heard this for years it hasn't happened the best time it could have happened has since passed. Today mma is largely dominated by 1 entity and that's the ufc who are starving for draws. Dana was so adamant against females until they knew they needed fighters to fill their million cards now they are one of the biggest attractions. With that kind of forsight it's a little discouraging

CBS/showtime have also got out of the game, that was a huge zuffa free avenue for dudes to shine and raise their profile/value. We aren't likely to see a kimbo or any other personality that doesn't fit into zuffa's immediate plans again. Mma will exist in its own space like tennis or hockey but it will never see boxing. Dudes are so thirsty for the sweet science that they are clamoring to watch these two 4'11 mosquito weights duke it out. Boxing was suppose to die after Tyson, then dela hoya, now it's paq/mayweather? Nah some other name will be it's saviour

depends on what you call a casual. To me a casual is someone who doesn't know the history and the ins and outs of boxing. i have met people that went boxing matches that i would kill to see, but that dont mean they not casuals. to me a casual fan is anyone that is not a hardcore boxing fan. I bet if you went into the crowd in MAY 2nd and asked 20 of the people there who Marco Antonio barrea is or who carlos monzon is, they would probably not know who the fukk you are talking about. Buying a ticket doesn't mean they are hardcore fans of boxing, it means they have the money and they want to see a good fight.

I can a casual fan buying manny v.s pacquiao, because its big, our going to tyson fight as an event

those are rare times, the bulk of money from boxing comes from boxing fans

Just because you don't know who Marco Antonio Berrea is doesn't mean you are not a boxing fan

I know a pro boxer at 147 who last year didn't know who Keith Thurman was, and he in this nikka division and watches fights all the time,

that's apples and oranges, not everybody is going to know everything or see every fight

that's what being a boxing fan is about, that's something snobs like to argue over, or HARDCORE FANS, not every fan will be a hardcore a casual fan is like a casual drinker, which means they will only drink at an event or a special occasion

I can go to a Jay-Z concert, and people won't know who Big Daddy Kanes, doesn't make them non rap fans

No it's not, which is why I make more money than you because you don't know shyt about business

if Casual fans tuning is what makes BIG MONEY in boxing then BOXING WOULD BE DEAD

The only people who think because is dying or dead are so called casual fukking fans

damn you a moron

I see you never been to a fight week in vegas or any type of untelevised bxoing event

Casuals fans account for a significant portion of PPV buys. They're important to not only boxing, but sports in general.
