Lets imagine he is a world class boxer with an exciting style would be being openly gay be a positive or a negative on his career
Didn't bother going through the thread as I'm sure theirs a couple of Paulie jokes, along with a JMM joke and possibly a SSM.

To answer your question in short I think it would all depend on the how good the boxer was.

The ATG and living legend Emile Griffith was gay.
World Welteweight champ
WBC & WBA Welterweight champ (2 time champ)
World Light Middleweight champ (Recog. by 1 org.)
WBC & WBA Middleweight champ (2 time champ)

Fought the likes of "Kid Paret" (RIP), Ortega, Dupas, Moyer, Wright, Fernandez, Rodriguez, Carter, Curvis, Gonzalez, Tiger, Archer, Benvenutti, Napoles, Monzon, Mundine, Licata, Briscoe, Antuofurmo, Hamani, Minter. (losing to some of them)

So how can a gay boxer do... Well there it is.
