Why couldn't a good boxer get a 6 fight/year anymore like those boxing legends where they fought 80-100 bouts

Question

lifetime career?

Answer 1

Those d/heads from Health & Safety put a stop to that. Apparently people were getting hurt and even killed. Spoil sports.

Answer 2

It would really be nice to see your favorite fighter at least six times a year, but there are too many safety issues that keep that from happening now days.

Answer 3

$$$ MONEY $$$. it takes time to promote a fight. you have to build the fight to get more fans to buy the ppv or tickets.

-weigh in

-press conference

-tours

-interviews

the longer they wait, the more hype they build.

mayweather fights once a year. either if you can't wait for him to win or lose, it's exciting.

also, when boxers are making millions, they don't want to risk their health. usually, a boxers first 18 fights are fought in about 3 years against bums. the next 18 more challanging fights are fought in about 10 years.

Answer 4

it takes time to do all the math regarding how much each fighter is gonna make, how much the promoters, and so on and so forth. it's all about the money bro. ask any good boxer and he would always tell you he feels underpaid or he's worth more.

Answer 5

They don't make 'em like they used to!

Answer 6

they can do 90 percent want to fight some don't want to they are rich ppv fighters box office  some cant fight as to injury  there are 1000s boxer not that Meany promoters. tv pay the promoters who pays the boxers gate fees alone cant  cover the cost  so they could lose out. so they depend on sky itv hbo   . i have two friends David barns Andy Morris are British camp ions  morris is x champ now. they would fight  every month but cant coues only so Meany shows will happen a year and there a lot of other fighter so they left sports network went with sum other promoter still have to work .its getting better now itv bbc need to sort them self out. Frank Warren is running the show.  now you have U F C . so they promoters are working together putting there best boxers together because  U F C will make money.  a boxer called it a day not long ago this is a ruff guess 146 fights lost 120 he saved so Meany promoters when pulled out he would take the fights at short notice. with these people boxing will good to watch
