Persuasive Boxing Topic?

[Light_Speed]

Good topics, but a lot of those aren't persuasive. I have to try to change how someone feels about something...

Oh my bad, yeah my topic would turn people away from the sport lol.

Hmm, you could write about fighters who were able to extract themselves from poverty through boxing and used their money to help their community. Yeah I know most champions are probably from low income background but you could focus on fighters who were extremely poor and made it to the top. Leave out fighters who went broke again though.

Well, boxing is often thought of consisting of nasty characters. Why don't you do something on the good things boxers do (charity work and so forth)?

The common perception of boxing is that it's just about violence. What about something along the lines of how boxing can help win fight against anti-social behaviour.

Good luck with it whatever you decide to do.

Do you guys know of any persuasive boxing topics I can do for a 6-8 page paper? Any suggestions are appreciated.

A good topic is the chaotic governance that prevails within the sport, and why it is that boxing is so disorganised compared to other global sports, looking at its inherent subjectivity, the individual nature of it and so on.

The absence of strong central authority in boxing is perhaps one of its defining features.

An interesting question to consider is whether it is better to have a strong governing body in a sport, even if they can be corrupt and ***********al at times, than have a sport ran by glorified gangsters in the form of promoters and organising bodies like the WBC?

Is it even possible to bring order to the sport of boxing? And if it is, how on earth would you do it?

I have the perfect subject for you. Howard Cosell, probably the greatest sportscaster in history, especially loved boxing, almost singlehandedly made Muhammed Ali, nroadcast almost aall the really famous fights in his time, abruptly quit boxing because he was disgusted that Randall"Tex" Cobb was taking a terrific beating and the ref wouldnt stop it.

This was a REAL change of attitude and feeling.

I gave a persuasive speech about boxing once - it was right around May, so I wrote one out and went up there and tried to sell Mayweather/Mosley and convince people to buy it. It's hard to get people to part with their money, so I had to get specific about people could go about watching it - incentivize the reader. I told them about the $$ rebate from Tecate, explained how to throw a fight party, where to go for theaters, and how to buy tickets, etc, etc. Real specific information that instructs them on how to do what you're trying to get them to do. This is all in addition to giving the history of the fight/fighters itself to build that up, but the important part was really just getting people to watch it.

It was a speech so IDK how that would translate to paper but it qualified as a persuasive topic and I got a good grade for it. There were a lot of questions afterward so I think it got people thinking and talking at the least.

I wrote a persuasive paper on the perceived dominance of MMA over boxing today, and basically presented facts that boxing is actually the bigger sport worldwide. It pissed off a few UFC meat heads that proof read it, but I had some very strong points and facts that they couldn't say shit.

That's cool man, I did a similar thing in my Public Speaking class, but I did it on the Mosley-Pacquiao fight (which was happening that month). Funny thing is I didn't really care for the fight or either fighter Even funnier was the fact that the fight turned out to be complete crap I hope I wasn't that convincing that I got people to actually spend money on it but oh well, I got my A.

Ahh this is so hard. I think I have to stick with my topic of corruption in boxing, the thing is though that's almost naturally a persuasive topic.-___-

Whether Arturo Gatti should have been admitted to the Hall of Fame.

In your argument you could go into what the HOF really stands for, entertainment of fights versus getting the W, impact of death on how we remember rate sports stars etc.

It's basically already written for you across the web.
