What seperates a Hard Core fan from a Casual fan?

A casual fan will just watch the big fights and follow the big names, a hardcore fan watches every fight and has an interest in all fighters.

 

I would say the casual will only watch the biggest of fights, but still won't follow the big name fighters like throughout the year or even through training camp.

 

The coaches in my club don't watch fights, maybe the odd one, but they know boxing inside and out. I wonder if they would be considered casuals lol

 

Don’t know the answer to the question and don’t really care but the “casual” fan is what pays the bills. The whole concept of trying to belittle someone as casual is lame anyways.

 

Simple. How much one invests in it. Is watching boxing your thing, or are you watching because you like all sports? That kinda stuff for me.

 

Casuals will think one of mayweather, Manny, Mike Tyson, Fury, canelo etc is the GOAT,certainly modern casuals

 

The willingness to go 100 pages on TKO6 and the heart to pick it all up again at the drop of a glove.

Or is that insanity?

Hard to tell around here

 

The six point spread between C.J. Ross' scorecard for PBF-Canelo, and mine. Depending on which you're nearer to, you either DKSAB or you do.

 

Ha,ha,ha,,,,wasn't long ago I had to tell the wife, can't go out tonight, the fights on and I want to see the undercard.

 

I used to routinely tell my wife all that, verbatim.







She is no longer my wife.

 

The quantity of Fury merchandise they own

 

We're in agreement...sort of.

 

Casuals think boxing began around 1988

 

Nah, maybe one circle of less hardcore fans, but things are relative... a true casual to me wouldn't even know who, say, Pernell Whitaker or Vasiliy Jirov are, while only knowing ODLH and Hopkins for instance as the heads of GBP and not from watching their primes. The most recent garden variety would have been drawn into the sport by Jake & Logan Paul, while the older crop were attracted by the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao hype or something else mainstream (like the Contender reality show).
