    It wasn't always like this, it used to be 30% speculation, 35% arguments, and 35% viewing.

    Not even close to enough boxing. I wish we still had shows like USA's Tuesday Night Fights to ensure a fix at least once a week.

    No, I think fighters should fight every 3-4 months...

    how can we get enough fights when people want to see lawsuits instead of fights?

    about the same way fighters agree to fights, then impose self made rules about health testing, because the ones that have been in place seem tobe working the last 30 plus years

    Sadly there is still misguided boxing fans who thinks there is a resurgence in boxing popularity. How can there be a resurgence when boxers nowadays rarely fight?

    drawback of having boxers fighting too often is that the quality of fight doesn't live up to fans' expectation. Boxing fights have to be exciting for the fans.

    another drawback, boxers who fight too often are sometimes fighting unrank fighters which doesn't generate interest to the fans. In general, fight fans want to see quality boxers only.
