    Default Do you believe that Boxing is dying?


    According to Joe Calzaghe, boxing now is dying.... for some reasons maybe its true....!!!

    Calzaghe: Boxing is dying!
    Despite the fact that the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya fight generated 1.25 million pay-per-view buys, light heavyweight superstar Joe Calzaghe says the sweet science is nearing a ten count. "I think boxing is a dying sport," Calzaghe told PA Sport. "Globally - in America for instance - you've got UFC, which has taken a lot off boxing business-wise. There is too much politics in boxing. Too many belts and too many champions, which dilutes real champions like myself. There are four world champions in each division and it's bad because there are no stars any more. It's a big problem." Calzaghe still has not made a decision as to whether or not he will fight again, but he did say, "I'm glad I'm ending my career and not starting it because I don't think it's going to be that great in the future." The paltry numbers from Calzaghe's self-promoted PPV clash with Roy Jones Jr. may have contributed to Joe's gloomy analysis. That bout generated about 225,000 buys, far below expectations.

    If boxing is dying, why did Pacquiao-dela Hoya garnered 1.2 million PPV buys?
    Sourgraping ra ni si Calzaghe kay 200,000 ra ka PPV ila ni Roy.. hahahaha.. suerte pa gani siya kay naay ni tan aw niya sa iyang ka bati ug style
    Wa siyay uwaw.. after making a lot of money (I read somewhere mga $10million) thru boxing, he critizes the sport imbis nga iyang i promote. inutil gyud
