I said AB would win

I care about the numbers because I believe that popularity does have an affect the quality of our sport. The more these guys are getting paid the more up and coming talent we will see. If this sport pays pennies, and fighters have no popularity this sport will continue this downhill slope. That's my opinion on the matter anyways.

 

Lomachenko and Crawford are insanely talented. Aesthetically Lomachenko is probably the most pleasing boxer in this era. The fact that these 2 talents are virtually unknown shows how much this sport has regressed. I mean Crawford and Lomachenko have 100k followers combined on Twitter? Haha. I know twitter isn't everything but the fact that these 2 guys that are so talented have basically 0 recognition at all to anyone who is not a hardcore boxing fan has to be a turn off to the future of our sport.

 

Or... It will make the public losing even more faith in boxing. People will only take being conned so many times.

 

Certainly doesn't help when garbage like Mayweather/McGregor steals their thunder.

 

I mean I admit that Broner has less value now. Mikey hit the jackpot. Crawford and Loma lost. They would have benefited from fighting Broner and both were most likely desperate to do so. Broner probably thought his best shot was with Mikey.

 

Mayweather/McGregor only benefits boxing. It brings unknown eyes to the sport.

 

Nah... It will have the same effect that May/Pac did. Short term cash grab that benefits both fighters. But everyone will be slating the fight and calling it for what it was after the fact.

 

It won't have any negative impact on the sport. You really think hardcores who watch are going to stop watching because of McGregor? I feel like there was a surge of new casuals after Pac/Floyd who are massive GGG fans. I feel like it'll only bring new viewers.

 

Rofl. Stop.

 

That did happen. I browse a general sports forum elsewhere and the amount of boxing threads that appeared surged after MayPac and settled at a rate that was more prominent than before MayPac. As for them being GGG fans I'm not too sure about. Many of them favor Canelo in that argument while some can't let go of the MayPac era.

 

canelo will lose.

 

Who found the cure? I thought you couldn't fix stupid.
