Boom, hopefully they can sort out the corruption

The Olympics mean a lot of government funding for athletes. This attracts more talented athletes because they don't have to pay their own way.

Boxing would be greatly damaged in the long run without the Olympics and grass roots development.

 

Get in. Suppose its a bit daft saying it here on a Boxing forum but the Boxing is my favourite event at the games. I do fear that the AIBA are going to be up for more battles to secure their place at the games in the future though.

 

Seems strange they would consider kicking boxing out of the Olympics prior to Tokyo.

The Japanese love their boxing.

Probably one of the reasons it stayed in.

 

I stopped giving a **** about the Olympics when they let GOLF in ffs.

 

Why did they ask Ali to light their freaking flame if they want to kick the sport out?

Boxing has been there since the beginning.

If they want to kick boxing out, just boot women's boxing.

Give the women jelly wrestling instead.

 

Mud wrestling would be better.

 

Good to hear.. I'm a big fan of the amateurs.

Olympics is the best platform for an amateur to make a name

Corrupt from top to bottom tho..

 

Very good news

 

every sport is as corrupt as a politician or televangelist.

 

Not doubting you but where did you get this from? I can’t see anything positive online.

 

I stopped giving shots when they let shooting in!

 

Me thinks someone finally agreed to share.

Nothing like the good old “if you don’t do this, you won’t have that”
