recently my cousin started showing an interest about boxing and asking me loads of questions.
so last week he stayed over at my house and we watched the gatti-ward trilogy and naturally he thought these 2 was gods and very good fighters. so then after that i showed him mayweather-gatti and he was gob smacked on how good mayweather was and has borrowed all my mayeather fights and is watching mayweather on saturday.
i wanna know if any1 has similer storys to share

Good strategy as far as showing him gatti-ward before gatti-mayweather is concerned.

every time i see Gatti-Mayweather I realize why they made pro-wrestling scripted in the first place....

Cult fans of this sport (which means all of us here at BS) have a special obligation to spread the sport of boxing into the hearts and minds of mainstream sports fans.

If sports fans in general are exposed to the VERY top fighters and the VERY top fights they will become a fight fan, not a cult fan like us but a real fight fan and that is what we need.

Invite people over to your house, encourage them to bring a friend from work do whatever you gotta do to spread the word on our sport. Our passion for this sport is infectious and we need to realize that, not too mention that when Boxing is at its best (Taylor v. Chavez, Castillo v. Corrales, Gatti v. Ward) there is absolutely no sport that can compete!

We all should be trying to recruit, freinds ask me if they can bring someone over to my house that is interested in watching the fight and I tell them of course invite them over, anybody who wants to watch the fight is a friend of mine!

Think of it like the word of god, start spreading bitches!
