I think that I've fallen out of love with boxing. And I don't know why.

I been there brother. With Hip Hop, basketball, etc.. with boxing I never fell out of love with the sport only the bullshyt politics of fights not being made. I had all but disappeared from this forum until Spence vs Crawford got made. Didn’t know if that fight was ever going to happen. Was so disgusted I stopped fukkin with boxing period.

Boxing has taken its lumps, HBO, SHOWTIME, going away, talks of elimination from Olympics, it’s tough as a fan but we find something to get excited for. DAZN, Prime, ESPN, feeding us. Turki helping out. It’s my favorite sport since I was like 6 years old and I was a hooper. Hopefully you will find that love again. Sometimes you have to step away from something to really appreciate the love you have for it.

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.
