Yo fellow Americans: Its time we make boxing the best sport in the country again.

what do you mean? pacman & floyd are doing/have done... what oscar did.... except they just didnt get as much love along the way


years ago im sure they said there would never be another jack johnson
then ali comes along
years ago im sure they said there woudl never be another ali
then tyson comes along

etc etc.... there will always be someone that will take the sport on their shoulders and captivate the world..we just have to be patient and wait for him to come around..

ive explained to someone else this before on the forum numerous times

- basketball & football pay too much
- boxing is not offered in school
- the only possible way you can be exposed to boxing is if you have family in it or someone specifically brings you down to the gym
- boxing DOESN'T pay well enough
- boxing has no system

 

ok

 

check my last post... i just edited in there

 

Boxing doesn't need any exposure for these things to happen... There will always be kids in neighborhoods all over the world that will continue to put out young & talented fighters... We just have to hope that some of those taelnts turn into greats....I mean. Exposire will help but just because boxing doesn't get exposure (which it doesn't) won't stop the sport... Go on youtube right now and look up pretty boy bam bam or lehkai mayweather.. There are others as welll.. There will always be young boxers like I said you just have to be patient and wait

 

Regrdless of how many actual gyms there are kids will still box... And as long as people box competitively there will have to be one top dog that is better than the rest... You have nothing to worry about.... And boxing matters internationally all the latino fighters-the euro fighters- the african fighters - the asian fighters... They all hold places in boxing history as well so you can't deny them either... As long as people box the sport will be fine.. You just have to hope that one of the up and comers who come along is a true dynamo

 

:scaredas:

:good

 

PPV is killing boxing. Boxing used to be on free TV, ABC, NBC and CBS. Also, should show many of the European fights.

 

find a american boxing hero that never let the american fans down...just as the way pacquiao never let the filipino fans down

 

Larry Merchant said 'if we had a manny pacquiao in every division we would solve world hunger' or something like that. I don't think people starving to death give a crap about manny pacquiao (unless they're Fillipino), but it would make boxing the most popular sport in the world.

 

Take a look at some of the fights on TV, pure mismatches to build up a fighter's record. Those fights should not be shown on TV, leave them in the gym where they belong. We need some good matchups.

 

The UFC IS the household name.

It's a much better concept than relying on individual guys to draw.

 

Will probably never happen again... boxing is too dangerous and only the top 1% of 1% really get big money out of it. It's almost certain brain damage with very little chance of a reward. Just one of the reasons you should respect those crazy ****ers in the ring.
