And the analogy of wanting hard-hitting fights and KO's and wishing for brain injuries is completely insane. You hope for tough fights, and both guys to walk out coherent.
1) So if you don't agree with the price of a product, that gives you the right to steal it? How the fuck does that logically work? If you're not buying the PPVs and you're watching illegal streams, don't act like you're contributing to the sport. You're not contributing fuck all except to the person who owns the streaming site who gets paid for advertising by stealing someone elses' intellectual propery. Pirate and watch streams all you want, but recognize yourself for what you are - a non-contributor.
2. People were disappointed the football was a blow-out, but nobody is going to stop watching football over it. The networks aren't going to suddenly shun both teams because they didn't put on a barn-burning superbowl. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, ect, people will tune in to watch and enjoy the sport. Most boxing fans just want blood. There's a big difference.
3. "And the analogy of wanting hard-hitting fights and KO's and wishing for brain injuries is completely insane. You hope for tough fights, and both guys to walk out coherent."
There's no analogy there. GETTING KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS = BRAIN INJURY. GETTING PUNCHED IN THE HEAD BY ANOTHER MAN SO HARD THAT YOUR BRAIN SLAMS AGAINST THE INSIDE OF YOUR SKULL = BRAIN INJURY. When you are hoping for a big KO, you are hoping for a brain injury. A KO = a concussion. A concussion = a brain injury. It's very simple.
And what happens when shit goes wrong? How many Abdusalamov threads/updates have you seen in the last few months? He went out there, put on an exciting HW brawl, and now he'll be lucky if he can ever have a meaningful interaction with his wife and two daughters again. But that's yesterday's news, nobody cares.
Boxing epitomizes that old song "Nobody Knows you when You're Down and Out". And now fans want to act like they're mistreated or owed something more? Go fuck yourselves, entitled babies.
