These freak matches are the coming thing in sports entertainment.

Fans are forgetting all about the boxers that make you wait years to watch them fight who they should be fighting. Instead, fans will ship their money to these freak matches.

That's a good point actually.

Allied to social media engagement with the fans and crossover appeal it is a no brainer at the minutes.

That Spence/Crawford 'rivalry' is painful. You kind of feel it is a potential trilogy but neither are keen. Not really.

Spence would rather get knocked out by Canelo seemingly.

Ward is the same height and reach as Eddie, no point getting smashed by a pro HW in Thor´s first fight. - These freak fights might actually help boxing gain some new fans and money.. best case scenario it´s a win-win for everybody.

Agreed. Personally I've gotten sick of following boxing. I'll always love the sport, and will continue to train and be involved in the amateurs, coaching/competing etc, however there's just not enough happening to make it worth being a diehard fan anymore.

Fury v Joshua is the only fight I'm interested in seeing. And they will probably **** about a lot before that even happens. Aside from that, I just don't care. These guys just don't fight each other. Simple as that. The sport is so broken. It baffles me how there's even money left in it. Hardly anyone watches it.

Was ward not the one that's trained him to prep for Eddie?

[REDEEMER]

Didn’t he fight Ward already ? Anyway I’d like to see him vs Shaq O’Neil ,I’d pay for that just to see what happens .

This fight literally cost under 5 dollars . You would have to be In hibernation to think these fights will take over and if they do then boxing will start making better ones with the top guys so who cares.
