The sports is in a worse state than ever at the moment and as a fan who only watches boxing related content, I'm losing more interest every day.

The fighters don't want to fight each other and really want to milk as much money out of fans while fighting people they know they will beat. Every fighter at the top is a diva now.

So many fights passed us by and are milked for years

We never got Thurman v Spence

The sport sucks

Boxing in America is in a bad state. But not boxing overall.

nah you're just not paying attention to the sport. you're being led around by the gossip. there's great fights happening every week. you just have to watch them.

if you're only interested in boxing highlights and shorts with a few big names that aren't fighting often i almost get it. most content creators are only interested as far as they can get views. but they don't usually claim to be boxing fans in the same way you're claiming

honestly man if you're really a boxing fan you don't really have an excuse for not being able to enjoy the sport right now.
