Boxing The General Boxing Discussion Thread

[MiguelM]

Does he have any fans in regards to boxing? This is like Mundine where his fights sold because people wanted to see him lose.

No one talks, cares or barely remembers Mundine anymore, I reckon I've seen and heard more of Danny Green since they have both been retired.

Paul is grabbing the money while he can, He has one life left after losing to Fury and he knows it. I doubt he actually cares what people think of him as a boxer.

Agree he has no interest in boxing which is why he picks his targets. Álvarez already gets huge $$$ so nothing to gain in him knocking out Jake. He is in it for the boxing legacy and Jake knows it.

Yeah, fans as in influencer persona (the trappings of instant wealth) IMO. Not boxing fans. He is a promoter of himself that is it.

Good analogy with Mundine. Used to always come out with polarising statements just prior to a fight to get people to pay to see him lose. The hate was real. Now nobody cares what he says. Not that I think he is a bad person but history will judge him that way, big price to pay.

TBH, I would not be shocked if somehow McGreggor ends up being the next circus. He is washed up as a fighter and will be chasing $$$ soon.

Footage in the change rooms before the fight of Lewis and Holyfield visiting Tyson.

Tyson is the youngest of the 3 but in the exchange between the 3 comes across 10 years older.

Lewis very switched on and sharp

Worst I've heard recently was Thomas Hearns , way worse than Tyson was yesterday

And?...People are and were watching to see both lose.

Paul would have had millions of followers before he even stepped into the ring.

Mundine v Green was before Instagram was even born.

Mundine was big for a Aussie but even his biggest PPV only sold couple hundred thousand.. nothing really

Mundine had fans lol, sure people hated him as well, but at the end of the day he probably had more actual fans than Green, he just had more haters. And everyone remembers Mundine, whether for good or bad.

Tyson fans are the stupid casual ones, who thought a 58 year old stood a chance because they casually followed boxing as a teen.

Plenty wrong about Paul, but he did the right thing not knocking Tyson out. He also puts on decent cards. He exposed great fighters like Taylor and Serrano to a larger audience, as well as great up and comer like Shu Shu, and paid them well.

And one life left ...lmfao.

Netflix even started buffering because all the morons started tuning into the stupid fight, not all the good lead up ones.

Paul smart, casuals as annoying as hell.

Was PPV a thing in that era?
I remember it being more a thing sold to pubs etc, and people would go down and watch.
I'm not even sure if Foxtel etc was available to Australians at that time?
Was some pretty big crowds down at the local nonetheless.

PPV was huge for Mundine. He fought his debut on PPV before idiots like No Limit put everything behind a paywall. Think Mundines first fight away from PPV was Tommy Browne

I think every fight of Mundines was on PPV by memory

Cheers, I was just unsure of the timeline. I do remember big crowds in the pubs for Mundine v Green.
Totally agree with the No Limit comment. When The Monster comes close to killing Goodman, I hope that's one step closer to finishing what they are doing to Australian boxing.

Subscription to Fox or a separate fee like No Limit do on top?
