“It’s perhaps the worst-kept secret about boxing that boxing fans, while admiring the skill and artistry that are both parts of the ‘sweet science,’ also like to witness one human being inflict pain on another.”

I like the bloodbaths and cold KO's

[-MAKAVELLI-]

i like the robberies and early stoppages

I don't like seeing it. Cotto vs Margarito and Pacquiao became difficult to watch after a while.

That being said, Taylor vs Chavez is one of my favourite fights, though if I saw it live I think it would have sickened me a little bit.

its sport...both fighters consent to the bout, are getting payed, and are under an athletic commission lol. not like im watching felony fights or some ****

[SirTomJones]

i feel there is a clear difference between a casual fan and a die hard fan.

I don't find seeing someone hurt enjoyable to be honest. Seeing someone knocked out cold a la taylor abraham i find particularly displeasing.

Obviously man is far more primal than we would like to admit. We develop weapons to kill thousands at once, we (especially Americans) look down on others while we feel better then others because of our personal possessions. We are primal, we still have the same instincts of 200 years ago. Those people were known for genocide and ****. Doing the most brutal things as we think back, but in reality we are no further evolved as we put it.

We are the dumbest creature on the earth, animals fight for territory or kill for food. They don't do any unnecessary discomfort to others unless it directly effects them. We may have more technology but we are the most primal creature in the world. The internet's greatest use is ****ography.

Priority #1 for ALL FIGHTERS is to WIN!!!

sure us SELFISH Fans we want fighters to fight the way WE want them to fight, which is basically two guys throwing a ton of Power Punches until one of them goes down, while it is entertaining to us...should a fighter risk his career and risk losing just to entertain? I DON'T THINK SO!

Fans today are so confused ESPECIALLY the Casual Boxing Fans (who really don't know **** about boxing, they are just familiar with their favorite fighter and nobody else lol), it is not about what we WANT TO SEE, I order a PPV because I LIKE the way a Certain Fighter Fights, I don't order a PPV expecting a Fighter to fight different because I orders his PPV

I personally love the way Mayweather fights, I actually prefer watching fighters with True Boxing Skills then I do just a Brawler who is just looking for the KO and have very limited boxing skills, so when he can't get the KO he gets out-boxed (i.e. Chris Arreola vs Adamek recently)

We aint no MMA fans.


If we only liked brutal KOs we would just watch UFC.
