Why Don't Boxers drink Gatorade???

I am sure boxers can drink Gatorade while in training camp. Gatorade is something you would want to consume after training or a fight etc Or you could just drink mineral water and eat food.

Many studies have proven that drinks like gatorade are much better for u then water. Its about 90% water already, but its got sugar and stuff for energy. BUT, u can NOT dump in on ur boxer to revive him, thats half the reason that they have the water in their corners, so gatorade wont be used to often. ANd when people work out in gyms and stuff, they want to LOSE weight, and gatorade wont allow u to lose as much. Water is much more profitable then gatorade, which is why gatorade is now making water I drink tons of Gatorade Zero while I work out. Love that stuff. Tastes surprisingly good.

Gatorade doesn’t do ****. All “studies” were poorly done and sponsored by gatorade.

I've read that Gatorade is better for hydration than water, but it's meant to be drunken after competing. Drinking Gatorade during a workout makes you more prone to cramping. Plus boxers don't want the canvas to get sticky.

I swear, I cn't tell any difference from Gatorade and water except the flavoring. I don't feel energized when I drink Gatorade but I can definitely taste the salt in it (I don't put salt on anything I eat). I can wear myself out until I'm completely exhausted as long as I have water in my corner. For some reason, I think that my fatigue point wouldbe sooner if I had to rely on Gatorade instead.

I always thought it'd be hilarious for a boxer in between rounds to look at his trainer and say something like "I know how to beat him, get me some gaterade" or something similar. On a side note does anyone remember the old brisk iced tea commercial with Rocky?

It doesn't absorb as quick as water.

Depends on the contract, I think some allow it, others don't. Drinking Gatorade isn't bad, it will definitley be beneficial compared to water when it comes to high intensity sports. You could just make your own, water lemon and salt and you're good to go.

Is Gatorade allowed now? I saw Mayorga drinking Gatorade in his fight with Cotto.

maybe boxers should use Xyience! lol :D

The Gatorade that football and basketball players drink are highly watered down, so there is minimal amount of sugar in the drink and plenty of water in it.

so wouldn't that be better for the boxer? He won't get exhausted as fast? You would think it is, but you cant listen to everything you hear. The best way to still be able to rumble through 12 rounds is good conditioning.

Sure for marketing, but nothing else. You can't sweat out gatorade like you can in the commercials. So that's a main reason why boxers don't drink gatorade. They need to be able to work a sweat, but it's hard to do that with drinking gatorade.. so wouldn't that be better for the boxer? He won't get exhausted as fast?

All the other sports provide their athletes with drinks such as powerade and gatorade, so why not boxing? Golden Boy Prodmotions are dumbshits for even complaining about that bs against vargas. I think drinking gatorade will be better for the sport. In terms of marketing and all that shit. Sure for marketing, but nothing else. You can't sweat out gatorade like you can in the commercials.
