"real" vs. "fake" boxing fan. your thoughts?

;11493655']Alot of these "real" boxing fans seem to think that knowing boxing better than someone else makes them intelligent persons :haha: You must hold an all time Boxingscene record for having a 100% red karma bar after 16 posts. And stop sending me that G(r)ay karma already, it does nothing at all.

real fans would tell you that pacqiao has been the best fighter in the last decade mayweather had the most potential from anyone they ever saw but didn't fight enough to cement that potential and that amir khan is probably going to be next in line as P4P king :no::no::no:

Difference between a FAKE and Casual. For example a fake boxing fan(really a floyd mayweather fan) would try and tell you some dumb shyt like Genaro Hernandez is a Hall of Famer. A casual fan would just admit he has only watched Floyd's last 11 fights(since the Gatti fight)

Some fans think they are more real, because they've entered a basic boxing course in their local gym, and have maybe even met a known boxer in their real life. But, boxing is not just the sport but the whole circuss behind it, just like Formula 1, NFL, Basketball and so on. And that shows in the PPV numbers as well - good boxers interesting to the general public are getting better PPV buys than just good boxers. And most of these are casual fans interested in boxing but not all the details - doesn't mean they aren't fans.

I don't know about that, that sounds more like broke or cheap....just sayn

That is true and I never said anything about their knowledge or participation. But how long can you follow one fighter for? Or is just watching PPV's ok? Boxing has and always will thrive on casual fans. Thats what boxing has over mma is that is breaks through to mainstream society. Its on the news. Its in the papers. I watch most fights in pubs (bars in us). Cotto v Marg will have about 10-20 there to watch the fight. When Tyson fought you could not move in a pub. Mundine v Green was crazy in here in Aus. There was a 1000+ people there. 95% of them had never heard of Julio Cesar Chavez, but they were there watching boxing in their droves. They all talk like they know boxing and i know i know way more but i dont feel like im a better fan or im special because they are what makes boxing. Not hardcore fans that will watch any fight. Boxing just needs to make more of these epic fights. The odd casual becomes hardcore and you build from there.

So they would welcome any new fans, whether they only like one fighter or not. Real fans dont dismiss the opinions of other fans regardless of there level of knowledge. We were all new to the sport at one time or another and most of us got into boxing because of one fighter, in my case Chris Eubank, I used to hate Nigel Benn and fans that liked him but now he is one of my favorite fighters. Boxing needs all the fans it can get if its to return to the glory days. Real fans know this. That is true and I never said anything about their knowledge or participation. But how long can you follow one fighter for? Or is just watching PPV's ok?

Boxing fans stream fights in the net. Casual fans buy PPV. You know that ain't true

Guys tell us what's a casual fan and a hardcore fan, also is there fans who are neither but have some good knowledge

lmao and the here come the haters that don't know sh*t about boxing Pac looked great against Marquez and Mosley. He didn't knock them out but he dominated them in every conceivable way that boxing fights are supposed to be scored. And neither of them have EVER been knocked out before and they ran for dear life so how you gonna hold that against Pac? And who else fought 2 first ballot HOFers in 7 months? No one would even dream of doing that except Pac. I also completely agree with Froch being ahead of Andre "I get cut with headgear and pillows on" Ward The only problem I have with the list is BHop shouldn't be on there after that embarrasing display he put on against Dawson. Wlad should be there and Vitali/Khan should be there. Observe the bold, your telling me that I can't say this dude knows nothing about boxing & isn't a fake? There is no way on earth that Pacman dominated Marquez.

A "real" fan follows boxing. A "fake" fan follows a boxer/boxers. That's my opinion Real fans love the sport. So they would welcome any new fans, whether they only like one fighter or not. Real fans dont dismiss the opinions of other fans regardless of there levle of knowledge. We were all new to the sport at one time or another and most of us got into boxing because of one fighter, in my case Chris Eubank, I used to hate Nigel Benn and fans that liked him but now he is one of my favorite fighters. Boxing needs all the fans it can get if its to return to the glory days. Real fans know this.

Wad up fellas, real fans watch boxing all yr long while Casual fan only watch highly promoted fight, real fans kNow the Emanuel agustus and kid gavilan of boxing while casual fan only know the mayweather's and pacman of boxing. Real fans can have an educated boxing conversation while on the other hand casual fans resort to mma when all else fails, lol ( funny but true). Actually MMA has casual fans too. Also what if a person doesn't watch every single fight but still knows a lot more than the casual fan what would that person be considered?

if people dont see it my way there fake. if they see it my way they are real. thats what 90% of fans of all sports have the mentality of. u can put roger mayweather in a debate with a boxing historian. and if the historian does not agree with mayweather rogers gonna be like "U ain no **** about boxin" thats just the way it is

A "real" fan follows boxing. A "fake" fan follows a boxer/boxers. That's my opinion

Casual fans who ask dumb questions or say dumb shyt annoy the hell out of me.

It seems elitist, I know. But I just can't stand people who talk about boxing, badmouth the sport, and call so and so bums without even following it. The worst is when you have someone truly come up to you and say, "Holyfield's fighting?! Ooooooooooh, should be good!" :nonono: I have a friend who regularly stops by whenever there's a ppv fight, but that's about it. He won't watch a fight if it doesn't involve Cotto, Pacquiao, Mayweather. I remember I tried showing him the Angulo/Kirkland fight, and I lost him somewhere around the 3rd round when he started talking about college and other stuff. :grumpy: Afterwards, he wasn't watching the fight at all. My wife knows more boxing than him, and she doesn't even follow boxing or watch the fights. God-damn... God damning the sport will not help it at all........someone really got uninterested in the angulo- kirkland fight, what - does he have the attention of a 1 year old?

They're casual fans for a reason, hopping onto bandwagons, annoying us real fans with their ignorance and biased opinions. It's not an elitist mentality, but more so a "no-tolerance" mentality. I mean, how could someone have the patience to put up with a Pactard or even try and have a real conversation about boxing with them? I don't care about the business side of things, let the fighters and their promoters deal with that. As a fan I'm interested in whos fighting who and so forth. you always get fanboys, and they use ignorant namecalling to justify their stance......hmmmmm - you are not a hardcore fan

I dislike these casual fans who believe Chavez Jr is a legend because he has over 40 wins and no defeats
