Even in 2015, the forwards and backwards posturing remains to be frustratingly prevalent within the business.
Boxing is among the oldest sports activities there may be and as such carries loads of historical past, baggage and in some senses, old fashioned methods.
There are lots of unfair and undesirable stereotypes related to the game concerning issues like corruption and fixing, which for my part are completely inaccurate, uneducated and prejudice slurs pointed on the sport in at present’s time of 2015.
I am unable to touch upon how issues had been previously however what I can touch upon is at present’s time and since I obtained began out in boxing journalism over the previous few years.
The game is now run basically by world TV networks, sports activities administration firms and sports activities promotional firms. In 2015, you simply wouldn’t get away with mass corruption in any sport anymore – you would be came upon.
I am not saying that nothing untoward by no means occurs within the sport, that might be naive. However for my part the identical will be mentioned about any skilled sport or any skilled enterprise for that matter.
When cash comes into the equation, there may be all the time going to be unscrupulous people seeking to make a fast buck or take quick cuts.
One factor that I don’t nonetheless exists within the sport at present is boxing politics. On this article I can’t identify any names for the aim of equity, stability and objectivity.
In a time the place the game is de facto flourishing once more and on is effectively on its approach again to mainstream media for quite a lot of causes, together with main TV broadcasters investing within the sport once more and the Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao tremendous combat been made, we’re nonetheless persevering with to see loads of massive fights not getting made – which is very irritating.
A well-known observer inside the sport just lately outlined the trendy day boxing panorama fairly effectively I believed, “It’s annoying that the large fights we wish are those we’re least more likely to see. Welcome to fashionable world of do what you want boxing”. How proper he was.
In at present’s time you continue to have promoters quarreling, that hasn’t change. What they quarrel over has although. Again within the day boxers had been virtually slaves to promoters’ lower than truthful contracts. That is all modified now.
The promoters work for the fighters at present and are extra motivated by cash than ever, resulting from arguably there being much less cash within the enterprise for them in comparison with what they used to have the ability to exploit out of boxers years in the past.
Immediately’s boxing politics are dominated by phrases and arguments like “A facet vs B facet”, “we deliver extra money to the desk then you definitely do”, “Your fighter does not do the numbers on pay per view that ours does”, and so forth.
Skilled boxing has all the time been a cash enterprise, however now extra so than ever for my part. You might be seeing new age promoters and managers coming by in the mean time, within the time of social media and virtually public negotiation.
This has been meshed in with loads of the old-fashioned key gamers’ lower than keen nature to just accept modern-day applied sciences like social media and the web.
Alas, they’ve had no alternative at this stage however typically occasions their egos don’t permit them to interact with promoters and energy gamers within the sport who come from this newer, more energizing, extra clear, expertise drive technology – the place the client (the combat fan) expects a greater product than ever earlier than (one of the best boxers preventing one of the best boxers).
The game of boxing goes by loads of adjustments globally in the mean time. Politics will all the time be there sadly, that is simply human nature in any enterprise.
However with the best way expertise and the web continues to affect the game and certainly all sport, I consider the transparency of those politics will solely proceed to be dropped at the floor an increasing number of within the coming years.
Boxing has no alternative however to alter because of the many different fight sports activities merchandise on the market embracing new applied sciences and extra importantly – placing on one of the best fights.
It’ll although. Boxing has been round for a very long time and for my part, will return to it is glory days earlier than this decade is out.
