[PJ.]

Yeah Cung Le.

[Thestatusquo]

am I the only person in the world who isn't a boxing/mma expert jfc

LMAO

is there a problem with putting the fight results in the op of the thread for that very specific fight

And get reported.

[Killthestory]

lol

[TwoInAMillion]

It may not be his last fight, I wouldn't be surprised of Mayweather Pacquaio II. Everyone in boxing is more concerned with making money than an actual good fight.

[Thestatusquo]

god I hope not.

Also this isn't true. It's not even particularly close to being true. It's just that most Americans, especially white Americans, do not watch boxing thus mainstream media does not cover it often. It doesn't get the love year round that even MMA does at this point(some of that has to do with concussion research - which is also slowly but surely taking down American Football - and having an extraordinarily prominent example of the effects of having a prolonged career getting punched in the head). But it not getting the media coverage outside of guys who are stars inside their communities having super fights doesn't mean there are no good fights. Anthony Johnson retired one of the gtrstedt heavyweights of all time in Wladimir Klitschko in April. Andre Ward knocked out Sergey Kovalev in June. There was a double title defense on HBO the same night as the McGregor match(one of which involving a retiring all-time great in Miguel Cotto). Number 1 Cruiserweight in the world and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk is defending his belt against a top 10 opponent in Marco Huck on Saturday as part of the World Boxing Super Series (essentially a who's who of Cruiserweight boxing). GGG vs Canelo is in less than 10 days from this post, and they are the 2 best middleweights in the world. Gilberto Ramirez is defending his title against a top 15 opponent the week after. The WBA, WBC, and IBF super welterweight titles are all being defended ON THE SAME CARD a month from now(which admittedly would be a lot better without some weird boxing politics having prevented Lara vs Andrade being on the card in favor of Lara fighting up-and-comer Terrell Gausha).

Great boxing is happening, mainstream media and most of America just isn't paying attention.

Is boxing perfect? No. Could the matches be better? Certainly. But they aren't that bad as they stand with all-time greats and top ranked champions defending their titles basically every week. All those matches are happening in the heavier weightclasses, I didn't even touch on the lower weight classes.

Edit: honestly man, you've been posting a lot in numerous threads on GD and you honestly seem to have very little idea of what you're talking about in any of the subjects and it's simply exasperating to constantly have to be like "no, you're wrong, I think you should of done a little Google fu before posting this" after basically every post you make, so maybe before you post anything, hit up the Google to make sure you're even in the ballpark.

You forgot Lomachenko.

Your source is bad.

Read Bad Left Hook for good boxing journalism.

[PJ.]

Right, I said Boxing has problems, but it's not the matches, which is basically exactly what that guys thesis statement is. It's not a lack of big name fights. GGG vs Canelo is legit 2 guys who make p4p lists fighting for a prominent title. The issue is the only people that care are mexicans and eastern europeans, despite them advertising non-stop during the McGregor stuff.

Go back to the drawing board, bud.

Glad you googled up and article that agreed with me, tho.

pedit: i wasn't sure on the source either, but I read the first paragraph and was like, I just fucking said this.

[TwoInAMillion]

I never claimed to be a boxing expert just a casual fan. From casual observation it seems boxing game are willing to spend lots of money on fights that have low entertainment value.

[PJ.]

And we are telling you that you are wrong. And for all it's non-competitiveness, MacGregor-Mayweather was actually wildly entertaining for the first half.

[TwoInAMillion]

Well if you think 100.00 for 16 minutes of entertainment is a good deal then I guess we have different opinions on value

yeh

@tiam, nah dude i used a stream didnt pay a cent. i liked it

Imagine paying double or triple this for your favorite team to get blown out in the first inning or the first quarter.

Yeah except mayweather has a boxing style that is purposely non entertaining and takes advantage of the lack of depth in the sport and fans still buy the fights knowing the odds of a good show are poor.

[Killthestory]

but the fight was pretty cool 1st half whats ur point my guy

like it can be applicable to some matches w mayqeather like pacquio but mcgregor was dope 1st half

[TwoInAMillion]

Maybe but not $100.00 cool unless you have 10 friends over.

[Killthestory]

if u cant afford it just watch the back end streams like 3 million (i read this somewhere but cant remember the source) other people did

if ppv is such a problem you can probably find bars near you doing the fights too if youre not down with streams

or a friend

or lots of friends

[PJ.]

GGG and Canelo both showed up. LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!

Get hype for the fight of the year!

[Killthestory]

ooo spicy

[TwoInAMillion]

The bars were charging $25, just to get in, and that's not including any food.

[PJ.]

For canelo? Or mayweather? And buy food before cause bar food ducks and is pricy, you amateur.

[Killthestory]

theres a bar near me thats cheap with good chicken.

also probably mayweather. canelo fight is soon and it'll be coool.
