Youtubers "Boxing" Circus General Sport

[Bandit]

I refuse to put this in the proper boxing thread.

Did anyone see that farce last night with Logan Paul and KSI?

That Danis and Paul fight was boring as fuck, only real entertainment was when Danis gave up and tried an MMA move and all the security went in for some shoving match.

KSI v Fury - both shite but apparently Fury is a professional. Stick to Love Island, Tommy.

The only decent fight last night was Deen The Great v Walid Sharks. Shite names but at least those two were going at it and not constantly hugging or stopping.

Why would anyone pay for this crap. Its not even entertainment.

Didn't watch it, no intention of ever watching this type of WWE fixed up YouTube boxing events.

 

[Boot Cleaner]

These "influencer" events always make a mockery of the sport.

How is Tommy Fury a professional boxer

He just about lost that (some think he did), gets lucky from the judges, and then celebrates like that against a YouTuber. Embarrassing.

Got to stop this rubbish. It is a joke and a bad one at that. Eventually someone will get seriously hurt.

Carl Froch summed it up.....

I'm convinced that it's as staged as wrestling this. They can make an absolute fortune through hyping up some rivalry, but in truth they're telling each other not to punch too hard and miss the face. Tommy needs to win, but is happy for it to be tight and controversial, a re-match suits all as another way to make money and they're just sat there laughing that they're making millions from doing nothing at all.

I don't think Tommy is particularly good but from what I've seen of him he should have absolutely spangled KSI in less than a round. He looked much better against Jake Paul who actually has a bit of talent and experience.

Feel like I lose IQ points discussing these 'fights', as mentioned, its all very WWE.

He's definitely a level above these guys, he's boxed for much longer. But ultimately when a route opens that means you can avoid brain damage and earn a lot more, you take it! Got nothing against them taking that option. He's not going to win a world title, so why earn peanuts getting battered?

Former WBC World Champion Tony Bellew sent a message of support to KSI following his controversial loss to Tommy Fury.

"I've spoken to him, JJ is a lovely kid, the kid works hard. It's funny how we don't have outrage when celebrities wanna play a game of football.

"Why are we absolutely raging when celebrities want to have a boxing match? These journalists or even boxers coming out and saying, 'It's a disgrace.' Why is it a disgrace? They're not taking money off your table.

"It's insane people's rage towards them, I just don't get it at all. Fair play to them."

" Do you know how many kids they are attracting to boxing gyms? I give them so much credit for that".

An interesting take by Bellew on influencer boxing.
