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

[elveiel]

....I think just about everyone here is in the same boat. We all know a few people who come close to sharing our passion but we don't exactly have a large group of friends that are obsessed like we are. I hate it when I start a boxing convo with someone and they look at me like I have two heads. Us hardcore boxing fans are drawn to other boxing fans and thusly we are led to a great site like boxingscene.

I get a bit pissed sometimes, i'm quite a big bloke so when i mention i do/watch boxing people change, i can fully understand the two heads thing its like they assume i'm a thug but in truth boxings helped me control myself during certain situations.

I try not to speak about boxing when away from this forum.

sometimes I wish I was born to a mexican family, then I'd have a better chance of having a fighting family. or a philadalphia black family. lol I'd give up my whiteness for it...(Then again, maybe I wouldn't. Being a white heavyweight, I am aware that if I do ever get a title shot (even if I suck, everyone will buy a ticket because im white. the 80 year old people that never go out of their house will buya ticket cuz im white, I'll be getting 10 million for that fight just because I'm white, which is wrong, but fine with me)

it sucks the way boxing is like that, everyone pays to see the white guy.

cooney was like 'i had no clue i was the white hope' man shut the **** up your full of ****. of course he knew it he just didnt wanna look like a fool in front of the press.

of course, that's why the fans would pay. because it's rare to see a truly white fighter in this day and age

it's like a rare diamond or something.

That smiley's head movement is similar to that of prime Tyson..

I have probably one friend who is kind of a boxing fan, he knows most of the big names in boxing. I'm kind of getting the rest of my friends into it, though.

Yep, that's the downside

We have to work like three times as hard, since we aren't gifted with the genes

but we >do< get that payday

none of my firends like boxing unless they know ahead of time there is going to be a KO. and even then they will watch something else until the round of the KO
