Is Boxing Dying?

[jcson]

yes

[startoffbeat]

GGG vs Canelo 2 happening this weekend. Not much promotion going on here because the Pacquiao's name is not on the card. Hopefully no controversy this time around and a winner is declared. I am still disgusted at the way the American fans treated Naomi Osaka and I don't want this fight to have such drama. Bad weather ahead but I will still watch this match.

[MustangEco]

GGG definitely will rip the head of Canelo this coming week.

[Citizen Kane]

Its a trend.

 

Boxing is OUT

E-sports are IN

If Mayweather and Cotto in 07 i think MAYWEATHER get killed

Another post that shows your stupidity.

[will robie]

Binalahura ni Mayweather si Canelo. I would conjecture that is what Mayweather would do to GGG.

Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 : December 2018!!!

[BoyBumbilya27]

Yes because of politics and money matters

[Fmulder9]

Yup..rigged sport

[lee.vince_2]

Actually boxing is not dying, it is not just have enough attention with the main stream media

And yes bets are eligible both foreign and local

[startoffbeat]

Congratulations Andy Ruiz for beating Anthony Joshua. Made him quit with your fast hands and deceptive body. I did not care about you before the fight but you made a fan out of me now. Enjoy the spotlight champ!

Hate being the punching bag for Pacquiao compared to Thurman...😣

 

[Chippy23]

Not too many marketable fighters nowadays

[tom_nismo]

bit by bit boxing will return to its old Glory Days

[diego669]

I agree na wala na gaanong marketable fighters now unlike before. Natatalo na sila ng mma sa marketing ng events plus less ang judges influence sa outcome.

hindi dahil may laban si pacquiao ngayong july pero para sa akin buhay pa rin ang boxing.

A lot of writers and sports personalities call out the death of boxing because it's a nice conversation piece and it's interesting to talk about, but it's not going to happen over night and it won't just fade. I think the format will change, but boxing as a sport still has legs. People still watch it and the sweet science still has people refining it.

Pacquiao is a unique beast in boxing, with a style that no one else has, and has been called the perfect boxer. As long as there are interesting fights and potential for knock outs, people will watch.

[Maj Mujtaba]

I see no one after Manny Pacquiao.

 

No passing of the torch.

 

flame will eventually die.

Tyson Fury made everyone know why he is a champion. If Deontay can win this November then we are looking at Wilder/Fury 2. The heavyweight division has not looked this healthy in years.

[jcson]

Di ko alam kung ano pinapanood nung mga nagsasabing wala na marketable fighters. From the top of my head: Lomachenko, Crawford, Spence Jr. and many more.

Napakakurakot na nga lang ng boxing ngayon. So many controversial decisions with recent fights kaya bihira na rin ako manood.

[startoffbeat]

Canelo Alvarez na ang pinakamalaking pangalan ngayon sa boxing. Iyong isang talo niya is kay Mayweather Jr lang naman and it happened when he was young. Pacquiao trying to stay relevant na lang.

 

Next up Deontay Wilder, if he wins then megafight sila ni Tyson Fury para sa rematch.

 

After that Ruiz v Joshua 2, buhay ang boxing ngayon.

Kinda. Sad, but true.

[ElyongElyong]

yes

Masasabi nating dikit na kasi ang UFC sa boxing eh.

Sa boxing kasi nagsi-tandaan na ang mga tiga-hatak ng fans tulad ni Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather whereas sa UFC nasa peak pa si Jon Jones at si Connor McGreggor,

Tapos boring panuorin ang mga Cruiserweight pa-Heavyweight dagil wala masyadong galawan sa boxing : ang action nasa mga Flyweight to Welterweight (basically kung nasaan si PacMan).

 

And for me idagdag pa yung mga halatadong lutuan sa boxing para sa mga pustahan sa Vegas tulad nung mga laban ni Pacquiao kina TIm Bradley at Jeff Horne.

Basta asahan mo na pag mga promoter eh si Bob Arum at yung dating si Don King.

Lakas makawalang-gana pag lyamado yung fighter tapos dadaanin sa decision cook-off.

 

Sa local naman wala nang fighter na kasing charismatic ni Pacquiao na sinuportahan. Yung Donnie Nyetes sana maganda ang career kaso kulang sa limelight.

[Paratetemol]

yes lalu na nag Pandemic pa
