Ok this is a FYI thread and the answers to your smiling questions.
I see people asking:
How did we start smiling?
Who was the first to smile?
Does everyone have to smile?
Smiling started back when boxing turned corrupt, we always knew we could do it, but until now we haven't bothered.
What triggered the recent wave of smiling is Miguel Rivera's articles with the 'smiling' headlines.
It's uncertain who's side the smile Miguel is on, but the NSB smiling pioneers started because of two smiling articles in close proximity.
First article was: ABC prez smiles: Spence-Garcia will have diamond belt at stake (Mon Feb 25)
Second article was: ABC prez smiles: Canelo will be our franchise champion (Sun Mar 3)
In the second article there was a sentence:
"Although no details of the appointment were given, the sanctioning body leader pointed out that in the near future the exact information will disclosed when the implications of this title is explained"
This led many boxing fans to believe they were getting trolled, or boxingscene had tounge in cheek when publishing these articles. It is a sentence that has long words but goes in circles and means nothing (kind of like abc titles mean nothing).
Since then the last of the smiling articles was published
Arum smiles: Khan will come to fight like a man, Garcia came to survive (Fri Mar 22)
It is because of these headlines people came out from the smiling shadows. So please don't hate on smiling... It is what brings us together as boxing fans!
If boxing fans didn't smile after these types of articles, they would be sad.
