would you agree with the statement that

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

There is an old saying that boxing is only as popular/good as its heavyweight champion and let's be honest wlad may be consistent by he is never going to reach out to the non-boxing public watching him fight is to dull

I like this comment. Although obviously it may not appear to be true in retrosoect.

I think the promoters inability to make and promote fights/ fighters has been on a decline for many decades now. There's no myth in fighters now.
I one read a historical account of boxing from the 19th century onwards and the stuff these promoters and their fighters got up to was amaizing.

Maybe TV networks are to blame in more ways than one?

Plus there are so many ways to spoil a good fight, spoil a fighter etc it's too easy to loose interest.
