I agree. I no longer watch the UFC and with Boxing, I’m down to watching just a few guys; Inoue, Crawford and if the lightweight guys decide to fight someone good over padding their records against scrubs.

I might watch the HWs but don’t find them all that interesting.

Most casuals only watch HW.

The Mexican contingent can always be counted on to keep boxing alive.

There’s just too many options for entertainment these days and peoples attention spans are fried. Even Hollywood seems to be suffering from people being unable to sit down and watch. Somewhere along the line in the early 2010s fight fans no longer could appreciate slower fights. I hope boxing can make a comeback but who knows.

The kids in the US are also lazier and making money playing video games or being influencers. Why would they risk their health doing MMA or Boxing when they can make more on social media?

Tank took things to their logical conclusion with the Jake Paul fight. I can’t blame boxers like Ryan Garcia for wanting to be social media stars instead of risking their lives. At least we’ve got 100+ years of amazing fighters to watch. You wouldn’t believe a guy like Ali existed unless it was on film.

Agreed. Social media has changed the world and it’ll just keep getting more and more advanced as the years pass.

I greatly appreciate your posts. The fact someone would shit on you for posting content in a place that sorely lacks it is odd lol

Yeah, keep doing your thing DY3! This is a boxing thread so anything boxing related is fair game.

I appreciate the content and updates even though I don’t follow as closely as I used to.

This should happen to fighters that deserve it.

If you don’t like DAZN, you’re not a boxing fan. Period.

As for HBO, Showtime, & Fox, things change.

As for ESPN, they’ll be back eventually. They just didn’t want to renew with Top Rank.

Amazon Prime? Their deal with PBC has been a disaster, but that’s the promoter’s fault. I can’t wait for the day that the PBC goes under.

We’ll see about Netflix. They’ve done wonders for Paul & women’s boxing, but we’ll see what they do once Paul’s career is over.

Boxing is far from dead. People have been insisting that boxing is dead since Jack Dempsey retired.
