Boxing Trunks

Seeing Khan's newest trunks costing $50,000, it brings me to question why do boxers only wear their trunks once? If I was a boxer I would find it cool to have a pair of signature trunks I'd be identified by.

 

The Klitschkos used to always wear the same trunks/robes when they were sponsored by Hugo Boss

 

Um, because the blood, spit, sweat, and semen that collects over the course of a fight is a symbol of a grueling journey and people want a memory of it? Also, could be used in the future as a museum piece.

Curt Schilling's laundered, free of blood sock would not hold the same appeal.

Not every time you fight you get bloody. What about a guy like Mayweather, he never even gets bruised. What's his excuse? And have you ever heard of dry-cleaning? Theres ways to get them clean again, yes I know that many trunks are kept as memorabilia but it's just a general question. And actually some people would like having bloody trunks as memorabilia, to me that's probably cooler than having just regular old worn clean ones.

 

You're just a cheap person

 

That's actually true lol. But still, it's just a question. Guys like Tyson and Hearns had signature trunks.

 

Wouldn't it be great if somebody came into the ring wearing old-school Everlast black and white trunks?

 

That would be pretty dope, much better than these guys wearing these multi-colord skirt things.

 

Lots of guys wear the same type of trunks over and over.

Obviously not the EXACT same
