Problems with boxing

1. Too many divisions
2. Too many belts
3. Incompetent judges and ref's
4. Incompetent exec's running HBO
5. HBO's favoritism with Golden Boy
6. Sanctioning bodies
7. Ancient promoters who need to retire
8. Good fighters being avoided
9. Horrible amateur system
10. Ignorant fickle fans

And I could list many more.

Short of a full out boycott, what can we expect fight fans to do?

100% of boxing's promblems begin and end with the sanctioning bodies and promoters. The sport is so crooked and broken.

Keep making fun of straps, keep urging HBO etc to stop talking about them. Don't watch bad PPV's.

Too much talking right now in boxing, and not enough fighting. And then in the rare occasion guys do get into the ring with each other, both guys fight cautious, and nobody has a killer instinct.

I'm so mad at my favorite sport right now it's not even funny....

But even THAT happens because fans DEFEND fighters for NOT fighting. It is astounding.

You are where I was 2-3 years ago. Hang in there. Something wonderful will happen. Until then keep repeating "Super Six, Super Six"

We just need a good fight. We need to watch Pac or Maidana fight someone. They are always fun.

Isn't John McCain trying to get a bill passed in congress to help boxing ?

He tried that like 10 years ago. I didnt know he was trying it again.

People aren't watching bad PPVs.

Short answer - If boxing was ran like the UFC, Mayweather vs Pacman would have happened over a year ago and generated 2.5 million buys.

If they were with the same organization. One would probably be in the SF and the other in UFC. Like I said what is the difference? MMA has some of the same problems.

UFC=Arum and SF=GBP. They are the same.

Not as bad of a case though. SF only has a handful of fighters good enough to make noise in the UFC. GBP has a ton of good fighters.
