    Why can't some boxing fans deduct that articles are interviews?

    Almost every "Comments Thread For" i've seen, there are a ton of posters who ask 'why is Fighter A bringing up Fighter B.'

    This happens daily.

    Like if a boxer is just going to call Cliff Rold or Keith Idec to tell them how they feel about another fighter.

    Posters who can't tell that the article is an interview and the fighter is being asked specific questions argue semantics. Like "Why is he talking about him? He needs to fight so and so".

    It takes away from the discussion.

    I've been urging boxingscene to change interview articles into a Q & A format. It will create better discussions and not 20 posts of fans asking why is the fighter/trainer/promoter making these comments about said fight...Well because he was asked that question. Some of you really can't deduct that on your own, and Q&A's should be for those posters.

      It’s part of the forums charm , it would be to easy if they read the actual articles as well never mind setting up a format it would take away from the illusion that it’s just random people in boxing bringing up others for no reason for some posters on here. You’re probably ruining it for them with this thread by revealing it’s an actual interview where they answer questions.

        You are not answering the post.

        Why do poster not deduct that the questions are being asked to that fighter?

        You are giving me what answer you think the boxer should give. I am asking why do fans ask why is that fighter saying a comment about a fighter.

        Because he was asked.

        Every other website does it. Q & A’s are normal and they the way to format an interview.

          It takes away from discussions. It allows boxing fans to argue about semantics instead of discussing the specific topic.

            Most boxing fans are hyper. Me included.

            Generally speaking, maybe posters don't like the answers ?
