I can´t believe Forbes would publish something like that atsch Hell, every generation so far has produced a bigger star than the previous.
I don't how the boxing is dead **** got started? Look at the t.v. ratings for some of these fights that aired on HBO and NBC !!!
They are **** tbh, relatively speaking. 1-24-2009 HBO - World Championship Boxing - Shane Mosley-Antonio Margarito - 1.9 million live viewers 3-07-2009 HBO - BAD - James Kirkland-Joel Julio - 1.4 million live viewers 4-11-09 HBO World Championship Boxing Paul Williams-Winky Wright 1.5 million live viewers. 6-13-2009 - HBO World Championship Boxing - Cotto vs. Clottey - 1.68 million viewers 9-26-2009 - Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (replay) - 1.343 million viewers 9-26-2009 - Vitali Klitschko vs. Chris Arreola (live) - 2.124 million viewers This year HBO has been stepping up its game big time and so far the ratings are showing it but previous years were miserable. Golovkin-Murray Kovalev-Pascal Matthysse-Provodnikov Klitschko-Jennings Mayweather-Pacquiao Canelo-Kirkland Golovkin-Monroe Jr Cotto-Geale Those are fights people are interested in unlike Broner-Rees and the likes.
Need some quotes from the 80's and 90's to complete having a quote from every decade since the 1800's. Lets look for a sourced quote from the 80's or 90's :good
It's annoying if you pay attention to it, and my advice is to ignore it kirk.. There is nothing that can change the narrative. To be honest I'm content with boxing being a niche sport. If this weekend was an example of mainstream boxing interest, they can keep it.
Besides Ali perhaps. Sport has always had its ups and downs. Things were a bit bleak in 2006, as Oscar was a part time fighter, and the heavyweights were stinking it up.. Sports's in much much better shape now
MMA is really struggling to find anyone who can be a consistent draw or PPV star. Funny these articles never mention that. Just some vague references to how "they're taking over" (what/ I don't know)
