I'm just wondering. As much as I love boxing, not one of my friends follows the sport. Every now and then we will watch a fight on HBO but they don't really know anything about boxing or follow the sport at all.
Only one that I can carry a good conversation with. The rest watch that man-humping fighting, but they at least knew when Gatti, Morales, or de la Hoya was fighting. That's why I'm here. You guys are my boxing friends.
you must have all white friends, it seems every minority i talk to knows about boxing, and i only know like 2 white people who arent involved with boxing that know stuff about it. But all my white friends know all the ufc garbage. Im white also.
Yeah, the overwhelming majority of my friends are white (like me). Most of them follow UFC too, but when I try to tell them how much better boxing is they look at me like I'm crazy. Actually, alot of my friends who were big into UFC over the past year or two are starting to cool off on it. I think most of them started claiming to be UFC fans because it was the cool thing to do at the time...
None... :(
Which is why I turn to you guys for my boxing convos.
exactly. we either don't have friends who watch or we don't think they're intelligent enough to discuss it with them.
My friends are obsessed with boreing ass Football. Every once in a while they will watch a fri night HBO match with me. It took a lot of convincing to find 3 friends to split ODLH/PBF ppv.

Many family and friends are familiar with UFC, and some with Elite XC & PRIDE FC. I have one buddy that watches boxing. I know a few people who will occasionally ask me about someone they saw as they were flipping the channels on TV, but no one else (but my girlfriend who knew that resistance was futile) watches boxing with me - and I watch more than my buddy & girlfriend. They only watch the new live premium & PPV fights. I'm the one watching three year old Warriors Boxing repeats at 2 in the morning on the Sunshine Network when I have to work the next day...

That sounds about right for me.
