    You just made this thread 10 pages long but on the brighter side I can print some toilet paper to scrub my tush and be a good armchair psychologist at the same time.

    This has always happened. There just wasn’t social media before.

    You had used most likely wrong website.
    For adults discussions russian websites looks that are more suitable.

    tbh, when GGG was in his prime, his fans on russian forums were like a sect. Now its better, but not as entertaining as here. Users like Shadow1111 are scary doe, he is a real fanatic and his long ass posts with over 9000 excuses are legendary.

    I'm not talking only about boxers in level like GGG etc alike.

    I might reflect some change in fans opinions depending from: opponent is from this country/ city or no.
    One boxer had opponent with notice 2 days and from aboard. He by my opinion had lost 4 rounds from 6 rounder and still had won.
    Small hall show.
    Fight when he had lost all respect was when they had picked for him local kickboxer to fight pro boxing fight.
    A side lad had lost all 6 rounds and after this fight did not had fought more than 12 months. While on paper he had get a draw.
    After this fight his condition did not allowed to have active pro boxing license during 12 months after this beatup. Where he get a draw on cards cos he sold a lot of tickets, his network too.

    This yeah, did not had find appreciation in local level and he had lost more than half from followers in social media after this fight during next 24-32 hours.

    Well, the same Valuev if I remember get harsh critiques in russian forums and euro fighters more realistic evaluation than in english language forums.

    Most likely because he had spanked Clenbuterol Cash Cow Diva even more impressively than 36 y.o uncle in Floyd Jr just to get a draw in Murica.
    Pro boxing is BUSINESS.

    Clenbuterol Diva: fights in states where stacking is not prohibited by law and where he is huge tickets seller.
    Cherry picking: Mosley, Khan, Kovalev fight.
    Jugdes cards: fights vs Floyd Jr and GGG 1 st fight, some other fights a bit too had added this impression.
    Catchweight for title fights.
    Short camps for some opponents.

    I voted no, because there has always been the top fighter pushing terms in negotiations. Social media has made it more known. Nothing new.

    O course because $ is only and alone only thing why they fight.


    Not in general social media per se, more : internet resources to check up vs who will fight A side tickets seller.
    the same boxrec, Fight Fax, fights videos on YT, profiles in am boxing orgs websites might help to check up opponent's quality and possible shape for fight they will attempt to sell us.
    Clauses, catchweight, short notice opponents are special conversation.

    Especially good proof that pro boxing is not sport are catchweights for fights with titles on line.
    If this is title, big or small, please compete in weight class without any additional rules just cos you are Diva on A side.
    It is laughable.

    Agreed! But money talks. Extra $$$ to come in a few pounds under division weight? Hard to pass up.

    Actually,,Canelo runs the divisions from 160 to 175. He can fight who he wants, when he wants and generally under his terms . It sucks

    bash the federations first, the fighters second.
    the fighters and their crew are just milking a broken system.

    He failed two tests that were close together. They tested his hair and he passed.
    To me, the most suspicious thing about the tainted meat excuse is his trainer is a former butcher.

    As far as A side shenanigans goes, it has happened and will continue to happen. I get that, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

    They're accepted now. They were accepted a century ago. Yes, they'll be accepted in the future.
