      It'd likely still be a barrier - ain't sure collectively we boxing fans are the most progressive buncha folk around, but I'm thinking there wouldn't be the kinda outrage there mighta been 50 or even 30 years ago. Times-a-changing.

      Likely GhostofDempsey and slightly more bluntly Rexy have it about right though, I'd say it would partly depend on just how much they lived up to the flamboyant stereotype. Statistically it's highly likely that there's a least a few of the recognised names in the sport that are gay, just obviously it's something they ain't chosen to advertise.

          Hell no!!! If they were a flamer nobody would support them but other sexual deviants and Libtards. And a "normal" gay person would end up being supported by flamers. Flamers bring those disgusting sexual deviant "pride" flags, disgusting ******s and other gross degenerates. It would be a disgrace to this sport and I wouldn't watch anymore along with tons of others. Keep that sexual deviant, "woke," ***, etc... trash out of sports and especially boxing!!!

              Benny Paret seemed to know in 1962.
