BOXING trying the patience of its fans

[MMASUX]

Two bad PPV's in a row doesn't ruin boxing for me, or for most of you guys im assuming. It ruins it for the casual fan, and new fans that boxing is trying to gain. It gives the casual fans and the MMA fans something to poke fun at. We as hardcore fans know we always seem to see great fights on FNF, SHobox, and BAD etc. How many great fights did we see on FNF that no one outside the true boxing fans seen? For every bad PPV, there always seems to be great fights on the networks, but they don't get the recognition because the names are not there.

Yep all the fights we got over the weekend were pretty effin awesome, especially linares demarco and cleverly bellew, if every weekend had this much good boxing on id be one happy dude. Just sucks that none of those fights are talked about by mainstream media instead if they mention boxing at all it will be how the main event is a fiasco and how boxing is "dead" and if the pti guys on espn are to be believed there hasn't been a good boxing match since the early 90's...lol

That Donaire-Narvaez fight was a waste of time.

Certainly, a lot of the blame goes to Narvaez. He was there to last 12 rounds and get a career-high paycheck. That's his right to fight conservatively and not try to win, but it's also the paying customers' right to boo the shit out of him.

However, it's also HBO's fault. When you agree to broadcast a fight where one guy is a 20-1 favorite, you can't act surprised when the fight sucks.

I think the NY crowd was relatively kind to him, TBH. I would've been a bit meaner.
