How many people in your social circle watch boxing?

Like I've mentioned, I used to watch boxing with some friends and relatives. I'm all alone now. When we get together on social occasions it's clear they're no longer familiar with names that are regularly mentioned here. They don't know who Tyson or Wilder is let alone lesser names. Don't take my word for it. Make your own little survey by standing in one corner of your street and ask random passers by. Or simply stop fooling yourself.

None of my close friends are into boxing. In my social circle, two people are into boxing: my dad and a guy I used to work with. My dad was a huge boxing fan in the 80s. Nowadays, I'm the reason why he still has a little interest in the sport, I keep him up to date with what's going on in boxing. We'll watch cards together sometimes but you know "No one can compare to Duran, Hearns, Leonard and Hagler" so he has little appreciation for today's stars. Though this thread represents a small sample, one has to wonder where Boxing Promoters/Networks find all this money to throw at the biggest stars in the sport especially in North America.

Non of my family watch boxing much, my brother will watch the big fights. Non of my my closets circle of friends like boxing, not even casually for the big fights. I have probably one friend who actually follows the sport closely, he's someone I will go fights with..we usual rope others in who are just there to tag along. Most of my other friends will tune in when there's a big fight though. Joshua etc. If I'm watching the fight on TV though, I enjoy watching it on my own to be honest. So I can score it and focus.

Our family get together for big fights, have a drink and have some food. My co workers are casual fans, most my gym buds are real or casual boxing fans

A couple of my neighbors are boxing fans. We used to take turns throwing fight parties, where a lot of casuals would show up. My brother watches boxing, but not as much as he used to. If we’re talking about people who turn on the TV specifically to watch boxing, maybe four or five.

my old man (no h0m0) & bro

One friend in my hometown, and another in San Antonio. That's about it. Now that I'm on the east coast, I realize people don't like staying up untill 1am to watch the main event.

My pops and like one childhood friend. When I lived in NYC, there was at least 7. But when I left they stopped except for 1. Because I would be the one to know of upcoming fights and tell everyone about it. Since I left they stopped caring about boxing. There are coworkers, maybe like 3 who watch some fights, but they are not in my social circle although we discuss fights pre-fight and post fight at work, but I don’t count that.

Large gatherings in Christmas, New Year's eve, Thanksgiving, etc. The question should be have u ever been to a boxing match:sucks:

Zero. It's why I joined this site. My dad used to, so when he visits I'll throw on whatever card is on. We watched Charlo/Harrison 2 together, but for the most part I watch them all alone or with my girl reading a book. Similar. My Dad when he was around and now just me and my brother. I'd happily watch it alone though. I do for some lower end fights that my brother sometimes doesn't watch. Love the boxing, never miss it.

Sounds abit dismall across the board. I ride solo when watching boxing cause all my mates are into UFC. They odviously don't know what their watching. Lol.

I had five friends that got together with me to watch boxing every weekend. But three of them got married and their wifes no longer let them.

My brother and uncle are major fans. My girlfriend watches with me all the time.

My Opa had an amateur title in Friesland. My Dad is a lifelong fan. Us three sons have been huge fans since about six years old. Donny Lalondes brother was in my class in elementary school. He put up posters for the Leonard fight. We’ve always been on top of it. I have one friend who never misses anything like us. I have enough friends that will watch the superfights to throw a party. But boxing is one of the most important things that brings the boys in my family together. I think I’m very lucky.

ZERO! Immediate Family Members, Close Friends, In-Laws, Co-Workers whatever...I don't know anybody in my personal life who gives a F#CK about boxing which is the only damn reason I still come to this crazy forum :lol1: just being honest :dunno: Even when it comes to other Forums and the Boxing Sections or Chat Sections of a Stream for a Boxing Event it is a GHOST TOWN Same lol. I even hit up a gym a lil ways out of town that opened somewhat recently to try and make some friends who like boxing and learn how to box properly and possibly have a few amateur fights before I am too old to do anything remotely competitive. Sadly some injuries and personal **** getting in the way of that currently but maybe 2020 will be different.

4 casuals that watch only the big events in MMA and boxing and 1 hardcore boxing fan Suprised the casuals were asking me about Tank Davis before the Gamboa fight

Down to 4 of us consistently...the odd time 1 or 2 more.

My wife, my brothers, and 3 friends. My cousins are casuals

Just my brothers and dad, and a couple peeps at the gym

Only me. One of my brothers used to follow it.
