Can we Once and For all Stop Trying to Suck Up to "Casual Fans"

Agreed

But Floyd PAC was boring

Agreed

It should have never gotten to this point though. The fight was as big as it was because casual fans only know of 2 fighters. So they base their entire opinions on boxing on the 1 or 2 fights they watch every year.

okay but do u all have to complain about it day after day and make threads about how it ruined boxing and action fights are so much better?

Yeah, **** the casuals. I don't understand why their opinion sshould carry any weight.

Because without casuals boxing wouldn't even be a televised sport here in the U.S.

it's Marquez's fault that Pac made it boring....Floyd has ALWAYS been the dude who shuts down his opponents....he wasn't the ACTION hero going into the fight...Pac was....the Ghost of KO6 appeared in Pac's head after the first counter right he was fed...Floyd did what he usually does...NOTHING different

Pac was supposed to cause Floyd problems he's never faced but the Ghost of KO6 is alive and real...just like most boxing people said it would be....there's no recovering from such a brutal KO like Marquez put on Pac

That's a lie. Casuals probably can't name 3 PBC fighters and they are on network TV. Casuals probably can't name one HBO fighter besides Canelo and they generate a million plus views. Casuals kill boxing by driving up PPV fights and making the sport dependent on 1 or 2 events per year.

There's so many casuals that post here, too.

They should leave the site.

It's getting disgusting at this point. Like we are desperately trying to seek their acceptance. After every fight it's "Oh no...what will the casuals think"

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.

Good post man!

if profit over a long term didn't guide boxing careers, you'd have a point.

you guys really don't get it, sometimes.
