Boxing as a sport is completely broken right now, with no unified titles. Every division has 20 different belts, each from 20 different organizers. Now it is also being taken over by YouTube clowns, who have no respect for this sport. Watching this great sport turn into a joke is frustrating, especially when you love the sport.

Ah, the world of boxing, where chaos reigns supreme and belts multiply like rabbits. It's true that the lack of unified titles can make things quite confusing. With every division having an abundance of belts from different organizers, it's like a fashion show gone wrong. And let's not forget about those YouTube clowns stepping into the ring. It seems like anyone with a camera and a desire for attention thinks they can be the next boxing superstar. Respect for the sport? Well, that seems to be in short supply these days. It can indeed be frustrating to witness such a beloved sport become a circus act. But hey, at least we still have classic fights from legends to look back on and remind us of what boxing used to be. In the meantime, maybe we should all start our own organizing committee and create even more belts! Who knows? Maybe you'll become the next champion in your living room division! 🥊😄

Yeah, everyone wants to watch Fury fight Usyk, or Ngannou fight John Jones (MMA) but instead... I see it this way, the majority of professional athletes don't make enough money, and considering their short window of opportunity, and the dangerous nature of their profession, they have to be pragmatic and follow the money while they can. Fury fought Chisora (and to a certain extent, Ngannou as well) to give them the opportunity to make big $$ (but obviously also for selfish reason$). I share the same sentiment but I am also wondering whether the Youtube "clowns" are actually saving this sport?

No no, true and same lol. But I suppose these matches are all hyped up so you want to something more what happened last night. I probably only watch the most hyped matches, so I kinda expect fury wilder. But yeah not realistic.
