Is this how it is after every big fight?

    Honestly, in my day to day life there's few boxing fans to discuss things with. Most people watch basketball, or football- maybe even tennis or soccer; with college kids MMA/ UFC is gaining steam. I can't find ten people who want to talk about Marquez-Pacquiao II. Sure, it becomes redundant that people make the same thread topics repeatedly but at the same time you have to be glad there's someplace to talk about fights with. I'd rather sift through threads about the same topic over and over than not have anyone else who gives a **** about the sport I love.

    In short: ****** people, short sided people, stubborn people and ignorant fans alike- I'm glad these forums exist. I'm more than happy to let people ramble if it means I have something to read or someone to discuss things with. It's why these forums exist.

      Only for close fights where arguements of robbery stick around for a good couple days to a week.

      Like Mayweather V. De La hoya...

      theres was talk there for about a good 2-3 weeks after the fight was over...

      When a fight has just occured that was close expect lots of threads...

      other than that look for millions of Floyd Mayweather Jr.; Manny Pacquiao; etc. threads going on... from their die hard fans and haters...

      well...not even die hard fans...more like fanboys...only fanboys will tell you that their favorite fighter is the greatest fighter to ever lace up a pair of boxing gloves...and so on...

      if you look past the junk threads there are actually some pretty good/smart boxing fans on this forum...

        obviously this is more likely since the decision was very close if not controversial and it just happens also that both pac and jmm belongs to the elite top 3 p4p in boxing.

                It's sad but it is usually like this after a big fight.

                Hell, even after Mayweather KTFO Hatton, we had people crying about the ref and all this ****. Hello, he got KTFO? Where is the controversy??

                  Yeas, definitely. Get used to this.. it gets worse the bigger the fight.

                  Robbery this.. Robbery that. The bottom line is that a close fight by definition cannot be a robbery.

                    let's put it this way: people still regularly ***** and moan about joe cortez during the hatton v. mayweather fight.
