    How many of your friends/buddies are actually into boxing?

    Okay I'm asking this question because none of my friends are into boxing at all, except for my brother. I have 2 buddies who were what I call "fight fans" meaning that they are just into mega fights(Tyson,DLH,Jones Jr.,etc.)and thats it. Myself and my brother are the only person I know who are passionatley into boxing. It sucks because I can't really discuss boxing with anybody except my bro like I can with my buddies about other sports.

    How many friends/buddies are into boxing like you??

    I'm in the same boat as you. The only other people I know who like boxing are my dad and my grandfather.

      It sucks doesn't it? After a great fight, you wanna talk about it with someone who actually understands what has just happened, and you can't.

        I guess I'm lucky. My roomate is a die hard fan so we discuss and watch the fights together. My grandfather is also a big fight fan. Try asking people where you work you may find a fan you wouldn't expect.

              Yeah, only my MOM and dad. I think part of the problem is it doesent get as much air-time as the other big sports. (football/baseball/basketball)

                  Only one of my mates is into boxing, but he lives on the other side of the country now. Nobody else knows anything. A couple have probably heard of Klitschko, but that's about as far as their knowledge goes.

                    I haven`t any friends who are into Boxing. And like many others here, my father likes it a bit but i don`t have any friends who are IN to boxing. Its not a mainstream sport you know, boxing fans are a small community. But i appreciate a site like this one that boxing fans can get together and debate!
