                  How Old Are You: 22

                  Is there a boxing gym in your local area
                  : Probably not, haven't looked

                  What attracts you to the sport of boxing
                  : The competitiveness and a fight has got a different "atmosphere" to it then a basketball or baseball game for example

                  What about boxing do you dislike
                  : fights being over hyped, PPV, fights made that are strictly about money, mismatches on Versus, too many recognized champs per weight class, and lastly over hyped PPV fights that are strictly about the money.

                  What other sports do you follow
                  : used to really watch NBA, now I pick and choose between College Sports (football, basketball) a little NBA here and there, K-1 and MMA.

                  If you could change one thing about boxing, what would it be
                  : Less PPV

                  Do you attend live fights, and if so how often: Only been to Cotto/Judah, might go to more, depending on availability of fight cards where im at

                  Do you buy PPVs, and if so how often: Not so much, only PPV I've bought was World Awaits

                  Have you been satisfied by your experiences when you went to live fights: O yeah it was fun as hell, (Cotto-Judah) and on top of that the ticket price was pretty much the same as the PPV cost ... $49.95 vs $50 .. and going live I saw more fights then a PPV buyer would, lol.

                  sure the seat was upper level, but still going live was awesome.

                  Do you feel PPV fights give you your money's worth: Hell no, that's why I don't buy them.
