How Much Boxing Do You Actually Watch?

[Violent Demise]

I watch a lot of boxing. If it's on I'm watching. I got all the regular channels that show boxing (HBO, Show, ESPN etc) and the Spanish ones as well. I also get all the PPV. I pretty much pay for all the big ones (Mayweather-Hatton, Mosley-Cotto) myself. But some of the other PPV (Vargas-Mayorga, Chavez-Sanchez and the recent Valero one) I'll get one my kids mom to pay for that shit.

The fights I watch will depend on where I am in training.
If i'm 3-4 weeks away from a fight il watch the fights the morning after rather than stay up til 3 or 4.

Also, if i'm training I'll watch fighters that "apply to me." Guys who's style's I try to emulate and watch their moves to learn something. (I often find myself obsessively watching Hagler, Monzon, JCC and lately Whittaker.)

Otherwise I watch or rewatch a fight a day. Usually by guys like Leonard, Benitez, Arguello, Pryor, Ali, Hatton, Mayweather and Hearns.

I watch as much boxing as possible. Doesn't matter what time it is or who's fighting,I'll watch it. Also,as I have not been a fan anywhere near as long as some of you guys,I like to watch a TON of older fights/fighters,so I can see some of the legends in action myself. I like to download fights and make discs,sometimes based on certain fighters. For example,I'm going to put together all the fights I have of Roberto Duran on to disc soon. I've done that with Arguello,Finito etc.

Also,when someone mentions a name on this site,usually one of the more knowledgeable guys,and it's a name that I have not seen,I'll do some searches and find fights of that guy and watch them. Yeah,so I'll watch any boxing.

I used to find it really hard to watch fights without English commentary,when I first ecame a fan but I kind of ignore that now.Especially as most commentators talk crap. Plus alot of the lighter weights have fighters from different parts of the world,and their fights are just great to watch!

Nice thread Daxx my man.

I watch as much as i can, altho its not easy in Australia because boxing gets such little exposure here, and many of the big overseas fights dont even get shown. I like watching old fights i've collected, and seein how prospects are doing when i can.

Wich state are you in Eagle?

I watch whatever boxing is on. I look forward to Friday Fight Night on SKY which always has good domestic and interesting matchups and now and again world title fights such as Witter v Harris on and I stay up all night if Hatton is fighting but if an event like Pavlik v Taylor or DLH v Mayeather etc get's shown from the US i watch it the following morning on Sky Sports as it does repeats during the following day so I get up early and watch that instead of staying up all night.

[Pugilistic]

i watch at least one fight a day

I try to watch as much as I can. I watch all the freebeis on both the American and Latino channels. I collect fights and have a pretty large collection of DVD's which grows and grows. My career sets have doubled this year and some of you already seen my list of last years collection. To be honest, it's hard to keep up. There is a lot of boxing. I do however stay away from the Heavy Weight Division. I seldomly watch a heavy weight fight even if it's a big so called event. My biggest problem is that I like watching a fight more than once because everytime I watch a fight again, it's like I get a new angle or perspective and or catch something I missed previously. Not to mention I see even more when I start making videos because then I begin working with frames and slow motion and slow reverse because of the cutting and splicing involved in editing I have no choice but to work this way. Anyone who makes videos will tell you this is a little time consuming but it's fun and you get to see things missed by the naked eye because of the speed/pace of a fight. I have made a lot of videos that I have never uploaded. Some are just not suitable for Saddo. I guess a lot of them are for my own amusement but I do have friends who always ask me to share what I have made and I do from time to time send them files so they can laugh their @sses off.

I used to attend all the fights in and around QLD, AU - some in Melbourne - and watched the rest on TV when they were on. Still watch most of them when they are on TV, but don't have the time to attend fights anymore. Watch alot of KB too.

[Tins06]

I use to rinse YOUTUBE watching boxing like 6 hours a day but they blocked it in work ..I am amazed they haven't blocked me off saddos yet lol...Be a sad day if that happens.

Ive logged about 6days in Saddos so far though with not many posts..concentrate on reading and waiting for some good/rare vids to be posted.

I was just curious on how much boxing everyone wqatches here....Obviously 99.9% of everyone here knows their stuff and follows the sport but I am talking in a week....

I personally watch boxing on ESPN, ESPN Classic, FSN, Versus, and SNY plus any HBO or Showtime bouts that may be on.....I don't care if the fights are old or between two nobodies if they box I watch it.....I have to say I watch a good 10hrs a week....

Anyone else?

I watch about 3 fights a day that i haven't seen.

Gotta admit El G it was more to prove a point to my sister in law and her husband who tried to say it is unhealthy for anyone to watch so much of the same programmming ......They are also agaist Red Meat so ...I was just curious if maybe I did have an unhealthy obsession

[OumaFan]

For a while I wasn't watching as much just cause I was too busy with school and work but now I'm done with school for a while so catching up on downloaded fights.

Even when I'm busy I'll find a way to watch the ESPN, Versus, HBO, Showtime fights either live or taped.

Can't say I watch as much as I used to do though cause I've downloaded the old fights I wanted to watch and watched them a while ago, now its mainly just present day stuff.

[Trainer Monkey]

Way,too much
I have to be able to explain whats happening in a fight before I show it to a boxer.
I really like watching a fight the first time,but after that its work
There will be days,when nothings on TV,well nights really,and Ill toss on a fight I dont even like,and didnt like the first time,just to see if there's something to learn from it.
ieWatching Mike Tyson break Jesse Fergusons nose two days ago

[headson]

i try to get one everday which i usaully do

ppv go to uncles

[Irish Rover]

Onyl channels here (Ireland) that really show boxing are Sky Sports, ESPN classic, Eurosport and RTE.

Problem is RTE dont show boxing on a regular basis and a lot of the fights on eurosport are'nt worth watching. Sky Sports do friday fight night but I dont get to watch it very often(and a lot of the time I wouldnt be missing much) but I love my espn classic. Cant get enough of Bert sugar or docs on the old guys
