i heard some people saying this and wanted to no what your thoughts are. but they were saying boxing is gonna die when de la hoya retires because hes the only real famous person out or something like that. i kinda think thats bull **** but i do think boxing is dying slowly
Boxing just need to become more accessible again, fewer weights, fewer belts, fewer PPV's and a recognisable heavyweight champ wouldn't hurt either.
Boxing is fine but it does need some adjustments. One of the first moves to get it going in the right direction is to do something about greedy promoters and having the best actually fight the best.
Pitting a great fighter up against another great fighter was the recipe in the 80's. Worked well then and you know how the ol' saying goes, "If it ain't broke . . ."
Fewer belts + forced defenses against the BEST fighters could save boxing. Unfortunately, at this stage, it is impossible to get that.
A unified Heavyweight Champ is the first step. Straighten up the sanction organizations would be second. Kill Dong King third.
Wouldn't killing Don King just mean his son there would take his place? From what I know, he's just as bad as his father
Plenty of things are killing boxing that I just dont see going away. Too many ABC belts. Too many corrupt organizations. Too many corrupt promoters. Too many horrible biased decisions. Too many fights on pay per view. Too little fights on network TV. Too many non-bankable stars. Too many boring fights. Too little of the correct promotion. Too many lackluster cards. Too much ducking rather then putting the best against the best. TOO MUCH BULL****! So many things that ya just cant easily fix. I hope they do...but seriously...it doesnt matter. I LOVE boxing...I wont stop watching.
I've heard that so many times since about 5 years ago. But you know what? Those people that I knew who said that already died and yet boxing is still here kicking and very much alive. :hey So what do you think?
