The Influence Of Social Media on boxing.

[Spud]

I am truly astonished at the lack of coverage in the “print media” of the Fury/Chisora 3. I am also saying the lack of advertising on tv has been lacking too.

Do you feel boxing promoters have become too heavily reliant on social media?

Has promoting the sport made an irreversible change of direction towards social media?

Is boxrec the best forum for debating/promoting boxing?

What are the best boxing websites?

Has the role of boxing journalists/reporters changed so much they need to get in the queue for interviews, when they were always at the front of the queue?

Hardly anyone, especially in the ticket buying age group, read the printed press. They all have social media.

If the sale of 60,000 tickets is true ,, social media has'nt really impacted the sale of Fury -Chisora , after all its not got paticular good press ,,, But then again maybee it has and thats the reason it got 60000 ,,,,

regards journalist / reporters i would'nt call most of them that , doubt if most have been to journalist school , most the reporter /interviewers , can't even speak the q
queens english and you need subtitles for them ,, Thats if you bother watching them lick arse , which seems they have to do to get that interview ,
Finally , some of them Davies and Kugan in paticular are actually starting to think there bigger than the boxers , and the interviewer is now getting interviewed , , what was it lick arse Cassidy refered to Davies has ,, BOXING ROYALTY ,, that was enough for me too turn off .

Best boxing sites , don't know this is the only one i go on

Social media is used very differently by different age groups.

We definitely see a lot more interviews and behind the scenes stuff. In the Lennox era you'd get a press conference, maybe an interview with the TV network and that's it. These days the fighters are getting much more exposure.
