Boxing like all sports exist in the online world now as TV, newspapers and radio are no longer relevant anymore basically in the East and West as all TV has now moved already to online.
Online advertising revenue continues to take all the revenue from TV, newspapers and radio as well and will only do so more and more as the days go on, faster and faster, in the East and in the West.
Because of this seismic shift in the macro media landscape worldwide boxing has emerged as a front runner for the most tech savvy sport in the entire world, with social media, streaming platforms and many other verticals in the digital sphere now huge bidders on attention for the masses.
Boxers often use social media brilliantly in this online revolution happening in recent years and at the moment but they are sometimes flawed and are only people at the end of the day.
Some of them are total garbage like Alycia Baumgardner who we and many never cover anymore nor promote anything to do with her fights.
As sometimes these boxers who attempt to become influencers with all their garbage slang and buzz words and rubbish quote of the day quotation books and thought of the day posts are seen through at this point.
People in America and around the world will tell you the same.
Why Young Boxers Must Be Careful Of Following Other Boxers Or Letting Them Influence Them In Anyway
Others like Teofimo Lopez as well, a good fighter but a garbage human being. His father is a million times better a human being than Teofimo Lopez will ever be. Heck of a trainer.
Shakur Stevenson knows what time it is with Teofimo Lopez and has no problem calling his rubbish out on social media.
Young boxers may see some of these people flaunting these lifestyles online on Instagram and stuff and think, oh, they must be good people and so on, think again sometimes.
The reality behind the scenes is very different often.
Don’t believe everything you see online and don’t let snake oil salesmen get in your ear either.
Look at the details of everything in their contracts and if they are in breach immediately upon delivering any point in the contract straight away, send them packing and terminate them due to breach or other grounds.
In professional boxing there always two people first in the sport.
The fighter and the consumer.
Hearn in the UK has a good saying, actually, the fighters are the bosses of the show and do what they want.
Remember it.
