Casuals vs Hard-Core Fans

[lizard_man]

I used to be a hard-core fan. Now boxing is so boring. No one fights anyone. Boxers are scared to talk shlt to each other. They're scared to lose their "0".

So I guess I'm a casual now because I don't know any boxers besides the big names

Im a causal - i have a life and other interests. I only INVEST my time in key fighters but keep an eye out for upcoming fighters.

diminishing returns and low roi on being a hardcore fan

You do not want to be the boxing fan version of those dorks who dedicate full weekends to football

look at who attends fights live ringside. oftentimes rich nigg@s will show up for only the main event and not even bother with the co-main

I'm interested to see what y'all definitions of casuals vs hard-core boxing fans are.
For example, would a casual block out time on his/her schedule specifically to catch the live coverage of the Fisher vs Babic fight?
I say no.

Would a casual know who William Zepeda is? Alexis Rocha? Brandun Lee?
I say no, nyet, nein.

Who is the most obscure fighter a typical casual fan would know by name recognition?

Finally, is there a reasonable category of fan interest between casual and hard-core?

I know people who know most every player in the NFL. They know their stats and tendencies. That dont mean they can apply to be a coach in the NFL. Theirs levels in all the games. Most fans are casuals INCLUDING some ex-boxers. Not everyone understands the game in depth.
