Default Is boxing now WWE with idiotic YouTube fights and call outs etc?
After seeing Tommy Fury punch what I can only assume is a drunk bin man in the head to win a “boxing match” in record time, Then old man Fury call out Logan Paul ( who I had to google) to fight Tommy, I wondered if I’d inadvertently travelled back in time to when Paul Bearer used to call out The Undertaker’s possible opponents in WWF(E).

WTF has happened to boxing?!

No they are Odd Fights
like Tonight the Youtuber is young

But he is fighting a Professional former champ
So Easy Win from the Boxer.

YouTube is making big money
Money drives it all.

The uncomfortable truth is that there’s currently more money in amateur boxers with big followings fighting each other than there is in people at the top of their game who are less visible to the public.

And at the end of the day, professional sport is about money.

[The fight drew boos from the crowd at times,
with those in attendance wanting a definitive
finish via knockout, but that level of action never
came and neither man appeared seriously
hurt at any point in the clash.

Paul seemed to share some of the questions
the fans had with how seriously Mayweather
was approaching the battle.]

Even in that clip, Logan Paul is WIDE open on multiple occasions and miraculously avoids getting his teeth rattled.

A very obvious "exhibition".

Yes it looks tacky.



I thought the Ex Champ Professional Boxer Floyd
would knock him out.

I don't think I'll even bother with the replay. I didn't realise it was only going to be an exhibition fight with no winner. People are idiots to pay for that

I never cared about boxing even before it turned into a celebrity game for the world's worst YouTubers. Just a bunch of homoerotic insecurity parading itself under the guise of masculinity and strength, with a weird and seedy amount of money thrown around. Terrible sport.

It’s influencers with huge followings deciding to go through the discipline of boxing camp and making themselves better people as a result. There’s so much worst things they could be doing with their following. Good for them tbh. Go get your money.
