This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Look this **** has gone on since day one, the difference is these days is that we as fans can witness this **** for ourselves. It has got worse since I started following the sport. I mean I remember complaining over the start of the IBF and the WBO, look where the **** we are now, if your a real fan like me you follow the fighters and not the charade that surrounds it. Boxing has some big problems, but as with life **** doesn't change until it breaks, this is the same with boxing. In order for boxing to recover it will need to **** itself a lot further than it has in order to recover. If people got together and stopped buying PPV and reduced there revenue, we would soon see changes, the fact is a large proportion of people are ****ing sheep, who will cry like bitches when they get rinsed only to go and do the same **** a month later when the next big fight comes and they get sold some fresh hype. To me though as a boxing fan rather than a fan of a fighter, boxing is the purist form of sport. Boxing is dead, long live BOXING!
And if you still believe in it, I've got some magic beans for sale. 2 for $100 but I'll make you an even better deal at 4 for $300!!
These sports have always had a heavy betting culture from the start, I think as soon as big money enters the equation corruption blossoms. Boxing has been bent like horse racing from the start, I think a lot of people just accept it for what it is.
I don't know why people are assuming I'm a Pac fan. I put money on Bradley just to make the fight interesting. I WON MONEY last night and I'm saying it's bull****. Now, I've lost enough to not feel guilty about it, but it was wrong. I've seen bad decisions before. JMM was bad. This was worse. This was the worst decision I've ever seen, hands down. I love the sports of boxing, but what I'm saying is that the outcomes of the matches are turning into wrestling. Not believable. I'm happy I won money. I was actually surprised that sportsbook.ag paid the bet, but they did.
Vince McMahon was laughing his a** off after that fight last night. I watched the fight twice and I'm a Bradley fan. I wanted him to win. He won four rounds tops and that is being very generous. He knew he lost, his corner knew he lost, everyone in attendance knew he lost. The sad thing is right now, I can come up with more legitimate reasons as to how and why the fight was fixed than I can legitimate reasons as to how Bradley won. This is what boxing has become.
The other thing that makes me laugh is that pretty much unless Manny knocks a guy down he can't win a round with most fans. The same fans that think Bradley won 10, 11 and 12 must have Manny winning the other 9 rounds then for the same exact reasons. And again, I am not a Manny fan. I wanted Bradley to win. I'm a Floyd fan.
Agreed. I wouldnt say I lost all faith, but lets say my faith level is low at 15%. One more shock and I will collapse
It's the end of boxing because Pac lost a SD? :roll: This **** has been going on in boxing for a hundred years. Had Pac knocked him out it wouldn't of been left in the hands of the judges...
Damn, a bunch of you **** heads are naive as hell. Has boxing always been shady, sketchy, corruptible? Hell yes. No ****. But if you think last night was just boxing, business as usual, a simple bad decision....then you're in denial. Part of the reason why boxing is in the shape it is, is because too many "fans" continue to accept it the way it is.
