I hear ya, I also used to be a much more hardcore fan a few years back but with boxing continuing to do itself no favours my interest has started to wane, too many fights on PPV that are undeserving, fighters fighting infrequently & not against the best opposition, bad scoring, PEDs & like you said a lack of local accessible coverage.
NZ boxing has always seemed to take a short term approach rather than building from the ground up with a big picture view. The interest is there it just needs to be done properly. The reason Australian boxing is in such a good position currently is because they focused on there national scene over the last couple of decades, building on local talents & rivalries & increasing interest in their national fighters.
