WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A REAL FIGHTER? WHATS WRONG WITH BOXING?
What’s wrong with boxing? Business has to be separated from tradition to save boxing, or it will suffer a slow death. When Conner McGregor, Machinegun Kelly and Megan Fox command attention in a sport that demands blood sweat and tears, something is wrong. All kids are seeing is the fight night hoopla.

His boxing match with Conner McGregor was the beginning of the end of boxing according to Greg. He calls UFC popcorn (slang for Pop culture) and boxing is not far behind. Casual boxing fans who didn’t have a big voice years ago are yelling loudly these days. Fighters of the 80’s and 90′ are still competing at a championship level with Manny Pacquiao as the solid evidence of the superiority of past fighters being superior to current fighters according to Greg. Boxing needs a savior like a Muhammad Ali.
