How many of your friends/buddies are actually into boxing?

Probably a couple or three close friends are into it, one is a ex-boxer, just retired so he follows it alot, i have a few associates who kickbox and like boxing too so they follow it a little bit, my bro heard on the radio about the corrales fight and borrowed it to watch lol, but most of the stuff he hears is from me!! I don't know anyone who loves it as much as me though, wifey likes it (but she doesn't have much choice HAHAHAHA)

Interesting stats here... I'm like most of you is the only one in my crew who's really into boxing. A few will just watch a big Saturday night fight if no one made any plans and sometimes follow up on news. But no one really into it :-(

Not too many of my friends were into boxing before this year, but I slowly have force fed it onto about five of 'em or so. At the begining of the year none of them liked it, but this summer already one of my college buddies bought the Trinidad/Wright PPV on his own, another called me to see if it would be worth it to get Golota/Brewster tickets, and a third wants to come up and catch Tua fight on induction weekend! So they have seen the light I would like to think, of course fights like Morales/Barrera III, Trinidad/Mayorga, Pacquiao/Morales, and Castillo/Corrales probably had something to do with it also.

Almost everyone I know are into boxing. Actually most of my friends are either boxers or trainers. :)

of course, that's why the fans would pay. because it's rare to see a truly white fighter in this day and age :) it's like a rare diamond or something. thats why the two fighters who earned the most money are Tyson and DLH i dont think either of them are white

Two of my friends are Gatti and Tyson fans. They make stupid point about everything like gatti is going to out box mayweather and Tyson is the best heavyweight of all time. Their anaylisis comes down to pure KO"s not boxing skills. Never have presented a valid point about any boxer at any time. The only time i can go talk about boxing is when i actually box at my gym

I know one person where I live who like boxing as much as I do, all my other friends just don't get it.

my parents and a few people from work are fight fans. i know 2 people from college who like boxing as i do, however we arent knowledgeable as its hard to come by information over here...boxing here is a dead sport except for amir khan. we even had to pay attention to audley harrison. hence im looking for a gym close by to train and also meet some people who know and so im not always behind all of you on getting info.

I'm in the same boat as you. The only other people I know who like boxing are my dad and my grandfather. Same here it's my Bro,Dad,3 Uncles and my friends watch it cause I get them hyped and its free at my house.One of my uncles was golden gloves champ back in Mexico City.Everytime there is a fight Ill have it at my house,so I call my buddies and tell them to bring a 12 pack. I recently found out that I have a neighbor that used to box in Mexico. He says he was good friends with Jorge Paez back in Mexicali. His nick name was El Gato Felix. I only know him by his first name Gilberto. He'll come over and watch the fights with us also.

none of my firends like boxing unless they know ahead of time there is going to be a KO. and even then they will watch something else until the round of the KO

i only 2 boxing people. my brother and my friend

well its in our blood :boxing: Yep, that's the downside We have to work like three times as hard, since we aren't gifted with the genes but we >do< get that payday :)

That smiley's head movement is similar to that of prime Tyson.. I have probably one friend who is kind of a boxing fan, he knows most of the big names in boxing. I'm kind of getting the rest of my friends into it, though.

of course, that's why the fans would pay. because it's rare to see a truly white fighter in this day and age :) it's like a rare diamond or something. Lol "The Last White Hope" ????? well its in our blood :boxing:

yeah but go to www.boxrec.com and see how many divisions Latinos own of course, that's why the fans would pay. because it's rare to see a truly white fighter in this day and age :) it's like a rare diamond or something.

sometimes I wish I was born to a mexican family, then I'd have a better chance of having a fighting family. or a philadalphia black family. lol I'd give up my whiteness for it...(Then again, maybe I wouldn't. Being a white heavyweight, I am aware that if I do ever get a title shot, I'll be getting 10 million for that fight just because I'm white, which is wrong, but fine with me) yeah but go to www.boxrec.com and see how many divisions Latinos own

yeah damn latinos like boxing :boxing: hahahah sometimes I wish I was born to a mexican family, then I'd have a better chance of having a fighting family. or a philadalphia black family. lol I'd give up my whiteness for it...(Then again, maybe I wouldn't. Being a white heavyweight, I am aware that if I do ever get a title shot (even if I suck, everyone will buy a ticket because im white. the 80 year old people that never go out of their house will buya ticket cuz im white, I'll be getting 10 million for that fight just because I'm white, which is wrong, but fine with me) it sucks the way boxing is like that, everyone pays to see the white guy. cooney was like 'i had no clue i was the white hope' man shut the fuck up your full of shit. of course he knew it he just didnt wanna look like a fool in front of the press.

yeah You are goddamn right you are lucky.. yeah damn latinos like boxing :boxing: hahahah

....I think just about everyone here is in the same boat. We all know a few people who come close to sharing our passion but we don't exactly have a large group of friends that are obsessed like we are. I hate it when I start a boxing convo with someone and they look at me like I have two heads. Us hardcore boxing fans are drawn to other boxing fans and thusly we are led to a great site like boxingscene. I get a bit pissed sometimes, i'm quite a big bloke so when i mention i do/watch boxing people change, i can fully understand the two heads thing :D its like they assume i'm a thug but in truth boxings helped me control myself during certain situations. I try not to speak about boxing when away from this forum.

My girls a fight fan which is cool!! I have a couple of mates who are part time fans, everytime a decent fight comes up there watch it. Their really into other sports which sucks ass!! I can imagine it being the same with most boxing fans, thats why a lot post. The world far too soft :D ....I think just about everyone here is in the same boat.
