Boxing just hit a new low...

Well, obviously it's making money. If these events flopped, they wouldn't keep putting them on. Bottom line, someone is paying to see these type of fights.

 

The public is at fault.

the idiots paying and watching for this.

boxing fans are idiots.

 

Paul Gallen has been a professional since 2014?

So Browne lost to a pro boxer, what’s the big deal?

This isn’t Jake Paul. It was an elite athlete who has been boxing professionally for 6-7 years and maybe an amateur career before that?

 

The division just kinda sucks except for a couple of people

 

I think those who pay for these events are not boxing fans, but followers of yotubers, tiktokers, etc. They have millions of followers.

 

It was always UFC fans and fighters saying boxing was easy and pursuing crossover fights not the other way around. Connor mcgregor started this idiocy and proved all you need is a big mouth to sell fights

 

I don't recall suggesting that the likelihood was anything other than that and can't understand why you felt it necessary to explain that.

The fact remains that Browne had his (not world) title stripped for doping.

 

I've said this elsewhere, but calling Browne a world champ is stretching that term to absolute breaking point.

He beat an old, fat Chagaev to win the title that Trevor Bryan now holds, which he was then stripped of for PEDs.

Prime, juiced up Browne was barely top 20.

This version is a club fighter.

 

You are talking from your own narrative as absolute truth for you.
Not all MMA fighters are delusional and surprisingly for you, a lot of MMA fighters had competitive background in striking arts.
You just buy narrative like from grappler fight vs boxer fight under boxing rules.

At least best $ in world's history for pro debut fight and pro boxing is to earn as much $ as it is possible.
Or you think that no?

 

Thread fail. Browne is not a former world champion.

 

well he's not really.
it just shows how loose the term 'world champion' is in boxing, and that it doesn't mean in this sport what it means in almost all others.
which is exactly why some fighters and promoters get a belt and milk it, rather than face top opposition.

 

gallen's a rugby tough guy.
he's mostly fought other tough men from rugby, the AFL alpha, mark hunt (UFC) and now browne.

 

It physically hurts me when people refer to him as "former champion".
