We are getting 2 super fights the same week and promotion has been almost non existent from my observation. It's a shame that fights like Tank/Garcia have 10x more the promotion and buzz. If I wasn't a boxing fan, I would have no clue that these 2 upcoming fights are even happening.
Ukranian trolls hurt boxing alot, practically invading and occupying bulletin boards like this one spamming dumb stuff about their Ukranian fighters, some of them paid for others just volunteering for the country. It's a shame really cause folks like me start to put a great fighter like Loma and a really good fighter like Usyk into the same box as the manufactured overhyped Klitschkos. This is due to the Uketrolls just being sooo damn repulsive, ones mind starts to categorize the trolls and the fighters together. Spence and his pbc hurt the eff out of Buds and Spences careers making it much harder to promote that fight. The Japanese may care about Inoue so that's something but nobody cares about this Fulton guy, I'm not even sure if he is from the US or the UK. Perhaps he will get some recognition in his home country if he wins.
It’s not a shame that Tank-Garcia got more hype, those guys do so much to promote themselves, especially Ryan.
Spence really doesn't deserve the biggest purse for this fight after delaying it for 8 years. As for Inoue, it is what it is, no Japanese boxer has ever made any money before in boxing and the biggest fight ever to happpen in that division was probably Morales vs Barrera I and since then (23 years ago) not much has happened there and Inoue is probably making more for this fight than those fighters did for their fight.
Inoue doesn't need the West to make money. If he did, they wouldn't be fighting at 5am Las Vegas time on a Tuesday. Crawford/Spence is a genuine concern and one that I share. Showtime isn't sufficient; they need to work harder to get the word out and are now running out of time.
