TBH that's the fault of the boxing industry
Combat sports have been like this in all their existence, it's nothing new, really. They always contained these carny/freak show/circus acts, some of them like MMA a bit more, boxing a little less. Not to speak WWE which is not really a combat sport but the very definition of what I just wrote down and it has many fans.

So this won't change anything in boxing, everything will go the same as before. Don't think many if any will be ardent boxing followers from now on just because of this event but it's also not like this changed boxing in a negative direction. Stuff like this was always part of this sport and prizefighting in general.

Good points and you're right, I was speaking more to people or the boxing industry being upset at how much buzz this fight got. I've said it before that boxing needs to rethink how it builds an audience, I wish more fighters were proactive in brand building.

I get you but that’s not so easy. The vloggers are content creators, they can build up and maintain a fanbase easier, they can drop a vide every day. Boxers only can fight a few times a year.
But this new generation has social media game. Ryan Garcia and Davis are big in Instagram, Haney kinda that too for a boxer. That doesn’t necessarily translate to viewers though. Ryan Garcia and Tank with their 4m and 1-2 n followers are not even PPV stars (yet?)

I just read somewhere that the Staples Center almost kicked little boob porn queen Emily Willis out for making out with Lena the Plug and twerking? :hhh::hhh::hhh::hhh::hhh::hhh:

:gucci: How is boxing to blame because DAZN dont got enough talent and is so desperate for views that they put some youtubers to headline a card
huh, they have plenty of fighters, this has nothing to do with them not having enough fighters or anything like that. They saw an opportunity to get shytloads of subs at least for this month and they took it. More than likely this earned them lots of money, more than most boxing events this year.

Watching the highlights of the first two rounds right now..Logan is tall..should of kept jab in his face, followed with a side body shot with the right..it would of confused him and backed him up.

So like 20 white boys in my hotel talking bout this fight

I respect both for going 6 hard rounds, and looking decent for being just regular dudes.
