I was a boxer in my youth and at 34 now I must say that I stay up at nite to watch MMA shows (Strikeforce and UFC) but not boxing anymore...
I really get bored with boxing. Except for Pacquiao/Klitchko boxing becomes boring.
The number of bad decision, the world titles, the numerous weight classes...boxing is a mess. Who can follow it ? who can understand it ? who can still watch a sport with so many wrong decision ?
Have you noticed on how hard is it to have people fighting the best in their categories ?
UFC bring more clarity and better shows to the people. You can easily watch it and enjoy it even if you're not in the game period ! not in boxing anymore...
and the HBO saying : nobody knows the klitchko...yeah great, keep going on ! and in 10 years boxing will be done. continue to have 15 or 18 (I don't remember) weight classes in 4 majors leagues...it becomes ridiculous...
Besides that, boxing gyms are deserted, all the kids want BJJ practice coupled with some Thai Boxing...that's it.
