TNA No Surrender 2024 - FRIDAY, February 23 - Live from New Orleans - Live on TNA+

[Comrade Khan]

I feel in a lot of ways, real combat sports are less enjoyable to watch so no idea why

No TV shows , it's just a one off . Also , bars buy them.

I think TNA in their peak was doing 60-70K but that was a short period. Average was around 40K.

That was considered bad at the time, but it paid the bills until Dixie killed their PPV schedule and killed its only source of revenue.

Today if TNA can get to 20-30K, they’d be doing well.

 

[Comrade Khan]

So ya those sports do big #s but they don't have other TV revenue streams like wrestling.

Wrestling I weekly then u pay extra for the monthly big event. So less FOMO and less exclusive .

Don't get me wrong I think k boxing sucks n is boring too I don't get it as a viewer lol

 

[Smart Marx]

That

1. Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia- 1,200,000 PPV Buy​

That's this year. Jake Paul had a 800k buy fight too this year

tracks. Boxing makes ridiculous money. That’s why influencer guys like Logan Paul make bank at these sideshow fights.

 

[Smart Marx]

Boxing is boring. Though, I’d probably watch that over MMA a little bit. MMA puts me to sleep.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I don't think I have ever met anyone my age or younger who likes or watches boxing, except for the one singular example of a guy I used to work with...who was an amateur boxer lol

 

[Smart Marx]

I don’t think anyone watches regular boxing, but I know a lot of gen z that couldn’t get enough of the influencer fights. Like that one recently with Paul where the other guys kept slut shamming Paul’s fiancé Nina Agdal. That was number 1 Twitter stuff for like a month lmao

Boxing is fucking trash lol. "Punch a guy hard in the head until he falls down" with no nuance, it can just happen whenever and usually not at all

 

[Smart Marx]

I don’t think No Surrender has a card yet so not much to discuss anyways.

yeah I consider that stuff fake. def popular and i wish it wasn't, people have such shit taste in entertainment these days

 

[Leon TrotSky]

What if it turns out the influencer fights were works

 

[Comrade Khan]

like when the promoter is part of the fight - you're an idiot if you think this shit ain't rigged

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Has there ever been a worked boxing match that didn't suck ass
