Warrington motivated by hometown support for defense vs. Lopez; Charlo-Tszyu undisputed title fight official; Valdez-Navarrete date, site set; Show and tell
I remember HBO boxing I have a box of DVDs and also VHS tapes of those fights I beleived it would go on forever just as I beleived that Friday NIght Fights, Tuesday Night Fights and so forth would go on forever and the fights we used to get on terrestrail TV would go on forever. Nice memories hanging out with friends and enjoying the fights there was a certain energy in the room waiting for the main event to get there and usually worth the wait I might add.
Back then the way I see it with the PPV events the PPV Events were filling a void that was needed to allow us all to get together and pitch in and have a fight night. Now PPV is corrupted it leaves a fan feeling violated, sorta how you feel after you have been robbed on the street of your pocket money. You know that you will make more, you know you had to hand the money over and yet there is an underlying anger that stays with me after the person got into your pocket money. How many of the fights you mentioned will be PPV events and will go missed by fans of boxing, how many fans have left the sport of boxing due to the greed of it all ? How many potential fans will never become fans due to the greed of so few ? Boxing is a fan sport of the minority now, and then you add to that all the roadblocks that Boxing puts up with PPV and bad behaviour it is surprising that the fight game still exists. But there is something about two men in the ring center respecting one another and sometimes now but still displaying the art of boxing the spirit of a competiton that makes me take notice. Thanks for the reminder dude................
