Mine don't in any form.

Absolutely. Some of my best and earliest memories were sitting in front of a TV screen on a Saturday night,when my parents would pay for a ppv and throw a watch party. They're the ones who got me into the sport,but they're also the ones who let me know how shady the world of boxing can be sometimes.

Yes, both of my parents like boxing, but generally only heavyweight boxing. They watched all of the Tyson fights on HBO in the 80s, which is how I got into boxing as a young child. They would order most of the heavyweight title fights on PPV in the 90s. They still watch, but not as much. My dad is in his 80s now and it's hard for him to stay up late for PPV main events. He did order Wilder vs. Fury and was able to stay awake, but he didn't order Wilder vs. Ortiz II because he was tired.

Mom, NEVER watches any boxing and hates it.

My dad will occasionally watch some fights with me.

My mom hates boxing, too violent for the old lady.

My dad loves boxing, he got me into it when I was a kid. Watched a lot of great fights with the old man. Sad to say, he's not nearly as passionate about it as he used to be. He's more of a casual now. Too much politics, titles, networks, best not fighting the best, etc. All that made him lose interest gradually throughout the years. He's too old to keep up with all that.

They are casuals

Your mom does.

No but seriously my dad is a borderline casual fan and my mom doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Pretty much everyone on both sides my family will sit and watch a boxing match although my son's attention tends to drift.

My mum is probably a casual. She likes Fury, AJ etc. And she used to like Calzaghe, Hatton etc. She will generally tune into the sky sports cards with the likes of Chisora or Whyte

My dad was a big fan when he was alive and my grandad was a trainer in a local amateur gym.
