    It might of put off some casual fans but fuck them I really enjoyed seeing floyd put on another brilliant boxing lesson on an inferior opponent.

    Most of us on hear had a good idea how the fight would go, the casual fan wants the Rocky toe
    to toe bullshit, Floyd do that never in a million years.!
    Yes the excitement of a big fight, which if's or but's never come into it with a Floyd fight, we
    ALL no the way he fights by now don't we.!

    The expectations were high,! but in reality you saw a boxing match the better boxer giving his
    opponent a boxing lesson in the noble art, of to hit and not to be hit yourself that's Floyd in a
    nutshell, not to everyone's taste but that's what you got.

    Most of us on here knew - yes.

    You need more casual fans on board though for the future

    We need Golovkin or Kovalev on terrestrial tv !

    Golovkin's last fight was on channel 5.

    Why do people care whether or not "casual" fans watch boxing? Is it because you want your friends to enjoy it with you? I don't get it as I couldn't give a flying fuck.

    Was it ?? I watched it but had no idea what channel. Channel 5 is probably worse....

    I care because I want the sport fan base to grow

    And I want another Fight Night game !

    Boxing was here before we were born and will be here long after we've snuffed it. There are more shows in Britain now than at any time in the past. It has it's own dedicated channel for gawd's sake.

    Casual boxing fans that talk to me about boxing generally get on my nerves. I'd sooner they didn't watch it.

    More interest = more money for the sport.

    Anyone who loves boxing should want it to succeed and draw money, so it can continue to pay the fighters and put on shows.

    Wanting to keep it your personal little secret is just selfish and stupid.

    Shame on you, you elitist knucklehead! You should try to give them some encouragement, explain why they're wrong. Hell man, if they show any interest, and you're too busy to talk, give them a few fights to watch on YouTube.

    Bang on. I said to Scrap during the week what do recon, Floyd by three clear points? He said yeah cant really see any other way but ill be going for Manny as hes the underdog. Same here I said except if Floyd gets dropped then he will be the instant underdog and I will start yelling for him to dig his way out instead. We agreed on that too. I think most knew the outcome deep down even though we all hoped for more. Hearts and minds all that stuff.

    I watched a thousand people in the pub I was in here yell for Manny as they had got caught up in race thing : America thinks its the best at everything and lets see the poor underdog win this he deserves it blah blah mentality. I tell you 90 % thought Manny won it going on what i heard as i left so these casuals now think the sport is rigged which it is to an extent due to who fights who and when ad the occasional gift ,but not the way they now think it is from the top down.

    It's ridiculous, the amount of casual fans that think Pac won makes me think we might end up with a re-match.

    I can see why some "experts" (lol) and "hardcore's" scored it for Pac - he was moving forward more (seems par for the course for many).

    BoxNation, SKY (about 25 dates + Box Office), ITV, 5, Eurosport, BT have all covered live primetime boxing this year. Not sure of BoxNation subscription figures but it's still going after 4 years
