Does Pacquiao's 'defeat' drive 'fans' away from Boxing?

Many people I see on facebook are already saying they're "done with boxing." While they aren't hardcore fans, you can't really blame them as they tune in and pay for a quality fight with a just ending, and they get jobbed. I cannot see anyone in their right mind giving Bradley more than 3 rounds, and again, that's coming from someone who had Marquez winning their 3 fights.

The manner in Which he lost will drive fans away. I was a hardcore fan until I stopped boxing at 16 because of a car accident. Joined the military at 17 and stopped watching boxing for about 3 years because I was deployed 8-9pmths out of the year for my first 3 years in. I got back into watching it after getting into a more stable career field in the air force force. I think I'm gonna stop watching because of all the **** that comes with boxing... It has turned into a soap opera with bull**** robberies like cloud/campillo and Alexander/mathysse.

 

I wouldnt call it *******s. A lot of my casual friends have spammed Facebook about how Boxing just lost the benefit of their doubt.

 

No. I think they'll turn up in droves to watch Pacquiao try and avenge this "defeat" in the rematch.

Pacquiao's fans will only truly leave the viewing base when he retires (and it will be a sad day for boxing when he retires- he's a great, seems nice and classy, was always an exciting fighter and a box office attraction; boxing always needs people like that.) Regardless of what people think about his fanatical fans, Pacquiao has done a lot of good for boxing, and he will be missed when he hangs them up.

 

you sir are dumb to think gtsk is a *******atsch

 

i stopped watching for a while after holmes lost to m. spinks, not too long after hagler lost to leonard. i still think to this day that both won.

 

I was being generous to Bradley and I gave the first to him along with rounds 9-12 and I still had him losing.

 

casual fans are probly bebating who's more legit.....pro rasslin' or boxing?

 

i know wht his motive is....

 

This should be your thread tilte:

Does Pacquiao's 'defeat' drive '*******s' away from Boxing? :deal

 

What happened last night was flat out disgusting. Boxing for sure took a hit last night but boxing will recover.

 

The best thing about this loss is the end of *******s. Boxing forums around the net should rejoice the end of *******s has come. They will leave boxing forums in mass because they weren't fans of the sport only Pac fans.

 

Yes it probably will,but **** em!
As a Marquez fan,that result gave me no pleasure at all.A genuine robbery for me but rounds like the sixth had Timmy in front for 2.10 of the round,and Manny doing very well for 40 seconds,so I can see both arguments.
I've just gone on to Hills because I put a fiver on Timmy on points at 6/1,and the *******s are saying I never placed my bet!!!

 

You say you are such a big fan but why dont you ever post in the classic forum and only in Pac and Floyd threads?
