>>11986725Actual boxing fan here.
Boxing has been an anti-draw since the ABC governing commissions started making up belts and weightclasses to project the promoter's favorite jabronis.
No unified heavyweight champ since 2009, Tyson Fury is a retarded gypsy who is afraid to fight Usyk for some reason (he'd win), and the rest of the heavyweight division's top contenders are lazy pieces of shit that don't fight
>Ruiz hasn't fought this year>neither has Wilder>guys with legit talent like Zhang and Jones have nobody to fucking fight because none of the top guys will accept fights with themCelebrity boxing has unironically raised the profile of the sport which tells you how dire things have been for boxing.
It's just a bunch of rich ass retards ruining the long-term prospects of the sport for short-term gains, same old story.
>>11986763>They do huge gates and attendanceWhenever there's a super fight maybe? So like one fight every 2-3 years at best?
The e-celeb fights draw better on PPV than live attendance. Paul/Danis wasn't sold out, etc.
Boxing used to be the most popular sport in the world BY FAR, jannettying the hell out of everything, even baseball which was way more popular in the US than it is today.
Shame what we've let rich greedy faggots do to it.
Boxing unironically needs government oversight or some shit to get rid of all the flab and return the relevance of lineal world titles.
