    I'll say 5/10 just because I don't have HBO or Showtime but I usually just Youtube or watch streams. I usually watch the big PPVs at a relatives house. ESPN Deportes is probably all I'm going to watch today. Will try to find a link for Chavez-Mandredo tomorrow. More than a casual fan thats for sure. Nothing compared to Intenttionalbutt

    Not as much as I'd like to.

    About 4/5.

    Currently not living in the UK so I feel like I missing out on Boxnation. I watch all the big ones and some of the smaller ones - mainly FWs cards

    I'd say a 7. I'm interested in the 10 top ranked fighters in each division, and any combination will get my blood going. I always look forward to at least one of the undercard fights. Living in Ireland I know alot about the British and Irish domestic scene. I do however neglect alot of fights below 130.

    10. I watch all weight classes (lower classes dont get enough tv time so I also scour youtube for significant fights in those classes), I watch everything that's on tv, hbo, showtime, espn, fox sports, tsn, etc... buy all ppv's and any fights that I don't have access to i do my best to find a way to watch them alternatively or just go to intentional headbutts RBR descriptions which are spot on and in real time.

    I'm about an 8. Watch ESPN Friday Night Fights. Watch fights that show on channels I can't even name (DirectTV sports package). Watch amateurs (Golden Gloves) on the Madison Square Garden channel. All fights on HBO and Sho. Of course, order EVERY PPV, which I keep on the DVR and watch over and over and over. Keep the 24/7's, Face Off's, Ring Life's, etc. on the DVR, also. Haha... I keep three tabs open in my browser at all times - Eastside, FightHype, and Boxing Scene! :bbb

    its hard to see it in ireland without the channels (don't have sky and therefore no boxnation)

    but i make the effort to watch online and rarely miss a fight weekend so i'd say 8/10

    Buy pretty much all of the PPV's, what I can't buy I will stream, and what I miss I will catch up on later.

    Spend a great deal of my working day watching boxing. Got hella dvds I'm still yet to watch too

    Thank God for the internet

    Edit

    Speaking of which, I have an absolutely awful Roy Jones dvd, called something like the greatest ever counter puncher

    ....they put sound effects over the punches :/

    Not that much recent weeks only the live stuff, but im planning a project to study a division from beginning till now, I like to do this kind of stuff, its only difficult to start with all the other things going on, but once I get into a rhythm it should work out.
