Are boxing fans the most fickle out there?

[Nameless]

PErsonally, win or lose, if I like a boxer, I stick to the very last defeat behind him. The only things that can make me to hate a boxer are cheating or very very bad attitude outside the ring.

I think a lot of it has to do with the frequency of activity. Can you imagine if your beloved patriots played only once or twice a year? I mean look one fight for a lot of the elite in boxing happens as often as an entire season in other sports.

The narrative of boxing can, most times, undertake such dramatic swings in perspective, that it can be hard to establish where the contrived moral high-ground is.

I understand that contrived is of course, inextricably linked to a 'matter of perspective'... I admit it's a tough one.


However, if i go way past deep :
One of the truest manifestation of free-will is an opinion.
In a Non-existent League Table environment without a universal, consistent and rational entity to exercise control over proceedings, there will always be a seemingly irrational shift opinion as the matter of perspective gets lost pretty quickly.

Just my opinion

#1 Yankee fans are the most fair weather fans out there, just a bunch of loud mouthed jackasses that LOVE being on the bandwagon.

#2 Boxers fight only so often and when they lose there is usually such a long layoff that a loss is usually more damaging mentally to the fighter than physically and the true fans have MONTHS to stew over a fight.

in my family you can ONLY either like the Yankees or the Mets lol i chose the Yankees at age 4 and i'm still a die hard fan, and rooted for them even in their 9 yrs without a world series title lol, so not everyone roots for them cause their on the bandwagon, and loud mouthed.....well can't deny that lol 2010 THE YANKEES REPEAT!!!!

I've found boxing fans to be the same as any other sports fans, just slightly more enthusiastic and dedicated (probably as a result of the sports lack of popularity). By and large, they're the same as hockey fans, football fans etc.

If you want to see a bipolar fans base, I'll be happy to post a link to the next game-day thread for the hockey team I follow.

I I'll never not like the Pats, Celts, Bruin or Sox...

But..

I totally agree with boxing fans being as we are due to the dwindling popularity...

I've had like 6 people tell me this year(tell me you haven't got this...) "You're like the only person I know that watches boxing"...........

"Watches boxing".......... Like it's a fucking sitcom... No, I don't watch boxing. I marvel, critique, and am in awe at most of the things that take place... No, I dont "watch"...

People that aren't boxing fans will never understand... I don't expect them to... Nor does it matter to me... I love my sport. Period.
