    Does anyone else get ****ing annoyed with these casual bandwagon "fans"? Who pledge to know everything about boxing? They talk nonsense out of their ass. And when you actually try to educate them about the sport. They get mad. **** annoys the hell out of me. For example at the barber shop. A guy was throwing a tantrum why mayweather wouldn't fight ward it was only a few pounds, weight makes no difference and blah blah when i tried to explain he said save your words I've boxed for 7 yrs i know all the insides and outs. I don't invite my friends over for boxing matches anymore the frustration they cause me does not let me enjoy the sport..I watch football once in a while, when the superbowl comes I don't go off and say I'm a football historian, nor get mad at my friends for trying to educate me about the sport..
    I don't get annotated at all, their one of the sole reasons Big Fights like this one are spectacles.

      I'm with u on this one. Its been me and my fiance for the last Floyd fight and now this, if anything she's starting to appreciate the science behind each move (after multiple explanations).

        I agree with this. I tried to get someone to go with me to the theaters to watch this fight. A certain someone who isn't following the sport as closely as I am but seems interested. They won't be able to make it so I'm shelling out a little extra for ordering it at home. I won't bother with the streams for this one.

          yea, and when she doesn't understand something she will ask me. I feel like a young cus d'amato teaching someone about the sport. I know it sounds funny, but it feel good lol

              I'm talking about the elite fighters that people care about, the Floyds, Saul's, Pac's top 10 p4p guys.

                Its your duty to educate these people if at all possible. When they start talking nonsense, just shut them down and bring out as much knowledge as you can. If they're a decent person, they'll be willing to listen and learn. If not, they're an *******. But you can always tell the ****heads who just won't listen so its better to just be quiet. But there are some people out there willing to learn if you give it the right approach.

                  Manny and Floyd fights... when everyone on your facebook becomes boxing experts who've watched the sport forever.
                  My friend was talking about Canelo like mad hard, so I posted this on her wall
