Watching that fight and expecting other than some mid you played yourself
This
I didn’t watch the fight. No way I am going to watch a legend lose on TV to boost Jake Pauls ego
Boxing and MMA been going through a rough patch . I think its mostly because right now the characters people like to follow are missing. We need another prime Tyson or McGregor type fighter
Idk man all combat sports are
Walking CTE
football is peak
its not a combat sport but still the same amount of cte
I just think in general watching people beat eachother to a pulp is played out but maybe I was just never Into it much in the first place
Bloodsport used to be way more exciting

McGregor prime was insane. Rhonda Rousey was cringe in her prime but I'll never forget that Holly Holm fight
IDubbz hosted 2 boxing events, spent millions, and made himself the main card both times. Got whooped in both.
There’s plenty of decent boxers still out there: Usyk, Alvarez, Wardley, Dubois, Parker Ramirez and more across weight divisions. The Serrano fight before that s*** show was also good last night. Aside from the refs scoring as Serrano should have won but refs have been bent in boxing forever so that’s nothing new. The problem is people in this generation hyping up and giving play to these talentless YouTube grifters like the Pauls and KSI, literally famous for pissing about.
This is exactly my thoughts as well
y’all remember 20 years ago when boxing used to be exciting? The sport has became a meme in the digital age, i remember being a kid hyped af to watch a mayweather fight on PPV
HBO boxing used to be so goated, s*** even showtime boxing was good at times
never would’ve thought that in 2024, imma be watching a youtuber fight an elder mike tyson
It’s actually the opposite because his excellency isn’t treating boxing like a business and he is match making like a fan, may Allah be pleased with him. That’s why we are getting all these amazing fights like Usyk Vs Fury, Joshua Vs Dubois type s***

Embrace the Gimmick fights and use them to line your pockets. It was obvious they were going the distance and it was paying x2.7
boxing fell off over a decade ago
Boxing had a come back after the mayweather manny and mayweather mcgregor fight then a huge boost after the wilder Fury fights. Tf you talking about
Yeah it’s a huge joke nowadays. Folding influencers into the sports has been a huge disservice. The big fighters aren’t any better anyways, a lot of them feel like they rather be celebrities

The serrano and Katie Taylor fight was great. The fact you can’t appreciate them ladies putting on a show and securing the bag and instead focus on the gimmick main event just makes you a casual. Jake Paul aint what’s wrong with the sport
I do not follow as thorough but I'll admit boxind and mma are very popular now amongst youth compared to ma teenage days
In terms of exposure it's doing a pretty great job
celebrity boxing has been a thing since the early 2000's, or even earlier if you count muhammad ali's exhibition fights with a f***ing pro wrestler/mma fighter, nfl player and nhl player in the 70's and 80's. boxing is a relatively easy skill to teach to a beginner and you don't need years of training to understand two people punching each other, which makes it perfect for setting up an event where two already famous people fight
i'm not even a big boxing fan but people acting like this influencer s*** is new when celebs have been using the sport for an easy payday for literally decades is so funny
