Boxingnews24 and other sites

Post by the truth »

Have I missed something? Loads of websites having articles on about haye and saying he's retiring on a defeat after his next fight? Has the fight took place yet or something? I happen to believe haye will win by ko and I'm sick of reading all the hate towards haye on these American websites ,complete bias articles
What's your thoughts guys??

Don't read shite websites that are designed to cause outrage so they can sell advertising.

Stick to reputable sites that carry journalistic values (of which there are only about five).

Boxingnews24 is one of the worst sites out there. Steer clear of it at all costs. It's not journalism; it's people with sub-100 IQs ranting bias-laden tripe.

Those ''articles'' are written to generate comments and extra clicks - and thus advertising revenue.

Imagine getting paid to talk bollocks :lol:

I've not read the article in question but imagine they are responding to Hayes comments in an interview on 5Live. The summary of the interview is in the bbc website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/13741467.stm)

Didn't Maloney once say he had over 80 websites apply for one show?

That's just crazy. I doubt I could name 20, even if I was given all day.

Ha'way Ian man, I could name 80 websites easy. It's just that 72 of them would feature 'Art Films'.

For pure information, Boxing Scene, Fightnews, Eastsideboxing.

But I prefer to just use this: http://newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Boxing

I used to read secondsout but it's gone very poor over the last year or so. The endless articles about Salita, Greenburg & Yuri Foreman tended to show a bit of a bias towards a certain background

Doug Fischer of the Ringonline and Steve Kim of maxboxing are the only US writers I read these days. Oh and Hauser of course

BN24 is a terrible, terrible site

he has said he wants out by 31.

which is october 13th.

vitali-adamek doesn't happen until 10th september.

if he beats wladimir he'll surely have to stick around for vitali.

huge disappointment if he retires tbh. :roll:

Boxing News 24 is terrible. Agree it's just sensationalist crap to draw people in, get the comments flowing and make advertising revenue. A 'trash site' if you will for boxing, can;t stand it myself but each to their own.

Boxingnews24 is the equivelant of a bug eyed drunk sitting in the corner of a pub, writing his "thoughts" on the back of a beer mat.

100% agree.
Boxingnews24's terrible reputation is well deserved.

Not to be read unless you appreciate highly subjective and speculative articles and errounous reporting.
My favorite is when they reported some Wladimir Klitschko fight being a flop and the box office because it only had sold 17,000 tickets.
The dullard that wrote the article hadn't even bothered to check the seating capacity in the arena, which was - have a guess - 17,000.
Yeah, a packed house, what a flop that was :lol:

Not surprisingly the "article" was deleted after a short while.
