    That's not really true, it's just that smaller fighters aren't very marketable and don't get much exposure.

    The truth is people would rather watch heavyweight bums than highly skilled Flyweights.

      I like the thai fighters & there's a few under 122. They're skilled & have been fighting hard since they were kids

        i watch whatever is on TV or i can download the following day

        i do think that some of those divisions are unnecessary and should be merged though. i have a feeling that the split between 112 and 115, for example, is more about increasing revenue by creating more titles than about fairness. these guys all seem to have the same bodily dimensions and walk around at similar weights

          126 lbs. (featherweight) is my cut off point. I'll watch fights here and there below 126 lbs., but I don't care about those divisions.

          And honestly, these days it's hard to care about anything that happens below 140 lbs.

            I watch the better known fighters. You can get a lot of very fast paced skillful fights from 108 to 118.

              Of course. I love Boxing. Doesn't matter the weight, gender or pro/amateur

                If your into : Steroids, Politics ; Catch-weights, taking dives , mediocre set of skills no heart then this is not the place for you ( stay above 140 ) -- maybe you prefer to be entertained by the latest gossip like a bunch of women : what car does he drive? oh is he going to prison?! did you see his **** in snapchat??? who's he dating?? I think hes gay... just pitiful.

                  No, I don't bother with midget fights

                  unless there's a big name / outstanding talent involved, like Chocolatito

                  I think straw-weight is the only division I've never watched (aside from some Ricardo Lopez' highlights)

                  for some reason, I cant bring myself to care about guys who are lighter than my dog

                    I try to track the lil guys as much as possible, but its rough goings on seeing the fights in the US. They tend to be on at weird times or they have ****ty versions not in English on Youtube later & generally...& this might be the most controversial part of my opinion there are a lot of decisions or at least a lack of impressive early/earlier round one shot KO's which makes viewing those fights less appealing/compelling.

                      Unless there is a special fighter like Finito Lopez, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Chocolatitio or somebody I don't watch those divisions. I also enjoyed Anselmo Moreno at 118.

                      I'll watch them on undercards (McDonnell/Kameda were good fights). But I won't go out of my way to stream those fights with regularity.
