With boxing you're left watching the up and coming fighters normally handing a beating to some poor sod who is in the ring to earn some cash, this only holds the attention for so long.

In addition for the neutral, fights like Gatti/Mayweather and Hopkins/Taylor do not do much for the sport. The first was a mismatch that if your not a big fan you would call boring, and the second again was boring for the first 8 rounds. If you only watch the sport for the big fights is it any wonder that you're left disattisfied after fights like these.

















Thats a good point because back in the day fighters fought 10-20 some even 30 times a year (i kid you not)
So there really is a lack of exposure to some people,saying that you'd think with the internet and Sky that MORE people would be exposed to it..

I Blame the promoters for there snails pace big fight match-ups..

The BIG BIG fights are way to few and far between and people get bored easily watching mediocre fights.

We wanna see the top fighters fighting each other on a regular basis but Boxing Politics always seems to get in the way >
