The very fact a celebrity youtuber fight inspired you to post yet you couldn't be bothered with the recent absolute classics - Inoue-Donaire, Spence-Porter and Taylor-Prograis, plus Beterbiev-Gvozdyk and Canelo-Kovalev just shows how massive these circus events are and why boxing continues to flourish.
Now I watched literally 30 seconds of this clown show, and I completely disagree with you.
I knew you would roll out the old “great for the profile of boxing” and “boxing is a business” chestnuts and I have to say it’s complete bollocks!
Two piss poor fighters supposedly fighting “Professsionally” on debut , ppv in Vegas or wherever it was, makes a complete mockery and piss take of the Sport.
It’s not good for the sport to let every YouTube watcher believe that they could be a pro boxer. Boxing is no fucking joke .
You’ve got up and coming Boxers that make massive sacrifices and are selling tickets an hour before they’re due in the ring just to earn a crust.
And they see these fucking clowns with 10% of their talent and dedication earning fortunes.
I don’t blame the guys who got in the ring (I can’t bring myself to call them Boxers.)
I blame the authorities for selling the sport on the cheap for sanctioning the fight, and every fucking mug who paid more than 10 pence to watch this.
And don’t get me started on A World Champion fighting on the undercard. Shows how seriously BJS Takes his career and what his priorities are.
Ps to the Mods. Can this please be taken off the Boxing forum now?
