    As a fan, have you ever taken some time off from boxing?

    What prompted you do to it? How long did you take off?? & what brought you back???

    Im going to be ordering the fight this weekend, but if this "mega" fight doesnt live up to its expectations, ends controversially, or unprofessionally I think I am going to take some time off from watching/supporting PROFESSIONAL boxing and focus on the amateurs, Im kinda tired of the premaddonas, alphabet organizations, lawsuits, & hypejobs. I hope this weekend proves me wrong because there are some great fights to be made but I wont hold my breath.

    I've been watching boxing for 30 years, since I was a little kid, so I've taken time off periodically through the years but it was always just a decline in attention paid, never fully just shutting it down.

    And there's never really been a reason. I cannot imagine stop watching the sport, however, because of those type of things outside of the ring. Ultimately, if RandomguyA is fighting RandomguyB, I'm probably watching it. It may not be the fight I REALLY want, but it's still a fight.

      Never. I am a very dark violent person on the inside, and this is my drug.

            30years? geez man, thats alot of history (no offense) but would you say boxing today has peaked your interest less than prior decades?

                I believe it.. you sound like those mass shooter types. You have a ton of posts and nothing productive to say which tells me you spend a lot of time insulated all by yourself.
