Studies shown that boxing fans are the least likely to have boxed out of any sport.

Well I dont think you can claim to have played football if you haven't actually played a game, competitive or not. The equivalent in boxing would be sparring, for an open spar most would probably have to train minimum of 3 months. That's a lot of commitment for a game.

Also you can play football recreationally, ie kick a ball around without any pain involved, going into a boxing gym, sparring or not involves heavy physical workout which brings the pain. Unless you mean boxercise...which doesn't count as boxing. That would be like claiming you did martial arts because you took Taebo.

 

68% of NFL fans have played football?!

 

yeah they played catch in the backyard

 

Is 18 rounds of golf in a group of four, or slugging down the driving range.

Depends on what you define as sport or participation.

Is hitting a tennis ball against a wall the same as a tennis match with an umpire?

How would you categorise shadow sparring? It is a fundamental part of the sport but you can also do it in a bedroom mirror.

Statistics are bull****, 9 out of ten people enjoy gang ****.

 

Scientific evidence that most people DKSAB.

 

8%

 

Even worse are porn customers:
11% have had sex before
3% do it on a consistent basis


:deal

 

Boxings a little different to those other sports...
You need to be willing to put your health on the line

 

It's obvious boxing will have a much lower % than these other sports, but I still find these numbers too low.

 

Only because the other sports are commonly done in schools / when you grow up.

 

Must have taken the survey from ESB. Uncanny accuracy.

 

And Boxing fans are so quick to call someone a Bum or a Coward. SMH!!!

 

It´s not a game.
Same think with all other combat sports.

 

exactly :good

There's also the part of accessability.
How many Formula 1 fans have actually raced any type of Formula car for instance?
Many young childeren come in contact with the nation's most popular sports due to friends, school, family etc.
And the part of a lot of boxfans being fightfans, who might or might not have done other combatsports (some on high level) while not having actually boxed.

 

So, what have we learned today?


:huh
