Really not bothered about a load 12-16 year old kids now watching the sport. There’s boxers out there that have trained 10+ years that don’t get even 1% of the platform these none boxers are getting, it’s an absolute joke. Did you see their fight last night?! Absolutely shocking. Also, dying sport?! Not a clue as to what makes you think that.
It’s good for boxing imo. The more young eyes on the product can only be a good thing.
Shame but after last night I make you right.
People enthused by silly celebs having a swing at each other won’t be interested in seeing proper boxers. They are interested in celebrity, not sport
I'd pay good money to see the YouTubers fight proper boxers rather than play at it to earn a few million
Hopefully Joyce will fight Usyk now, so many good fights out their in the Heavyweights but can't see anyone beating a fit Fury.

Couldn’t of put it better.
There’s also a reason that the boxers who have trained 10+ years aren’t getting the same spotlight.
Nobody cares. If Ricky Burns and James Tennyson had a scrap in place of that match absolutely nobody would give a feck.
I also disagree that some who watch just for the freak show fights (which have been going on since boxing started) don’t stick around. The majority most likely won’t but even a small percentage of that audience staying will mean decent business going forward, listening to Eddie Hearn talk about why he promoted the last YouTube boxing fight was a very good listen.
I can’t believe people paid £20 to watch an exhibition. Some are easily pleased 😁

Yes dying sport as they are having to implore tactics of having youtubers on cards in order to make ppv numbers. The ksi fight last year was the biggest selling amateur fight in history. If that's not dying I don't know what is.
That sounds like the opposite of dying tbf.
TiltonblueNo problem. 😁Erm, thanks.
Sorry, but it amazes me how many type it
Super Hans😂That sounds like the opposite of dying tbf.
The fact that two celebrities made more money off one fight and pulled a bigger audience than professionals who have dedicated years to the sport?
That shows the average person does not care about boxing.
