The Boxers keeping the sport alive

Are you trolling or how the hell are you going to not mention Pacquiao and mention those other 2 first? Another hating ***** exposed

 

ggg , whilst a good fighter no one outside of serious boxing fans knows of him

 

Pacquaio's contribution to keeping it alive is obviously greater Floyds still as Pacquiao's 4 year run of fights was more entertaining to watch, however the Canelo fight helped a lot. Maybe before Floyd retires he'll have more like that

 

agree also with pac man needing to be on that list

 

Take out De La Hoya & Alvarez, what was his ppvs before that?

 

Wladimir Klitscko, David haye, Tyson fury, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Benard hopkins, Juan manuel marquez, Andre ward there are soo many guys that are good for the sport.

 

What a piece of **** you turned out to be.

 

Klitchkos, hate, Tyson fury, pacquiao, Mayweather, cotto, Canelo, Ortiz and JMM

 

Take floyd out what was Canelo and oscar ppv before and after that....

Floyd is a ****ing superstar and the biggest name in the sport
Name any other fighter pac can fight to get 2 million views?
Floyd fought 2 other than pac and got 2 mill
Pac got his chance with Oscar and did less than floyd!!!
I promise if Rios beats pac and floyd fights Rios it might sell 2 million!
Marquez that beat pac and floyd rite now might sell 2 million
Stop hating
floyd v cotto ,hatton,mosley,marquez,ortiz all sold over a mill

 

I'm not really a Floyd fan, but it's hard to deny he has the greatest crossover appeal of any boxer alive. There is a problem with Floyd though in that he helped sustain an atmosphere in the sport where one 'superstar' generates a hugely disproportionate amount of both revenue and wider public interest in boxing. What's gonna happen when Floyd retires?

I guess the networks will create another 'superstar' again, instead of trying to promote the sport as a whole. I understand the business rationale, but dislike how the whole sport seems to be so focused on one or two 'annointed' fighters.

And (bizarrely given the inclusion of Shiming on his list), the TS seems to make the mistake of assuming that US boxing is all boxing. The sport is becoming ever more globalised, and with the growing interest in the potentially vast east Asian market, this trend is accelerating.

There is already a thriving Japanese scene, has always been a European scene which has expanded vastly with the addition of the Eastern European states, and a vibrant and growing African scene, all of which would continue to flourish even if boxing were suddenly banned in the US. Boxing ain't dying, or even close. The only thing we would lose without the 'celebrity fighters' we have become used to is the need to pay for massively overpriced PPVs.

 

I would love to see more guys like Gabriel Rosado. ''Good boy'' fights anyone. He took the fight against Golovkin when he had a choice to go easier way with K9 fight. And in my opinion he would have KTFO K9 (and be a champ) but he wanted to challenge himself even more harder.

Respect.

 

boxing is alive and full effect always for me so idc.

floyd and manny had boxing world buzzing when they were both during there thing and the fight didnt happened really turned people off and away from the sport
