Reading comprehension, hypocrite? I said threads AND posts.

This is from just hours ago. ^

That makes you a liar. Add that to 'hypocrite.'

 

Marquez vs Diaz fight of the year?

Dude its only March.

 

Boxing starts off the year with a bunch of non PPV cards and awesome match ups and we still get these losers bitching about things.

People ***** how PPV is what hurt Boxing yet the UFC is mostly PPV, they have had 3 PPV's already this year while HBO has had none, people will continue to ***** no matter what. Boxing is doing better then ever IMO, this year the rising stars will emerge and boxing will never die no matter what.

If you don't care for boxing anymore it's time to go to sherdog and quit bitching about trivial things on here.

 

Exactly. I don't know how many threads I've read or how many times I've heard "boxing is dying" throughout the years. Boxing is far from dead. Sure, you might have a few bumps along the way, but that's not unexpected though.

 

The UFC card was really weak for a $45 PPV (in North America), anything with Keith Jardine in the main event should not be on PPV. From top to bottom the card was lackluster but UFC fans will buy it because all they care about are quick KOs, which they get in spades because of really poor stand up skills.

The HBO card looked good on paper and was free, maybe it didn't deliver but you can't blame HBO for poor matchmaking when they were trying to put on competitive fights for their rising stars.

Every time something goes bad in boxing we get douchebags like you moaning about how the sport is dying. How do you figure that Marquez vs Diaz was only seen by boxing fans? Its reported that it did a little under the Margarito-Mosley audience, so somewhere around 2 million tuned in. A few years ago that fight would have been on a PPV with a 200k buy rate, and name a better MMA fight in recent memory compared with that. I like MMA but most of the "great" fights are one sided beatdowns ending in first round KOs.

 

this again?

 

After one mediocre event this year, we get threads like boxing is dying despite how great this year started. That's what people have been saying all of the time since pro wrestling came around.

 

Yupzzz.... I read a recent article in the Ring Mag (well a few months ago, tbh) and it showed the "Ohhhhh...Boxing is Dying" debates for each decade from the 50's and 60's to today. Each decade was sure it would be the last. But here we are, coming up fast on 2010, and I'm excited as fuggg to be a fan of Boxing.:yep

 

Amen! :good

 

Thank you.

Sorry for being harsh, but **** UFC.

 

Exactly... watching two dudes spoon each other for 15 minutes is not my idea of exciting.

Boxing has and always will be exciting.

Dry humping being passed along as "fighting" will never, ever be fun.

 

boxing will not die, because there are still several ppl following the sport, not just in the usa and uk but around the world.. it's a global sport.... don't expect your girlfriend to know who the boxing superstars are. ask somebody else

 

I think he is right in a way, the big names are no longer as known as they were of the past, but it is true that boxing will keep producing home grown stars for people of that particular country to follow. I think alot of this has to do with the poor heavyweight division, in the past the only division to watch for non boxing fans. As for UFC.....i rest my case.

 

Amen. I've been following boxing for over 30 years, and they've been saying it's been "dying" almost since I can remember. As soon as Ali retired, they all came out of the woodwork. But if you read the editorials in the 60s, and even the 70s in some boxing mags - which we think of as glory years for boxing - you would be shocked at some of the statements you see. I remember reading some editorial talking about how "weak" the HW division was in the middle of the Ali-Frazier era!!
