    One that only pays for PPV when it's actually worth it and would never buy something **** like Pavlik vs. Espino.

    A huge one. I started watching boxing when I was about 10 and instantly thought it was the best thing I had ever seen. When I was young I was mostly just a Roy Jones jr. fan, I would watch friday night fights every week and any other boxing that was on TV but the biggest excitment came when RJJ was fighting. I remember in grade 6 the boys were arguing over who was going to win between Tyson and Holyfeild, of course they all chose Tyson, but I went went with Holyfeild. For a while I became a casual fan, I would get the big De La Hoya fights, and every RJJ fight and would sometimes watch FNF. Eventually in my late teens I almost stopped watching boxing all together, that lasted maybe year or so, until the contender came on. I watched it religously and I became a casual fan of the sport again. I tuned into De La Hoya vs. Mayweather and found out that the next week Kelly Pavlik was fighting, I had seen his pro debut on FNF and a couple of his other fights along the way and I remembered liking his style. So the next week I tuned into Pavlik vs. Miranda and I thought it was incredible I actually stood up and cheered, although the Tavlor vs. Spinks fight was awful I continued to watch boxing. And after Pavlik vs. Taylor I've pretty much been a crazed fan.

    One who loves the sport itself & does not have blind hero worship of any one fighter.

    Same. Even though I love RJJ I'm willing to admit his faults and agree he should retire. What ruins these boards are people who are just fans of one person and not the sport itself.
     
  13. The kind that trolls internet forums.

    I'm obsessed.

    Watch everything on TV.
    I am ordering Pavlik-Espino tomorrow. But, I don't necessarily order all crap PPV's. I'm more ordering it cause I like Pavlik and there won't be anything on for like 3 weeks.
    I added the DirecTV spanish package last week so I could get Pascal-Diaconu 2.
    I trade fights with people overseas to watch everything I can.
    I attend all local cards and go to Vegas once a year for a big fight.
    I work out at a boxing gym once a week.

    Yes, I'm obsessed.
