Would Boxing support an openly gay star?

[sentax]

An NFL player just came out of as gay and the commissioner of the league released a glowing statement and twitter is abuzz at the joyous news. How would the boxing world react if a star came out as gay? Supportive or....

I think it depends if he acts like a phaggot or not.

Yusuf Mack?

Unfortunately, it's a bad move in combat sports.

Other fighters won't want to lose to a "Phag" even if they're not prejudiced themselves, they won't wanna deal with the bigots and fans who will forever diss them etc

So they'll be closed out of the game. Best to keep it yo yourself I'd think

A LOT of Casual Fans would indeed support him but no hell no look around on this forum people spend a Decade Straight Calling Mayweather as well as Oscar and other fighters "GAY" so imagine what the reaction would be for a Fighter who came out

Yah this guy. Not a star by any means nah but still openly gay.

Do your homework people. Emile Griffith liked men and made little compunction about it. He outboxed some absolute legends to boot.
