Is the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines doing well for boxing in the Philippines?

If you can recommend measures to upgrade the quality of amateur boxing in the Philippines, what will these be?|||I SHOULD SAY NO. I think you already knew the answer to this question yourself. For starters, the amateur boxing association of the Philippines or ABAP has not enough funds or money to sponsor the up coming amateur boxers in the country or give them enough training or equipment in the first place.





I THINK most boxers are sponsor by a third party and the ABAP have to negotiate to these parties to get the best boxers in the Philippines. It is like a cattle for purchase. Most are being train by different group and not own by ABAP.





UPGRADE THE QUALITY of boxers in the Philippines? Is this a joke? Our people cannot even have a decent 3 meals a day and you are asking for a quality boxers of the Philippines. If you travel in the provinces, most of these promising boxers are punching a bag made out of rice sake and filled with sands or gravel from a construction site. Is this normal? They haven't got a decent boxing gloves to begin with but with only a wrap up old cloths and some rages. Nakakaiyak kung makikita mo ang kanilang pagka puspusan magensayo at maging isa na naman Manny Pacquiao at siempre yumaman. This people are entering boxing not for the fame or glory to the Philippines but for the MONEY IT WILL BRING TO THEIR FAMILY. Dahil nga kay Manny. Is this normal to you? To me it is not. We are twisting the very foundation of boxing since Manny arrived.





I RECOMMEND WE MAKE THE PHILIPPINES A PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY FIRST before embarking on this boxing thing in the Philippines. As long as we are considered a POOR country, no matter how diligent we are to promote boxing career for our Filipinos it will go down the drain.|||Nope, sports here in the Phil was never a priority. Only the politicians pockets.
