RE: Is Combat Sports Turning Into a Joke?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
On the one hand, they attract a new audience to boxing, but on the other hand, they harm a little because they are taking away the professionalism of this beautiful sport, and that, from my point of view, is not good at all.
I think that if a YouTuber wants to fight a professional boxer, it is not something that is bad, but he should prepare in the best way, try to do it as well as possible and make it look more professional and not something that is funny.
But these fights that are taking place as youtubers are to amass money, many can involve many people because of their fame and that represents a large purse. I don't really like that.

if they were to prepare and are into combat sports I think it is good. But most of the time they are only fighting for exposure and money for thier content. Just in one fight they can make a bunch of video which then were only aimed at getting money but not the sports itself.
the latest event here in my place, it was just a joke fight with two celebrity, and it is only live on the fighter's podcast channel. They even have thier own belt for the fight, which even make more sad.
it shows that what the professional fighter of combat sports who trained hard and want to prove thier skill and recognition through the belt look insanely useless as anyone can make such a belt.
