Define casual fan

[CubanGuyNYC]

Boxing has very few casual fans. But that's primarily because you can't follow boxing casually. If you want to follow boxing you're either buying $60 PPVs, paying monthly cable subscription fees for HBO or SHO, or trolling forums for crappy stream links. If you do either of those three just to watch some boxing, you are not a casual fan, you are a real boxing fan.

You make an interesting point. Based on your observations, one would conclude that the only explanation for some of the uneducated posts on this forum is not ignorance, but ******ity. lol

Casual fans watch Boxing with fighter's who has a name recognition because they believe that's were their money's worth(most of the time). They believe that a fighter who are known in Boxing world and the media has a higher level of excellence and competence that will make his fight a very interesting and entertaining match for the paying fans.

Casuals talk about fkin PPVs all the time like it means something. As if the numbers effexct them.

I also get very irritated when a casual or non boxing fan ask me who is fighting..

“Whose fighting?” They ask.. and i get annoyed because they wouldnt know these fighters anyway so why ask?

Like casuals are supposed to know who the *** Sergiy Derevyanchenko is? So dont ask me.

I like to discuss boxing with hardcores only. If you are not a real boxing fan, dont fkin ask me questions about the sport.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Niga who is fighting? Btch Sergiy Derevyanchenko is facing Jack Culcay.

They look at me with this blank face cuz theyve never hear those names before so bth why even ask me? Why make me waste my breath?

I just dont like to talk boxing with casuals unless they really want to learn and get into it.

Casual just means it's not a priority. So you spend the minimal time following the world of boxing.

It's all about the time you put into following and studying the sport. You can become casual tomorrow or hardcore depending on the time you put in.

Being a fan of the sport of boxing is also different then being a fan of an individual boxer. You can be a hardcore fan of GGG and not know there are other good boxers with different styles. They are still boxing fans but perhaps casual fans of the sport in general. Obviously they are not mutually exclusive. You can be a hardcore fan of GGG and Boxing in gernal.

I guess the only argument is, if you do dedicate all your time to learning the sport but can't retain or apply any useful knowledge does that make you casual or just dumb lol?
