    The song should always be Jump Around. When it cannot be Jump Around, then the Jump Around Pete Rock Remix is a suitable replacement.

        How do you think you get US casual boxing fans (& even sports fans) invested in boxing again like they used to be back in the day on a regular basis & like they were more just a couple decades back to a greater degree then they are now?

        Who do you think is the most successful at reaching casual fans today without it being dependent on the big name fighter drawing the casuals in? Why are they having whatever level of casual success they are having do you think?
        Less of this type of punching:

            I support all variants of Jump Around. I like the way you think.

              Boxing is a dead sport here.


              You go to a bar and try to talk boxing, people won't know who the **** you are talking about and that's a fact.

                You can’t.

                First off this new feminized version of society don’t follow sports like we used to.

                Plus white people suck at boxing and white people dont want to see dominant ********** in dominant fashion.

                  Don't disagree with this. How do you turn this around doe?

                  And randomly I was actually pleasantly surprised at the GGG vs Canelo II closed circuit place I went to when I was next to this cat who was more well versed in boxing then I've ever encountered in my life outside of boxing forums.

                  Usually you ask who someones favorite active fighter is & they'll say Holyfield or some other retired guy & it gets awkward fast lol. Ask about someones favorite prospect & they look all confused & sh^t. This guy knew most of the guys we talk about daily which puts him in the top 99% of alleged boxing fans I've encountered irl.

                    Stacked cards is the only way to revive PPV in the states.
