What's wrong with boxing fans today ?

[iamboxing]

A lot of people on here are buzz killers. Come here to discuss your favourite fighter and someone always has to chime in, "He was ****". Totally unnecessary. Golovkin lost once....that's it "HES BEEN EXPOSED"....shut the **** up.

Not at the level it is now.
Not even close.
Not even when Ali and Frazier had a rivalry .
Did Ali's fans boycott Frazier's fights and talk sh8 about him like Wilder-AJ now ? Not even close .

Missed Ray's post so I'm agreeing with you. Fans are different today, a lot of them are fickle hero worshippers rather than real boxing fans. They could be talking about any sport or contest most of the time.

It’s the message board/social media era.

First thing that came to my mind. There is a real toxic element to being able to talk trash while remaining, for all practical purposes, anonymous.

This and the 24/7 real time nature of the medium creates drama when there shouldn't be any.

***ers can't take a loss. PUZZY generation.

Fans haven't changed one bit. Still biased. Still salty. Still overzealous.


Blame the internet and social media for giving fools a voice.

I think more fans are fans of boxers than boxing. Their fascination and idolization of their favorites also forces hatred’s.

Most don’t care about the sport or the fights. They are more into what other fighters fans think and who’s ducking who and not who’s fighting who because they are never happen with any fighter unless it’s their god. Funny thing is their fighter is always ducked and everything in their favor is fair whereas guys they hate are always ducking and always cheating and never win close fights or fights than go the distance.

If this board is a representation of what the majority is like the sport is going to fade further away. They are more interested in what their mancrush makes than the sport or how poor their hated fighters are. They make Michael Jackson fans look reasonable and not obsessive.

It's good to know that there is a solid core of real boxing fans here.

Yeah but do you actually go to see your favorite fighter and support them? I seriously doubt it which makes you a semi fan. You probably dont even own their clothing or merchandise. At least buy a poster.

Only then will your opinion count.
