I think that I've fallen out of love with boxing. And I don't know why.
There were some periods for me too when I only kept my eyes on the sport from the distance but never stopped keeping up at least with the more important fights, fighters.
Boxing can be frustrating as fukk though and it probably always will be.
The influencer and other type of circus fights blending into the “real” sport and seeping into everyday boxing discussion with “boxing media” covering it instead of staying within their borders really tested my patience but by now I learned to ignore it.
I’m ambivalent about the sport becoming part of the Saudi sport washing project too. It has been great for the sport so far but it sucks that it’s founded by some of the worst people in the world who just want to cosmetic their international PR. And then I didn’t even talk about the “regular” boxing politics and the uncontrolled greed of promoters and alphabet organizations.
So I get it if you are fed up with all of it, probably no other sport demands as much patience from its fans than boxing.
