    Same here it's my Bro,Dad,3 Uncles and my friends watch it cause I get them hyped and its free at my house.One of my uncles was golden gloves champ back in Mexico City.Everytime there is a fight Ill have it at my house,so I call my buddies and tell them to bring a 12 pack. I recently found out that I have a neighbor that used to box in Mexico. He says he was good friends with Jorge Paez back in Mexicali. His nick name was El Gato Felix. I only know him by his first name Gilberto. He'll come over and watch the fights with us also.

      my parents and a few people from work are fight fans. i know 2 people from college who like boxing as i do, however we arent knowledgeable as its hard to come by information over here...boxing here is a dead sport except for amir khan. we even had to pay attention to audley harrison. hence im looking for a gym close by to train and also meet some people who know and so im not always behind all of you on getting info.

        My Cusins and stuff in Puerto Rico watch/talk (non-diehards) about boxing, my family here in the States are diehard Baseball fans.

              Two of my friends are Gatti and Tyson fans. They make ****** point about everything like gatti is going to out box mayweather and Tyson is the best heavyweight of all time. Their anaylisis comes down to pure KO"s not boxing skills. Never have presented a valid point about any boxer at any time. The only time i can go talk about boxing is when i actually box at my gym

                it's like a rare diamond or something.
                thats why the two fighters who earned the most money are
                Tyson and DLH
                i dont think either of them are white

                    Not too many of my friends were into boxing before this year, but I slowly have force fed it onto about five of 'em or so. At the begining of the year none of them liked it, but this summer already one of my college buddies bought the Trinidad/Wright PPV on his own, another called me to see if it would be worth it to get Golota/Brewster tickets, and a third wants to come up and catch Tua fight on induction weekend! So they have seen the light I would like to think, of course fights like Morales/Barrera III, Trinidad/Mayorga, Pacquiao/Morales, and Castillo/Corrales probably had something to do with it also.

                      Interesting stats here...
                      I'm like most of you is the only one in my crew who's really into boxing. A few will just watch a big Saturday night fight if no one made any plans and sometimes follow up on news.

                      But no one really into it :-(
