There are still big heavyweight fights... just not in America. Fury/Haye is going to be huge, as is Klitschko/Povetkin. Interest in the HW division has died down at least here because there are no good American HW's, but the HW scene is thriving over in Europe.
Klitschko Povetkin is huge in Europe. This is one of the biggest sporting events ever to take place in Russia.
No body can deny that without heavyweights, as crappy as they sometimes may be, all we are seeing is little man children, that most of us can beat up anyways, punch each other out like midgets in a circus....basically we're paying to see a c-o-c-k fight. HW division is where real men come to fight and that is why no division comes close to exciting an entire country like the heavyweights. The fight this weekend hardly pales in comparison.
I'm missing the top American heavyweights, but certainly not the PPV crap that comes with it. Because let's face it, it's not about them being that good, it's about them being Americans. If the Eastern block heavies had never been there, we would have massively hyped up expensive PPV's right now. Imagine the unification bout between IBF champ Tony "the Toiger" Thompson 38-1, 26KO's vs WBA champ David "Noisemaker" Haye 26-1, 24KO's. It would be massive in the US and the UK. Can the former CW beat the old and crafty American legend Thompson? That would be what you pay your $60 PPV for :yep
They haven't gone, just relocated to Europe. Take Britain for example. The Haye vs Fury ppv will absolutely destroy the numbers Mayweather vs Canelo will do in Britain. This will be the second year in a row that Britain's biggest fight of the year will be at hw after Haye vs Chisora. Not bad when you consider those two fights weren't even for a version of the World title nor even the European title, Christ these fights aren't even for the British title! HW boxing is booming in Europe big time.
The 90s was amazing, today is ****. Lewis, Tyson, Morrison, Golota, Bowe, Bruno, Mercer, Hide, Holyfield, Ruddock etc.. A golden era where as today is a **** coloured rusty era.
You ought to care because the past makes the future. That said, your negativity is baseless and in every thread you participate in. It's either your mother refused to pay this PPV for you or you're just a depressed ugly loser.
Cherry picking?, the Klitschkos are fighting everyone the division has to offer. It's not their problem the division is lacking.
It is and it isn't. Boxnation is a PPV channel where obviously a lot of it's subscription numbers come in for specific fights.
