Would Boxing support an openly gay star?

[GhostofDempsey]

It really would depend on how he carried and conducted himself. If he prances around like some flamboyant sissy-boy, chances are he won’t be accepted. If he comes across more low key and doesn’t play up to that stereotype, and he is kicking ass in the ring, I think he earns the respect of most fans.

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

Well isn't the most paid boxer in history gay?

[ShaneMosleySr]

Yes without question.

Becoming a star in boxing is all about having a tribe that roots for you.

There’s definitely a large group of people who would support and watch an openly gay boxer.

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

We all know about about Emile Griffith, but didn't he hide his sexual preference. This was the 60s. It wasn't as widely accepted..

Floyd has a lot of fans.

If Elton John and George Michael were facing off in the ring...I'd watch. So I guess it's no different if it's 2unknown gay dudes. If they can fight...I'll watch.

I wouldn't really bother me tbh, i care about what happens in the ring not what a boxer does outside it.

The gay boxer would automatically become 1hourRun's fav doe.

denium, did you have something to do with Tyson's and Sefer Sefari's break-up? I'm devastated by the awful news, I hope you are proud of yourself.
