JoshVilla Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The problem with boxing is that there's too many organisations that make the whole thing way too convoluted. It's also one of the main reasons why it's so difficult to make the big fights happen, no matter how much the public want to see it. The thing about MMA is that most people would agree that the UFC is the highest level organisation, so if you want to see the top athletes, you watch the UFC. It's much easier for people who are new to the sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepyvillian Posted February 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2023 I'm sick of hearing this bollocks about the Paul fight was good for boxing because it brings more eyes to the sport. The people who follow Paul, likely have the attention span of a gnat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell asleep after the 4th round. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Wonder why Hearn is dragging his feet a bit on Taylor - Cameron for May 20th now that Serrano is out. It’s the obvious fight. A world class fight. I think the plan was to maybe manoeuvre Cameron into more bigger fights over the next year. By proxy, this has come up. Taylor even took to social media to call her out, which she never does. Cracking fight, hope it gets made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several months to come out with that codswallop as bad as somebody having to eat 1095, steaks in a week to achieve the level of drug cheat in their system.
