No controlling authorities, and the paychecks for the best vs the up and coming. Imagine if someone starts a Consolidate Boxing Enterprise, and builds a way for training fighters, managing fighters, and promoting them? Like MMA?
I agree with that.
Football is already PPV. I have antenna and streaming FREE, except for Paramount plus and Amazon. Amazon is about to be dropped, as it serves little purpose.
Roller Derby too. The ladies were more fun to watch.
True. When there are any football games that I am interested in, I avoid sports news and wait until the condensed version is up on YouTube. Takes about 45 minutes with all of the non-action removed.
if you add up all the time between the starting and ending whistle for each play, total actual playtime is about 11-15 minutes ...
PPV and now streaming, which is Premium Pay, is killing boxing. In the UK, the BBC now has a boxing deal.
Premium Pay is destroying television as a whole, and people are not willing to see that.
