Me being from Mexico like the poster Golovkin...i dont understand this at all

We are a bunch of friends that gather in one house or another for the ppv or good fights and make a big deal, lots good, drinks, etc, not one of our teens watches a single round.

You're comparing it to golf? Go play a soccer and try to control a ball with your feet while someone else is trying to take it off you, and then try to shoot it into a rectangle box with someone blocking you. It requires immense skill.

Yeah I'm totally aware golf requires more skill, what I'm saying is watching soccer is about as entertaining as watching golf.

Lmao You're fucked up, bro. I'm not a soccer fan, but I get into the World Cup...big time. There's something about the energy of that event.

I enjoyed the Brazilian fans too. :boobies::boobies::boobies:

Soccer is extremely entertaining if you know the context and know the intricacies of the sport. Also, It's called football. Also, go fuvk yourself, and go watch gladiators...uncultured American goon.

you dont know what you are talking about.

I am a Mexican born in mexico and raised, and all my family in the U.S. are barely 1st generation 2nd generation are all 7 years or younger, with that being said those who are boxing fans are hit and miss, they like boxing when its a Mexican vs xxxxxx but dont really care otherwise, only a few are real boxing fans.

Its like that with every single demographic, they only watch when its "something they intriqued by vs xxxxxxxxx"

[Dean_Razorback]

I still have a hard time understanding that people like soccer after the age of 8. I mean, it was fun during recess for a bit but even at age 10 I realized how girly of a sport it is and watching it isn't any better than watching golf.

yeah, soccer sucks. futbol on the other hand is the most popular sport in the world (outside of the US of course)

Of course it can happen, boxing is **** lately.

Well I lived in Culiacan, Mx for a while and come from a boxing family. I never had a chance lol. But the 3rd generation hispanics..the ones who aren't familiar with the culture or language (tend to be of the "i understand it but cant speak it" variety ) don't really have the exposure or fight culture ingrained. I grew up eating and breathing boxing as I competed, having the "no te dejes" mentality which isn't really how most kids are growing up I feel. My daughters watch every boxing event with me and show genuine interest. My youngest named our albino gecko Canelo on her own because he was pale and reddish like Canelo I guess lmao. It starts with the parents. Kids these days would rather take the high road and thats why bullying is such an issue. The manority of MMA fans are like "casual" boxing fans. The history isnt there so most are just casuals who have easy access to watch them at any bar and regurgitate whatever Dana or Joe Rogan say. I probably follow MMA closer than most "mma fans" so it's not that boxing is dying. the U.S just isn't as big a player in the game outside of Floyd and we dont have a ton of names you want to drop what youre doing to watch. Wilder for example is being mis promoted imo as an american hw champ with such a pretty record.
