    im losing the love and passion. mostly because of the controversy and corruption.
    its just continuous. there should of been no controversy over ggg vs canelo. all they had to do is make score card believable.

    im sick of the stoppages that arent clean and controversial.
    peds ruining the sport.
    media ruins the sport.

    right now were getting the best fights. but controversy is becoming the norm in boxing an it has me hanging on by a thread. wilder vs ortiz and loma vs rigo could save me , but if some bull crap happens once again i mite be done.

    does any one else feel the same way?

    I'm really glad that you made this announcement... but please relax. Mayweather and Ward have retired, so 50% of the PEDs in boxing are gone (until they unretire).

    so why have you been a fan all of your life because there have been bad decisions far worse than saturday. Aside from the 118-110 scorecard, the fight could have gone either way or a draw. I'm sure you didn't mind De la Hoya getting bs decisions against Whitaker, Quartey, and Sturm. You didn't mind Chavez/Whitaker. Diddn't have much to say about Garcia/Thurman(a fight I picked Garcia to ko Thurman but was dominated and one judge gave it to Garcia). Every few months guys talks this bs about being done with boxing until the next big fight haha. ok. Controversy has been around in boxing before both of us were born and will be in boxing after both of us are gone.

    been to 100s of live shows / but all the live shows used to be on wed and friday nights with saturdays being in the afternoon and the evening

    now it is all 11pm starts on saturdays only and every big fight PPV on tv /
    killing free tv for boxing takes away a lot of exposure and making boxing sat night only made it hard for me as i work 5am sundays

    that's the main thing I hate about boxing and UFC both is that the main even always starts past midnight. Sometimes in the ufc the main event starts close to 1 am. I'm on the east coast but even in the west 10 pm start time for a fight is a bit late. I don't know what the reasoning is over the past 2 decades for late fights

    This coming from the fan of a man that everyone in the world knows was on steroids (Pacquiao) and needs them now just to get past nobody fringe contenders named Jeff Horn.

    Everyone is on roids or should be. The UFC is suffering big time right now due to testing and boxing has the same old tricks of the trade. That should be thrown out. When you fight overseas, besides the UK, nobody test for PEDs.

    its to frequent man. im 28 years old. past 15 years i been heavy into boxing. controversy in normal in boxing and that crap is stupid. and im not ok with any of those fights u mentioned above. danny should not have a scorecard in his favor. sturm vs oscar all that crap was suspect.

    I feel the same way, but I can also see the other side of the coin, the fighters that put on great fights for us and they can't be blamed for judge's poor decisions. Take Canelo / GGG, a flipping electrifying fight that most people voted an 8/10 ... I don't want to **** all over their efforts just because some old bag high on cough syrup ruined the night with her imbecility.

    Loving this sport is like banging a hot lady that is crazy enough to kill your family and yet you just can't stop hitting it IMO
    Good luck
    Got to go as she calling

    ward had a bit of controversy here late in his career. and floyd been around for a while and just had a normal amount of controversy floyd usually beat his opponent and nowone has problems with it. floyd vs castillo was suspect . and maidana vs floyd was super close fight . n floyd vs vic rubbed ppl the wrong way but hes been around for a while.
