Do you think fighters fight enough?

[imp]

So much money involved is the reason for these long breaks to build fights.

I wish they all fought more often but even khan is fighting twice a year.

As long as the quality is there and there good fights..thats all we can hope for.

No they don't, let's face some facts we call people great fighters after 20 or so fights, these's day's,
your lucky the Champions fight twice in a year today.! Very poor indeed , money is the downfall and
lots of it, no promoter want there cash cow Champion to lose.

The delays ruin boxing for me, Calzaghe fought 2 a year after the Eubank fight, sometimes 1. Yet in the 2 years leading up to it he fought 10 times. Although I understand the talent got better, but he made light work of most of them.

Hats of to the ever active Pac-Man, declining or not.

how many fights you had tough guy?? ?

I find when people post this kind of question on boxing forums it generally means they weren't inventive enough to think of a real answer but just had to get there 2 cents in.

But here goes.

About 11! None of them boxing matches and none of them for pay.

However if I was making close to what these guys make I'd fight a hell of a lot.

In fact if I was getting £500 per fight I'd try and fight 4 a month. Unfortunately I am not in that position.


Oh seen as you're so interested my record is 7(3)-3-1.

Prick.

fighters are nancy boys and Mary's. little fuck-faced fauck-alls fucking up the screen with fuck left jabs and fuck right leads and fucked-up fuck-ass pieces of shit combinations and no head movement and less than 30 punches thrown per round fuck-fuck.

At the top level it's understandable - Fighters are attached to promoters and promoters are attached to TV companies. There are only so many TV dates available. If you check those fighters from the 70s, you'll see they only fought 2-3 times a year once they became champ, just like the fighters today.

At the other end of the scale I think it's ridiculous.

Using a British example - David Price, James DeGale, Billy Joe Saunders, George Groves etc - these guys have had around 15 fights in 3-4 years.

Chris Eubank jr has fought 9 times this year.

Obviously these cunty promoters wont allow their fighter on anothers bill. But if Eubank jr could be kept so active what holds back these other prospects?

Saunders fought Bradley Pryce this year after nearly 4 years as a pro. Eubank jr fought him in 12 months.

(Sounds like a Eubank jr lovefest but just using him as an example)

1 draw huh?

I don't think they fight enough and I would probably do the same thing. They don't because they don't need to.
Would you give up time with your family, relatives, friends, charitable organizations and I don't know what all just to make a bunch of vampire like dudes, huddled around TVs, drinking and smoking happy?
