Ebanie Bridges completely disagrees with Carl Froch’s assessment on the latest installment of Misfits.
Influencer boxing is pretty much loathed by hardcore boxing fans and Carl Froch is no different and after the Prime card on Saturday ‘The Cobra’ launched an attack on KSI and Tommy Fury.
On his Froch On Fighting YouTube channel he said:
“I think this needs to be the end of Misfits Boxing… I hope that’s the last we ever have to see of this Misfits Boxing absolute c**p.”
Well Bridges begs to differ…
Responding to a tweet quoting Froch’s words, she said: “But yet y’all keep watching it, talking about it, promoting it, sharing it, good or bad this will keep it growing and making money…
“I feel like there is a lot more boxing casual fans than purists… and the casuals barely know the difference between good and bad boxing.
“Look at how many people thought McGregor could beat Mayweather…. Like the fact people actually debated that shows purists and traditional boxing fans are the minority.
“NOT TO MENTION these events are PACKED from the first fight.. and it ain’t purists filling those arenas out….u never see that in pro boxing shows, NEVER. So keep whinging and promoting it
.”
She added: “You all complain like influencer boxing IS pro boxing… it’s not lol, it’s a circus and it’s entertainment just like WWE.
“Stop comparing and expecting it to be like pro boxing, that’s like asking MMA to be like pro boxing
. Just let the guys make their money, they ain’t fighting for WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO world titles or taking anyones money…
“They making money cos they are famous in their own right… got nothing to do with boxing skill… people need to chill tf out. It’s embarassing watching the boxing world complain.”
Do you think this kind of influencer entertainment is hurting the sport of boxing?
