The Boxing thread

[jimharri]

The cult of celebrity has a lot to answer for. I have no idea what sort of videos the Paul brothers make, and I have no intention of starting. Just the mere sight of them puts me on edge.

The Boxing Gym that myself and my son go to, Honestly there is lads in that gym that would beat the pair of them twats last night.

Truly awful fight. No words can describe how bad it was.

All in all I won a small fortune last night, Easy money.

Its not really boxing anymore is it. Long gone are the days I will look forward to a fight and there's no chance I'm ponying up money for this youtube celebrity exhibition shite.

It was pretty shit, I watched it in Russian and Buffer goes Давайте приготовимся к грохоту!!! But there was no rumble, you know even when you have a dodgy stream you can still make out what the foreigner is saying?.. korner! Pas, gol gol gol gol! Mahrez, etc well last night all I kept hearing was 'clinch' 'paul' clinch' 'fureeeee' 'clinch'

They know it's a joke but the sport is dying and the youtubers/reality tv stars have money and millions of fans so they look past it.

Tbf think the sport is dying anyway even without youtubers if they still had put on great fights often boxing wouldn't even acknowledge this youtubers even for the PPV they would make but they need to extra eyes and cash right now

If people are fucking stupid enough to pay to watch that shit more fool them. Both of them are just making money from reality tv or you tube fans who don’t give a flying fuck about the art of boxing. Who can blame them as neither of these would do anything against world class opponents and the hype before this bout was ridiculous considering their quality

To be fair mate I think Tommy wants to be legitimate I mean his old man was a bare knuckle boxer and his brother is one of the best to ever lace up in the heavyweight division. The problem is he is just a bit shit

Spet isn't dying but we defo in a period of low quality

There have been some good fights not on box office the last few week- Beterbiev, Lara. It would be good to get some of these back on ITV.

Defo mate he is in the shadow of Tyson who many will say is the best of his generation and he will never achieve what he has,but he is making a healthy living out of it so who are we to argue?

Which to be fair to him is why he's making sound business decisions, he's made more from that fight than most world title fights.

Not great for his career or the sport of boxing but it makes sense financially for him.

Jake Paul is the best that influencer world has got and he barely laid a glove on him and there are many influencers wanting a shot at Fury. It's silly to say no given the figures involved.

How did we get to this sht. Best influencer out there! They both would struggle against any boxer ranked 150 and below. AND there aint that many active pros at their weight. Its pretty embarrassing people paying to watch a circus act.
