I blame us fans for!!!!

US fans? yeh

 

To a certain extent the fan carries some blame.

I think however that most of the blame lies in the promoter who has money stake in his fighter.

Promoters are not going to bring risk to a fighter the masses think highly of if he can get away with making money matching him with lesser fighters.
I think its always been this way but its more prevalent now with the creation of "instant media."

The human being is naturally a being that can be easily influenced and brainwashed through creative marketing called hype.
Most sport fans are not very knowledgeable on the product they buy and watch period, and this is exponentially more true with fightfans as unlike other sports, its not something they grow up playing themselves.

Sadly, there's not enough knowledgeable boxing fans to do much about forcing promoters to stage better matchups

 

before we agree let's get an expert opinion on this. MoneyMayTBE are you here?

 

I blame the promoters. Don King is the genius that started all of this when he figured out the public would pay to see Tyson on PPV against bums.

 

:heyYup that is about right. You tell em Markq:fire

 

I don't. Fans are fans with every sport. Some sports are successful and some not, with more or less the same demographics of fans. Problem with boxing is that if you lose a fight, your opponent may never give you a rematch and there's nothing you can do about it. Boxing needs a good international federation which handles the financial shares and more importantly makes necessary fights happen, like Floyd vs Pac or Adonis vs Kovalev, and if a fighter loses a fight, he should be able to get a rematch after a period of successful fights whether his opponents wants or not. If a fighter refuses to fight a necessary fight, he should be stripped of all of his belts. This promoter/sanctioning body mess is what kills boxing.

If there were no World Cups, where every contitent champion claimed they are the best and never faced each other, football wouldn't be the football today which billions of people follow.

 

It's called the Super Bowl in football :deal You guys play footsies.

 

:rofl:roflMarkqatsch

Footsies 4 all

 

ok call it that and imagine NFL without Superbowl, that's what boxing is today. It's not handled well, so it's losing popularity every day.

 

I agree US fans are *****es

 

I'm sick of the whole "This generation of boxing sucks" debacle...oh and the heavyweight division is dead.There are good fights & good boxers out there, it really does exist.

 

Pac knows that a loss doesn't make him any less great if you continually push yourself to the limits,floyd does aswell but talks a lot of ****,a true warrior wants to be the best and prove it in the ring floyd wants none of that

 

oh great well done OP , you have just gave mayweather another excuse for not fighting manny .

fans fault my a$$ !!!
