The Boxing thread

[BlueHammer85]

I’m presuming you didn’t watch the hatton fight earlier.

Nope. But I’m seeing the same negative comments for pretty much every big fight nowadays.

Here’s the usual cliches for tonight’s match

‘This is shit’

‘Boxing is rigged’

‘what a complete farce’

Yeh to be fair BH, the Hatton farce before was an absolute outrage and nobody batted an eyelid.

Cue it's rigged - because it was............

Boxing is rigged though, clear as day.

then why do so many millions watch it. At £25+ a pop.

because the emotional ride, the indignation, the emotional hit. It's storytelling. Kayfabe.

What time is the main event?

Because it’s entertainment. People will be out blowing 150 quid on a night out tonight. 25 quid to mainly watch AJ fight a tough bloke, doesn’t feel silly money for me. Doesn’t stop people questioning really dodgy decisions.

Same reason we pay to watch football?

I simply wouldn’t pay for any sporting event if i thought it was all rigged. But hey ho.
