Casual fans have done nothing for this sport but put money in Mayweather and Pacquiaos pockets. It's the only fighters they know about and its the only fights they watch. When they don't get their desired results, they degrade our sport.
We say "casuals want excitement".....they weren't watching Matthysse vs Provo, their not supporting GGG, Kovalev or Thurman....WE are.
We say casuals " keep boxing alive "...really? More like they keep the only 2 fighters they know about relevant. We are the one's that built Manny from " The Destroyer" to Pac man and Floyd from "Pretty Boy" to Money. They probably didn't even watch Pac vs Ledwaba, Barrera, etc. Or Floyd vs Corrales.
I welcome new fans to the sport who are willing to learn and make an effort to watch new fighters. But these fake non-boxing fans who only come around once per year to bring negativity can go to hell.

Casuals are great when they shut up and listen...doesn't mean I want to bring em home to meet mom.
Besides....who else will dole out good money for these tag contests called fights? I stopped buying fights years ago, there best be some new blood willing to pay for the hype...and most real fans I know feel the same way.Last edited by billeau2; 05-22-2015, 07:12 AM.

Absolutely spot on.
I've reached the point of just ignoring boxing conversations to avoid getting annoyed at the ******ity. I'm cool with differing opinions and debates with other boxing fans, but I'm zoning out from people who know nothing about the sport talking about what boxing 'is'.
