    I got mine last week, has Pavlik on the cover. So far what Ive read it's been one of the better issues in a while.

    Give 'em a RING and complain about it: :lol:

    800-426-3768 or
    800 425-4600

    I'm thinking about calling 'em up and complaining myself!! I've never liked it since they stopped stapling the mags and went to the glued binding - but I've had an issue literally FALL APART as I was reading it!! :patsch

    Good pun.

    And good idea.

    If it doesn't show in a few days, I'll go Bernard Hopkins on that magazine's liver and leave them rolling on the ground.

    GO FOR IT.

    And while yer at it - give 'em hell for cancelling KO, World Boxing and Boxing 200X too!!! I still haven't gotten over that one!!

    Lemme tell ya, I've been subscribing to Boxing mags for over 20 years, and I always loved that I got like 4 or 5 of 'em per month. Now it's down to Ring, Boxing Digest (which sucks) and Boxing Monthly (British). That's IT!

    I agree. Boxing Digest is not that good.

    I've had single pages detach before, after I've read the thing several times - but this time, pages were literally falling out in droves on the first read!!!! :patsch I'd say half the magazine is single sheets right now. How the f*ck are you supposed to read something like that??? :fire

    I pay good money for these friggin' things. The more I think about it, the more I'm gonna call 'em up and say send me a g-damn replacement!:yep

    Me too, but this latest is only like my 4th or 5th issue since subscribing, so I didn't know they didn't used to fall the **** apart.

    Up until maybe about ten or so years ago, they STAPLED them, so they were much more solid, you could fold them back without risking pages coming out, etc. MUCH better. I guarantee you these glued bindings don't cost as much - and now they seem to have gotten worse.

    what the hell?

    I was WONDERING where all the magazines went... i thought they were being replaced by the bull**** MMA garbage.... but instead the ring just straight up canceled them? wtf? i hope they plan on putting out more mags then cuz ring just isnt enough imo...
