Ha, u guys should have been on the AOL boards and chat room back around 1998-2004...Sugar Ray Leonard was on there (I know because I helped him make his screen name because i was pretty sure people would get REALLY ****** with him once they realized it was really him. Luckily, we avoided that). I also know for sure that both Zab and Floyd used to be in the chat room sometimes.Comment

He definitely posted here around the time that I registered, before he moved down to 147.Comment

Yep. I see that happen all the time. I think most of them read the stories on the main page and then look at the comments. They probably don't go as far as to go into the forum and read the "Fighter A is Ducking Fighter B and Fighter B is the A-side" threads.
Before I made an account I didn't know there was a forum. I'd read the stories on the main page then read the comments. I didn't know the comments were posted from the forum.Comment

I agree. Before I joined this site in early and mid-2000s, I used to post at Doghouseboxing (not sure if it still exists). There too, they used to come. I remember Wilder in particular posting there before his pro debut.Yep. I see that happen all the time. I think most of them read the stories on the main page and then look at the comments.

I think boxers are more educated these days and read what is being said about them. Sometimes they even base their negotiations on what they read on these forums (Boxingscene being the best of all, bar none, not even close).
I'm guessing NSB is very important to Boxingscene. I bet more people come here than go to the main site.
It's a good thing! Peace.Last edited by BoxingIsGreat; 12-16-2017, 08:04 PM.Comment

A lot of promoters look at this site. We'd say at least 75% of major promoters check out boxing scene on a daily basis.
It's a lot more hit and miss with fighters. Once twitter and instagram became popular, fighters checking out the message boards became a lot less common.
In terms of people posting on this board under fake names, we know of at least a few promoters that do that. Boxing scene is a very important propaganda tool in this business. There may be a handful of top fighters posting here, but they're far more likely to have fake names on twitter and instagram to troll their haters.Comment
