Boxing media fatigue

Agree Froch, disagree with Groves and Simon Jordan. Haven’t watched any of the other stuff for years but yes, Kugan has always been a top helmet, dad bod, soft as they come gimp who tries to make out he’s something. I’d put decent money on him never having a little hand bag tussle in his life, never mind a proper straightener.

 

You’ve pretty much nailed it. I agree with them all except the last 2. I like Froch and Groves.

Sky Sports News get fighters in for interviews occasionally and put them on YouTube. About the only interviews worth listening to.

 

It's not just boxing it's pretty much all sports coverage. It's just all sensationalism and very very dull

 

Most sports and I watch a lot of football, decided couple of years ago to just watch the matches I want without build up. Enjoy the games better now.

Certainly be it boxing and hats to a lot of posters here, you will get a lot of decent takes here a lot of TV platforms are hit and miss.

 

boxing must be the sport with the most imbalanced ratio between social media channels and actual events happening

 

I like Ade Oladipo’s YouTube channel.

 

Well, I guess it’s only going to get worse with the big fight coming up this weekend — brace yourself for mental overload. Might be time to build an ark, mate, because you’re about to get flooded with bull**** all week.

 

It's the same problem with the amount of podcasts that are on the go - once social media allowed people to get themselves out there be it to start a podcast / youtube channel / coaching business or whatever else, the floodgates were open to any old idiot and main character who think they've got something to offer.

 

Nailed it.

I think COVID fast-forwarded social media by a decade in 18 months — great for the billionaire owners, not so much for the rest of us. Apart from a few exceptions, “content creation” is now mostly bored people chasing validation and calling it a side hustle, earning McDonald’s money while dressing it up with Canva posts. Once AI and Optimus hit scale, oversaturation of boxing content will be the least of anyone’s worries. If the tech moguls get their way, Generation Beta / Gamma will be waking up plugged straight in — Matrix style.

 

Don't forget... Jeff Powell's piece in the Daily Mail about Daniel Dubois, Joseph Parker boring him to death against AJ, insight because of having the 'pleasure of interviewing' someone, Frank challenging the cartels of Micky Duff & Terry Lawless, Andy Ruiz being the Pillsbury Doughboy, following Lennox around the US for his title fights, Eubank Jnr's mansion in Las Vegas, being 'right about' AJ having PTSD, 'Lloyd Honeyghan', the price of cheese, so-and-so's, quicker than quickland, tripe, "nonthenthe" (nonsense), and various Spencer Oliver put-downs... There are plenty more!!!

Apart from that, quite enjoy Simon

 

I used to love it years ago and id watch hours of interviews, now I'll watch the odd Froch vid and listen to Macklins podcast while I'm work but as for IFL etc I wouldn't know if they are still going... I think this is probably how social media works, all of a sudden you are hot then all of a sudden you're not

 

Tris Dixon’s 2019 boxing podcast was a trailblazer. Now? Hundreds flood the ring.

It’s not just oversaturation — it’s overstimulation.

Sound familiar? Every industry follows this script: a spark of innovation, then a chaotic pile-on.

Like the Gold Rush, most prospectors strike out. The real winners? The shovel sellers.

Today, that’s Elon, Zuck, and Alphabet’s execs — cashing in on the platforms the digital prospectors scramble to use.

 

Online coaches are the biggest gimps going. Probably one of the reasons I deleted Instagram. Some roid head stood there like Mr Motivator telling people to ‘level up’.
