Casual Fan definition

MJ40617y ago

as the topic implies I've heard this term thrown around quite a bit so what's YOUR definition of a casual fan? do they have HBO, Showtime, buy the PPV's etc? discuss.

Comments (15)

thanks for all the replies, much appreciated as I kinda thought myself that a cas fan was someone who only knew big name fighters and little else besides PPV.

17y ago

Casual fans are people who spend most of their time in the Lounge why else would u join a Boxing forum and spend most of your time not discussing Boxing unless u are a casual fan

17y ago

as the topic implies I've heard this term thrown around quite a bit so what's YOUR definition of a casual fan? do they have HBO, Showtime, buy the PPV's etc? discuss. I'd say a casual fan only watches big PPV events and doesn't know who Clottey is but thinks he's heard the name Zab Judah before.....

People who believe boxing is dead

Well most of the time I only watch HBO fights because i'm not always home for the friday night fights. I don't buy PPV because most of them cost more than they should and i'll get to see it for free somewhere anyway. My dad was a boxing fan and my uncle boxed so i had already had some knowledge and had watched boxing at a young age but didn't know a lot about it. I started really getting into boxing by reading boxing history books mags the ring,ko,fight game,ect and buying up all of the 'Best punchers' 'Tyson and the Heavyweight greats' blah blah blah tapes. I can tell you a lot of usless info on hall of famers and near hall of famers but i'm not so good with guys who had a short career at the high level the "also rans" and "gate keepers". I have a few hundred fights on tape and DVD. I have a folder thats about 2inches think of boxer records that i've printed off and a scrap book of news paper clippings of Tyson and a few others. What am I ? Hardcore. I am casual by comparison.

Anyone who simply watches the 'big' fights but has zero knowledge of what is going on in boxing, leading them to still think Tyson was good when he was shot, for example.

People who don't follow boxing, just certain boxers. Big names like Ali, Tyson, DLH, they might know. Not much else.
