Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[LauderdaleBoss]

Tyson vs Jones had a lot of circumstantial advantages working in its favor, but I will say that the marketing and promotion was on another level. You had like at least 5 of the boxers on the card constantly promoting it (Tyson, Jones, Paul, Nate, Badou Jack) All those social media clips, training footage, an interviews eventually add up if you keep at it. Especially when they bring their own fan bases.

You hardly ever have a ppv card where more than the A side of the main event is pushing the card. Usually this is because most cards aren't stacked with fights people care about. Tyson/Jones had a mix of everything along with a dope presentation. Put it on the last weekend of a dud month of boxing and here we are.

SNOOP DOGGLAUNCHING PRO BOXING LEAGUEMassive Fight In The Works

Forget Brad Pitt, there's a new "Fight Club" in town -- and this time, it's Snoop Dogg calling the shots!

The rapper has teamed up with Triller co-owner Ryan Kavanaugh to launch a brand new pro boxing league called "The Fight Club" ... and we're told there's already a blockbuster event in the works!

TMZ Sports was talking with Kavanaugh about Snoop's wildly entertaining performance as a commentator at the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight ... when Ryan dropped the bombshell on us.


TMZSports.com
"This was the first event of a league that we have called 'The Fight Club,'" Kavanaugh said.

"It's a league owned by Proxima, which is the parent company to Triller and Snoop, and this was the first of many, many events."

Kavanaugh says Snoop is a co-owner of the league -- plus, he'll be doing fight commentary and helping book the fights and musical acts!

"This is gonna be big," Kavanaugh says ... "The whole idea is we want to change up the way that boxing is done."

The plan is for "The Fight Club" to put on both sanctioned fights and non-sanctioned fights ... basically, like the Mike Tyson card.

Kavanaugh says he's already got a MAJOR sanctioned fight in the works involving some huge stars.

"I can tell you that the main fight — I can't say it yet — but it’s gonna be something that everybody wants to see. If you thought [Tyson vs. Jones Jr.] is big, I think that this would be even larger from a worldwide-appetite perspective and something that people want to see."

Kavanaugh says the undercard will be stacked too -- they're currently looking at social media stars, actors, musicians, athletes and pro boxers to get in on the action.

And of course, SNOOP BACK IN THE ANNOUNCER BOOTH!

like i said before in a conversation about draws in boxing...a real conversation will need to be had about this once numbers are confirmed

Or maybe we should just forget this circus happened and move further
Sorry breh I'm a fan of both Roy and Tyson but this was an exposition targeted at casuals and non-sport fans (the celebrity fight), it'd have done big numbers even if boxing would be bigger than it is now.
This carny, freak show like part, unfortunately, was always present and always will be in combat sports, it's just something that comes with the territory, in other words, comes from the world of combat sports being a shady, decentralized mess when basically anything that gets you money isa go.

I’m saying forget about it because apart of Badou Jack shaking off some rust this wasn’t relevant at all to current pro boxing. It’s just not something I think will have an effect on actual pro boxing, like I don’t think that significantly more or less ppl gonna watch Spence this weekend because Tyson and Jones just fought. One crowd tunes in because it’s actually intetested in the sport, the other crowd is mostly made up of casual viewers either because nostalgia or because they were interested in the celebrity fight. I just view this as a form of entertainment, hardly the competitor of current pro boxing as I think it’s for a very different group of people. It will coexist with pro boxing, always did and that’s ok I’m just not really interested.

Even the organizers didn’t take it serious, why should we? How else you explain Snoop Dogg and Adesanya being commentators next to Leonard who’s terrible at this they went for name value/lolz, not any meaningful boxing discussion and that’s okay for these kind of events, what I’m saying is just they are what they are but a very different thing than pro boxing therefor shouldn’t be compared to it.

Facts, you just can't up and forget about success. We forget about losers. Why you think nobody talked about Chavez Jr last fight.

Tyson/Jones was just one of those events, that you just had to watch at the moment to really get it. They don't understand that by the time the main event happened, everybody already got their boxing fix. Seeing them old nikkas was just the icing on the cake and since nobody got hurt, everybody was satisfied. The show did too many things right, to just act like it didn't happen.

It made me briefly forget about Jacobs and Rosado tho. That's definitely a positive.
