    How Old Are You: 15

    Is there a boxing gym in your local area: Yes

    What attracts you to the sport of boxing: People fighting, but yet at the same time so much strategy

    What about boxing do you dislike: It not getting enough media in general. People not paying attention to or talking about the smaller weight classes. Japan not unifying with the WBO/IBF.

    What other sports do you follow: Basketball and Football. Somewhat baseball and hockey

    If you could change one thing about boxing, what would it be: Japan unifying with the WBO and IBF tilists.

    Do you attend live fights, and if so how often: Yeah, I did during the summer. There aren't many fights here other then in cicero.

    Do you buy PPVs, and if so how often: Yeah. Pretty much all the HBO ones. Sometimes lower key ones too

    Have you been satisfied by your experiences when you went to live fights: Yeah the one I went to was great (montell griffin, kid diamond, and alex valdez)

    Do you feel PPV fights give you your money's worth:
    In general yeah. I've never been disapointed by a PPV except for Barrera-Pacquiao 2

      How Old Are You: 18

      Is there a boxing gym in your local area: Yes

      What attracts you to the sport of boxing: Damn.. Tough question. I guess the fact that it can be so simple, yet so damn complex. There are so many ways to look at it. I could never get bored.

      What about boxing do you dislike: The overcomplication, the businesslike approach being adopted by every top fighter. The general lack of organization. The sanctioning bodies smothering everything.

      What other sports do you follow: Football, basketball, tennis, soccer.

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

      Do you attend live fights, and if so how often: Not often. I have twice before.

      Do you buy PPVs, and if so how often: About twice a year.

      Have you been satisfied by your experiences when you went to live fights: Yes!

      Do you feel PPV fights give you your money's worth: Every time. Maybe because I buy PPVs in which I would almost be satisfied with JUST the main event.
