Andrade: "I'm not really a boxing fan, and I don't like going to fights"

Most boxers dont like boxing. It is there job and when they are not training they dont want to do anythign associated with it. I wouldn't say most, I'd say some. I see a lot of boxers at fights whenever I go. Guys like Chris Byrd, Steve Cunningham, Micky Ward, Emmile Griffith, Jameel McCline, Joe Greene at a lot of the fights I've been to.

This is bananas! That's like being a porn star and not liking sex.

in regards to butes latest title defense: "but the Bell Centre did everything they could to keep my next fight happening, so my manager, Al Haymon, asked me to go." huh? am i interpreting this wrong? or can some one please explain what he meant? I think he meant that he usually doesn't attend live boxing events but the Bell Center was going to do everything in their power to make Andrade's presence felt at Bute's fight, this would help interest grow in a rematch between him and Bute. It was in Andrade's boxing career best interest to attend the fight.

That's one thing I like about Winky. You'll see him at most of the fights. id let winky blast me in the face, true shit....:friday:

A common misconception about professional athletes is that they love the sports they participate in. The difference is, Pro Baseball and Football players have press agents that tell their players to tell the media they love the sport. It helps their fan base OBVIOUSLY. But truth is, if you've been doing something everyday since you were 7 years old, you are bound to become very, VERY tired of it

No wonder why he is a stepping stone in this sport... LOL If he loved this sport as much as the fans, maybe he could be a champion one day. Doubt it though.

I imagine a lotta fighters are passionate about their own careers, but not the sport as a whole.

Most boxers dont like boxing. It is there job and when they are not training they dont want to do anythign associated with it.

i see. wasnt aware of boxers who arent fans of the sport, but yet fight as professionals.

Lot of boxers aren't fans of the sport. Maybe because how much of their time it takes, that they can't or don't wish to follow it?

What you do doesn't necessarily define who you are.

That's one thing I like about Winky. You'll see him at most of the fights.

Jermain Taylor and Miguel Cotto are also not fans of boxing.
