But we knew this would happen. Lots of negative trends are taking over our precious sport.
- PPV is slowly taking over all the fights, much like a boa constrictor swallowing a whole pig
- A lot more jawing and a lot less fighting now. I'm so tired of Crawford saying he's the "real" p4p... and Spence reciting how he's gonna rough him up. FFS... just fight already!!
- In this age of instant gratification, all you need is a pretty face, an Instagram account, one good fight, and a catchy (albeit unfitting) nickname. You got those things... you're set.
- YouTubers are getting in on the action. The million$ are flying around... so why not? Casuals will pay for whatever shit they throw up there on TV, even if it's a circus act.
This is on top of the old, existing problems with the worthless belts (and new ones being churned out by the Mafia of boxing, the WBC)... persistent shitty judging of fights and no one doing a damn thing about it... blah, blah, blah.
On the consumer side, they've got us groveling fans, hungry for boxing and grateful for whatever scraps they throw our way. They abuse us with more and more PPV, waiting eons for fights to develop, and thumbing their nose at all our complaints.
Hell... if there was such a thing as unions for fans... I'd say let's form one.![]()
