    Who gets The Ring magazine?

    Trying to see how popular the good old Ring mag is with the boxingscene crowd. I know that magazines in general aren't that popular because of online news outlets but I just prefer to read printed media sometimes instead of getting online. I also don't want to bring my laptop when I want to read on the ****ter.

    I don't have a subscription but I pick up every new issue at 7-11 and I have been for awhile. It's ridiculously expensive but it's a solid magazine with great articles and photography. BHops 'perfect execution' articles are always cool.

    I think a lot of people pick it up and flip through it, maybe checkout a few articles and put it back on the shelf but I like to collect them so I fork over the 10 bucks. Its crazy going back and reading issues from like 05 where they say Hopkins should be thinking about retirement and now its almost 2010 and hes on a winning streak at LHW.

    I used to a few yrs ago. Eventually I said **** it. Never had time to read it at work, which is really why I got it. Can always get boxing news online for free at the crib.

        Only online for free.

        I'm not gonna pay for a propaganda mag owned by a promoter.

        I'm no sucker.

          regardless of the "propaganda" the articles are well done,interesting and informative. if you enjoy both boxing and reading it's a solid magazine. I wouldn't say buying it can make you a sucker but to each his own

            I would not pick it up even if I was in a waiting room and it was on the table in front of me.

                  Ever since I found out Ring Magazine was owned by a DLH I have never read another page. I realized that its mostly biased propaganda **** with a few good articles once in awhile.

                    I was a big fan and collector of the old Ring Mags... Now I want nothing to do with their Magazine for posting their ratings the way they do now. I remember when they were unbiased in rating now its a chop shop! Golden Boy/Ring the two dont go together.
