Boxing is boring. You wanna watch a fight? Watch some UFC.

As for the topic, can't say I'm surprised. I always thought boxing was rigged.

Please make more coherent threads or the federal police might occur. I don't know about this match: could you provide a link of it for me and co.?
All I know is that Klitschkos are badass, the British boxers have been rude show-offs lately and that the champ Robert Helenius, my man, has just had shoulder surgeries, having to stay out of the competition for a while.
Check the link out.

Yeah it was pretty bad. Boston losing must have affected Pacquiao more than we thought



fix'd

I laughed so hard after reading that. That just made my day.

I do watch UFC also

yesterday made me lose a LOT of respect for pro boxing
never again

I can't say I've ever seen a fixed fight in the UFC or any MMA fight ever. We have seen it numerous times in Boxing. This has just drove me to watch strictly MMA. Boxing is now Dead to me. I wish I could have been around for it's glory days when it was so brutal fighters would die in the ring. This is a disgrace and I hope nobody watches the rematch. Pacman got robbed but I don't even think he cares. And the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight means nothing anymore. It should have happened 3 or 4 years ago anyway. At least Dana and the UFC give us the fights we want to see. I want everybody to join me in not giving Boxing anymore of our hard earned money for PPVs or ringside tickets. I'd rather watch the flying donkeys in lucha libre. Fuck Boxing for screwing over its fans

Straight up thank God I didn't pay for that fight
Boxing is dying and shit like this is just gonna make it die faster

Rematch my ass, nobody should pay for or watch that rematch if they have a dam brain

Crazy, daddio. Also, wrestling is awesome because you know it's just a show (for the most part).

I lost my shit during wrestlemania! The Rock vs Cena was sweeter than the most delectable chocolate!

It's unfortunate that boxing has gone to what it is today but it's always a good hobby if you take it that way. Boxing is mainly about who is the champion rather than who is famous or entertaining. Then again, the championship depends on the referees and how righteous they are.
UFC has got to be the best however. Dana White is the man, you have to respect his doings. Wrestlers have considered to change the acronym WWE to MEH I hear. Only joking, it's fine. To some it's a good thing that WWE is just show, to some it's bad. You can't compare it with boxing well (unless it's about putting up a good show). Currently the future of boxing isn't bright sadly. Just know that this kind of situations are exceptions.
I think that wrestling, UFC and (kick)boxing are all interesting but UFC is the best for being diverse, legitimate and entertaining at the same time. This comes from someone who has tried them all (UFC only unofficially).

Pro wrestling. I can't handle that. WWE, RAW, all of it. All of it is a big sack of shit. Yes. I hate wrestling.

If I had to, I'd rather watch some good boxing or UFC.

Why in Earth does this discussion have to go to wrestling anyway?
Is this the match this thread is supposed to be all about? edit...

BECAUSE...

I love talking about non topic things. Grapes is a good example. You like grapes Zmoke? Be careful on how you answer that.

No I didn't blame you and frankly, I don't have a particular passion towards the WWE (more like indifferent) anyway. Think of it as a precautionary initiative to avoid a boxing vs. WWE flame war (worst case scenario).
Grapes are delicious. They are like healthy candies that don't make your teeth tacky. You'll also feel royal while eating them. The Californian Sun-Maid raisins are edible too. I also go off-topic sometimes so it's OK!

Ah. Good point.

And yes. Grapes are delicious. Kinda wish I had one of those bed chair things and had some "servants" feed me some grapes and fan me with a huge leaf like thing all wearing a bathrobe and some leafy head crown thing like Caeser himself.

DAAAAAAAAMN. Waaaaaay off topic.

I didn't see the fight (too busy watching the Celtics), but read a few articles about it. Definitely sounds like Pacquiao got robbed (worst than the Celtics did). It definitely sounds like its all about the money. One of the article I read said one of Pacquiao's trainers was a scorer for the fight and actually scored against him. Basically because he knows he's going to get more money on the rematch.

Seems like every kind of major event now-a-days is getting fix just for rating and money: boxing, NBA the Miss USA pageant .

Yeah, they're called divans: psychologists use them sometimes too seeing that you're much more calmer when you lie down and it might leave more energy for thinking. Nah... sometimes it happens – and shit happens. No problem. I'm not sure what the OP's intentions with this topic were to start with however: may he choose the fate of this thread instead.

I like firm grapes

HE JOINS THE REBELLION.

There is this sixteen-year-old Spanish girl who makes photography art of herself around e.g. fruits. She's got this album called "Tutti Frutti" which you can view in her deviantArt page. She has become world famous quite recently. Here's the grape artwork. Oh, and boxing gloves! Err... Punches!

Haha look up Pride Fighting Championship and Elite XC, notorious for having fights fixed.

Last night was the biggest robbery ever in the history of boxing. People complained about Pacman winning 2 of the Marquez fights, me being one of them, but those fights were definitely close. Last night however, Pac clearly dominated 11 of those 12 rounds (if you want to be generous, and I mean as generous as possible, you could give Bradley two rounds tops). It didn't make sense at all, but all that did last night was move those last few boxing fans towards MMA. UFC right now is on fire (with the exception of all these injuries plaguing all the upcoming cards), and last night may have just been the nail in the coffin for boxing.

I've actually watched a ton of Pride FC. I loved it. I don't recall seeing any fixed fights. But Pride matches rarely went the distance. And there were some guys pumped up on steroids and some fighter who were just for show but when guys like Fedor, Hunt, CroCop, Barnet, and Noguiera fought it was always entertaining. But you might be right about Elite XC though. I don't recall watching it. Someone needs to make a Facebook page titled I refuse to watch the Pacquiao vs Bradley rematch and see how many likes it gets.

I only watch big boxing matches, but I missed the one you speak of.

Also, UFC is totally crazy. To be clear though, I don't watch any of these things particularly often. Wrestling is off & on and UFC is whenever it pops up on the tube. Always entertaining though.

Boxing. Vicious martial art, but a fucking retarded sport. Jesus. lol.

MMA has seen plenty of fixed fights too though. Coleman/Takada, Murakami/Dixon, both confirmed to not only be fixed but totally worked, like pro wrestling matches. Many other suspected works and fixes though, Kimbo/Thompson being one of the most recent. Takada had a couple that are all but confirmed, Ken Shamrock and Minoru Suzuki have had a couple of suspicious fights, Tarktarov/Marcias from UFC 6 was a work, and the list goes on... Then you have flat out retarded as fuck judging, Cecil Peoples, etc. Nothing's perfect when money is involved, and you have to remember that it's really all just entertainment at the end of the day for promoters and for fans; and for the competitors themselves, it's also how they put food on the table, so you have to consider that sometimes when people are in the hole, money talks and principle walks... That's all sport, really.


The sport of professional Boxing is not going anywhere though. It'll be here for a long time to come, if it ever really goes away. The establishment is too firm, the money is too great, the crooks are too invested, and the fandom is too fierce. Maybe not in middle America quite so much anymore, but it's there, in South America, Russia, Japan, Korea, etc. People still care, a lot, just not maybe the people who post on english speaking internet forums every day. I don't have the data on hand and I can't be assed finding it, but you feel like researching gate sales, PPV sales, television ratings, etc, you'll see what I mean. There's definitely been a downturn for boxing, but it's hardly dying.
