Cherry picking our favourite boxers.

[powerpuncher]

i dont usually connect my favorite athletes to what they do outside the sport. i think that it definitely can affect my decision but it may not at all. if there is a super exciting boxer that always has great fights and is great on the microphone then i will be a fan of theirs even if outside the ring they are a terrible person. im a fan of the fighter, not necessarily the person. but sometimes, i do see certain things fighters do out of the ring and it can make me a fan or not a fan of them.

overall though, i think its true that we cherry pick why we are or arent fans of certain fighters.

It's easy to overlook their flaws because they're not exactly real people; they're just a guy you see on TV and they never did all that shit to you or your sister.
You obviously won't support a boxer convicted for something similar to what you might have lived through in your family, hence the cherrypicking.

But otherwise, if they provide interesting fights, you enjoy them anyhow.
