

We need more Americans like Deontay Wilder, Errol Spence and Timothy Bradley (even though Bradley ducked Khan) but these are the type of guy who will be willing to fight without anyone.
I feel bad for those type of guys mentioned above because guys like Ward, Floyd Mayweather and Riddick Bowe they leave a bad stain on American boxing history and people will associate boxing with those guys who would be willing to drop a title to prevent fighting someone don't care how you want to paint it but its a coward move to prevent the fans seeing the fight we want to.

American boxing isn't dead. If it was, then as goes the death of American boxing, so then the death of the sport of boxing itself. America remains the mecca of the sport and the only super power.

Globally boxing cannot exist without American boxing because the U.S. Has a hegemony on the sport. When there is a boxing match in the U.S. the whole world takes notice. That's why boxers from all over the globe come to the U.S. To become mainstream crossover stars.

The very same cannot be said when it comes to the U.K. Eastern Europe, New Zealand, Australia or even South East Asia.

And people wonder why Donald Trump is so popular.

You can thank Floyd Mayweather for that

Took five years and $250 mil to make him fight the washed up, war torned Pacman. Ducking pays doe.

Piss off

Boxing won't "die" without america, the biggest sport in the world is football which america don't even have a team in.

Klitschko's and many others have proven america isn't needed.

Floyd Mayweather ( Good Night Ricky Hatton) Andre Ward ( Masterclass on the Worm Carl Froch) , Deontay Wilder ( bye bye Audley Harrison), Terence Crawford (owned Ricky Burns), Danny Garcia ( lights out Khan) , Charlo bros, Timothy Bradley ( schooled Junior Whitter in UK) , Keith Thurman , Jessie Vargas (about to take Kell Brooks O) , Leo Santa Cruz ( Going to butcher Frampton in NY) , all brits and Euros are easy work -- USA!

If another nation (UK, Germany, even China) was taking over and starting to stage the biggest fights then fair enough, but HBO's budget cuts and PBC's reduced schedule isn't a good thing for the sport as no other network, promoter or country is stepping in to fill the void.

Sir no one ever noticed the Klitschkos until they started fighting on American television; HBO to be exact. They don't call that American based company television network "building stars" for nothing.

Even with that slogan, HBO still struggled in making the Klitschko boys into crossover, mainstream and box office draws among casual fans in the U.S. That's why they were forced to move back to Germany and compete where they had a much broader appeal because outside of the U.S. There wasn't much a fanbase. They had to make their money at the live gate.

The truth is boxing is dying globally. It is no longer a mainstream sport anymore and that's the truth. More importantly, it is largely due to the decline of the Heavyweight boxer like Tyson, Holyfield, Holmes Ali etc; Who had once competed in the most glamorous and prestigious division in the sport.
