Boxing

I’m not justifying anything, it’s a farce and people tuned in for the freak show aspect of it.

It should never have happened.
People tuned in en mass because its a bigger draw then 99% of anything boxing can offer despite being a total farce. It just proves that the majority of the audience don't really watch boxing to see a legit sport. They'd rather see a sopaopera.

I was thinking the other day if Jake Paul is actually smarter than he is being credited.
It’s almost like he’s developing a Boxing version of WWE.
Maybe that’s actually his plan, start it off with semi legit ‘fights’ and over time as the audience develops make it more of a soap opera with (staged) violence.
That farce this morning, it looked he could have quite easily battered Tyson and was clearly taking it a bit easy.
Tyson looked every bit of his 58 years on the ring walk an was hobbling back to his corner after the first round.

The Paul bros are very smart (or at least their people are). They know exactly what they're doing and tbh, fair play to them, because as much as people might hate it, its working.
 

They can make a lot more money from casuals with stuff like this than by matching up 2 heavyweights in a bout that’s pretty much going to cost one of them their career and their promoter a lot of future income. It’s just the way it’s going to go.

I used to love boxing but I don’t watch it at all now and if I’m honest all this has just convinced me that it’s always all been rigged anyway.
 
Watched the Taylor Serrano fight back, can't see how they could say the head clash was deliberate, it looked more like a clash that unfortunately happens when the 2 fighters are coming forward at the same time.

Serrano is a warrior but Katie is the better boxer, thought her work was cleaner and landed a lot of quality punches. The scoring in these fights is always open for criticism but I thought it was a very close fight and a draw wouldn't have been unjust.

The commentary was a disgrace, so biased towards Serrano and it does influence opinions when watching at home
 

Boxing is finished

There is still class like Usyk and Canelo around, but the sport is ruined.

Anybody who was enough of a prick to pay for this glorified white collar match deserves everything they got.
Wouldn't say it's ruined, been some great events & fights over recent years

Especially in the heavyweight division because the Saudi money has caused ranked fighters to fight each other more often

I don’t hate them two, I hate Tyson for accepting the payday over integrity. As I said above he surely can’t be broke can he? Why isn’t he getting that Saudi cash if he is broke and has no morals
 
“Boxing is finished”

The wheel turns, the sport moves on. As has been the case for the last decade
It didn't keep up with the money and prestige. When it got carved up by the broadcasting companies it made a bad situation worse. The debacle around olympic boxing is also another travesty. And dope, lots of dope. It's in all sports but you aint chancing death if you finish last in a bicycle race. And the steady rise of rolling around on the floor mma bullspit*.
