Are we witnessing the slow death of boxing?

By Scoop Malinowski

Boxing used to be the most admired and awesome sport on the planet – live boxing shows all over the world every week, front page news, Presidents and elites sitting ringside at major fights, champions so amazing and charismatic they transcended sport – but today it has degenerated into a counterfeit illusion of what it once was.

Instead of the best vs the best fights being arranged, it seems everything about the sport is fake and corrupt.

Errol Spence and his puppetmaster Al Haymon just successfully ducked a superfight with Terence Crawford.

Tank Davis and his puppetmaster Al Haymon are currently trying to escape out of the promised superfight vs. Ryan Garcia by demanding control of a rematch terms if Garcia were to beat Davis.

Tyson Fury is supposedly on the verge of signing to fight Oleksandr Usyk next in a heavyweight unification fight but given Fury’s history of lying and faking retirements and ducking Anthony Joshua (twice), until he steps in the ring vs. Usyk, his word can’t be trusted.

Floyd Mayweather is continuing his greed-driven fake sparring session exhibition tour, stealing money from fans and spotlight from the current era of boxers.

Former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua just handpicked an opponent coming off a loss to a guy Dillian Whyte who just got knocked out by Fury.

Fighters today do more talking and discrediting and verbally shaming rivals than actually fighting.

All the while the boxing media accepts this rubbish like it has for over a decade, when the boxing establishment installed the greatest fraud in sports history as the “face” of the sport, Floyd “Yeah but I’m a rich coward” Mayweather.

Boxing has never been at a lower point of honor, prestige and integrity as it is sunk to right now.

Maybe it’s over. Maybe all great things must come to an end. Maybe boxing is fated to become a niche “sport” like harness racing and roller derby.

This year or next, it’s just a matter of time before boxing becomes a fictionalized variation of WWF… unless drastic changes and measures are not taken ASAP.

And if boxing is to survive, the top priority right now has to be the immediate expulsion of Al Haymon and his PBC sham operation., by any means necessary and with extreme malice.
