How well would a Gay boxer do?

[Trainer Monkey]

Monkey I admire your insistence on arguing every single point you make until the bitter end, refusing to give in even when the reality of your wrongness is pointed out by everybody.

But let's just assume here a little scenario.

Christy Martin announces she is gay. What kind of newspaper and media coverage do you think this would get?

Now Evander Holyfield announces he is gay.

I ask you Monkey, which is the bigger news story? Which one would people be talking about? On this forum and other boxing sites around the world which story would be discussed the most?

An openly gay boxer amongst the world's male elite would be huge news. If Floyd Mayweather announces he's been playing with mens cocks you can be sure it would create some SERIOUS news, discussion and debate.

If Christy Martin announces she like to flick the bean pretty much the only household where anyone will care other than her own is yours.

Anyway, I know you will continue to disagree and delight us all with another classic response, so please continue.........

Well I can safely say Christy wont be announcing she's gay any time soon
But even if it was Holyfield,it would make more of a bump on anthing then sites like this.
Nobody in the real world really cares about Holyfield much anymore either,if Laila Ali decided that she really liked chicks it would get more play in the media.

Ah Trainer you really livinig in your own world, you think Evander Holyfiel could announce he was gay and the world wouldn't talk about it?

I agree that Laila Ali announcing she was a lesbian would certainly get into the media but this has nothing to do with the fact that she's a boxer but rather everything to do with who her dad was.

And even with Laila Ali, you are completely, utterly and hopelessly cluelessly wrong if you think Laila announcing herself a lesbian would gain more press attention that Holyfield announcing he is gay.

Actually you are,nobody cares about Holyfield anymore,they havent for years now.
It'll play on boxing boards,but it would barely be a hiccup on a mainstream news board like Yahoo
