The Ring Magazine - who still buys it ??

Yeah but no other organization keeps track of the lineal/legitimate champions. So if nothing else, boxing needs them for that.

I used to get it every month but now that has gone up to almost 9.00 dollars I might get it twice a year. Anything I need I can read it on the internet now anyways. The state of the game is 1 of my favorite issues and when the Ring Almanac comes out I'll read that.

I buy it occassionally, it does get quite dated, however, that is offset by the fact that the writing in the magazine is generally of a higher standard than that online (Dougie Fischer-don't get me started). I don't believe in any way that they've sold out to Golden Boy though. Their ratings divisionally seem pretty good, although I do think the P4P list at times gets a bit illogical & based on popularity (Nonito Donaire in 7th)

Point taken

No doubt.Prior to that twat Katrina....I had monthly issues from 89' and on.After it I had sixteen years worth of water logged printed pulp sitting at the storage unit.....just could not throw them away

But Hey.I saved the tapes.Fortunately they still sell key back issues.Nothing will ever beat Boxing Illustrated though. loved that read.Prior to the "Internets" ha,they were a MUST to know what was going on.

When I worked at a grocery store I used to grab it for my lunch break, spill all kinds of condiments and drinks on it and then put it back on the shelf. Not sure if that counts.

I buy my newspapers at Borders books which is around the corner from my house and about half the time they have The Ring and I'll buy it. Funny I think I have one that's supposed to be for August and I bought it in June. They are weird. The layout and sections are outdated imo. I think they shouldn't dedicate 20 pages every magazine forecasting fights that will have already happened by the time people get their issues. It isn't a bad read but it could be a whole lot better.
