The New and Improved Boxing on TV thread!

Not to mention being labelled as good as Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali at the back of these mismatches.

 

Sorry to disappoint but the AJ ppv train doesn't come to halt after a loss. That's just another myth the haters love to spout.

 

True mate and A dame Smith screaming his pre-rehearsed quotes such as 'Lift off for AJ'

The PPV train is eating itself from the inside

 

But again what can we do about that,we as boxing fans know they are mismatches but the Casuals dont,you cant force them not to buy it,it's the image of AJ which makes them get hooked in,big muscles,pretty face,knockouts,Eddie Hearn is part of that package with his selling skills.Sky Advertising it throughout the past week,we cant do anything about,just stream it.I pay for the fights which i know there's value.So for the last 5 years,i have only paid for Froch Groves 2,Mayweather-Pacquiao,Fell for Joshua-Martin and Joshua-Klitschko.Brook Spence was decent but really Brook a PPV fighter?.I know some of them did not deliver but they had legit reasons and Value to be on PPV

 

100% this

 

AJ is making boxing very popular at the minute. He’s a great ambassador and role model for the sport. I don’t believe he’s the best boxer (Fury would box his head off) but he gets people interested in the sport. That’s only a good thing imo.

Guess you don’t like Bellew then

 

Role model what a former drug dealer and Bellew don't rate

 

Do people not deserve a chance to learn from their mistakes though, he’s surely proof that we can redeem ourselves.

 

Sure but with him there's something not right his am humble trash lol and who says they are humble you just are or your not you Dont say it I see straight threw it am not the only one lots do I mean it's like his reading from a script and when him and brezeale were doing the face off and the way he was talking to him and after the takam he was talking to the fans like they were stupid IMO that's the real aj his done well to keep the act going but the mask will slip it will take someone like fury to do it maybe haye could

 

I think it’s all media training mate. No doubt about it. I don’t believe he’s really like that for one minute. He’s playing the game nicely though. Clearly an intelligent lad. I don’t begrudge him his success though, and it’s great for British boxing imo.

 

And most importantly for AJ it is good for Nigerian Boxing or Sports in General.

 

Isn’t that exactly the reason why some would consider him a role model.

 

No idea, mate. He’s British isn’t he. He’s gonna have an affinity with his family’s country though understandably.

 

That is why he will never be a role mode

 

To use a line from the Office:

If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden and Adam Smith, I'd shoot Adam Smith twice.
