Only hardcore fans watch fights below featherweight right?

Honestly It really doesn't matter as BW will play itself out. I say this because BW is filled with guys who will fight anyone at anytime (minus Donaire).

These guys (with the exception of Donaire) will eventually end up facing each other....so in this instance a tourney to force these fights would be in vain (as most of these potential fights will eventually happen).

yeah, but the tourney is a way to give them exposure

[KILLA RIGHT]

Yeah you cant be a real fan if you dont watch the lower classes

[RSBonos]

I never consider what to watch based on weight class, why would you when a straweight fight could be FOTY (its a candidate this year)?

The drawback to the smallest weights is that a lot of the champions stay regional and are overprotected and it used to be that you can't see their fights on TV but with the internet you can watch most of the high profile bouts.

yep, the only reason why you can't really keep up with it is because of the obscurity of those divisions

I watch any live boxing I can find, but under FW I start getting whos in what division confused.

only asians or latinos care about anything under featherweight. because their boxers dominate those classes. i'm hardcore boxing fan and don't care about those divisions much at all because i'm not asian or latino.

Not in Mexico, PR, and Japan.

That's because the average Mexican, Rican, Japanese is a FW.

I watch fights below FW only when they are big names.

Casual fans watch fights below 126 sometimes.

I don't pay much attention to anything below 130 anymore. I only watch the top fights. Sure I'm really excited about the Bantam tourny and fights like Montiel/Donaire, Juanma/Marquez, Caba and Gamboa vs. whoever. But I'm not going to make it a point to see fringe contenders going at it.
