Popularity and PPV's importance with boxing fans

Recently reading that Bob Arum had stated losing a lot of money on promoting Terence Crawford, my question is:

Is the PPV responsibility weighed too heavily on the boxers rather than the promoters?


I'd urge anyone to ponder the purpose of 'boxer' and 'promoter' and evaluate what those job titles entail.

 

I absolutely agree there. The PPV mentality has to go away. Making great fights on TV should be an attribution to boxing fans, funneling onto PPV.

 

Seems far worse than that when Youtubers can pull in massive crowds and I have to hear about great boxing matches not happening due to lack of interest.

 

Seems to go in roundabouts as to great fighters, great fights and title chasers. These rarely meeting.

 

I get the sentiment. I - as I imagine many people - waited so long for Mayweather to face Pacquiao. Once they eventually met it was all but limp and I watched 2 great fighters facing - as the result of - promotion's hype in the ring.

 

You're trippin. That guy is injecting hype into PPV and disrespecting the boxing game. Apologies if that 'Jake Paul kid and his brother' are two different people, they don't seem to come up much in conversation about boxers.

Please tell me how these people are bringing anything positive to the sport.

When did you hear anyone talking about the tachniques, tactics, ability, etc, etc,

You're either trolling or tripping. I'm keen to hear boxing fans' opinions concerning boxing.

 

I'm saying this in the knowledge that Youtuber's will garner an unprecedented amount of PPV of eyes to gawk and awe at a freak show.

Where's the respect for the sport?

Where are the true fans when all the fake s*!t talk has ended and they go again, all the while boxers are throwing it down in the ring?
