The Casual Boxing Fans

The Casual Boxing Fans

By M.DeTyrone

What are the things you will find in these so-called casual boxing fans? They don’t care if the boxer uses performance enhancement drugs, weight advantages, illegal hand wraps, illegal gloves, or any dirty tactics. They will rationalize any situation to justify the illegal actions of their boxer, they are very pseudo-nationalistic and racist, sadistic to the point that they enjoy the suffering of another boxer under unfair circumstances; they lack boxing knowledge from knowing how to score a boxing match to its history. They create fictitious records of victories and defeats, and they are void of any reality or any reason. They don’t know the differences between boxing styles, and they want entertainment, which is at many times sadistic in nature. Above all, the boxing media easily manipulates them. They love to create boxing juggernauts and monsters, especially, if they strongly hate a particular boxer in a division.

The perfect example was the casual fans and the Pac Man fans, which suckered and played by the boxing media and the boxing business into believing Pac Man was this threat for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Everyone that followed boxing and understood boxing had the mindfulness; that once Juan Manuel Marquez had savagely KO’d Pacquiao it was over and done. The true boxing fans also understood that Pac Man had been in a steady decline since 2010 right after the allegations began to surface about the use of performance enhancement drugs. That never stopped many in the boxing media really focusing on personal attacks and promoting “Pac Man” as this big giant threat. Ranking Pacquiao, in many of the pound for pound list as #2 best boxers in the world, which was all part of the propaganda.

Many in the boxing media beholden to the boxing industry pushed forward the narrative and many times hateful articles that had nothing to do with boxing against Floyd Jr. The Pacquiao fan base and casual fans ate it all. Thus, creating an environment and a consensus reality that Pacquiao was “The Man.”

After the fight was over the boxing media, the boxing industry needed an excuse or various excuses, immediately. Why was their chosen boxer and media darling Pacquiao dominated so convincingly? Thus, the narrative pushed by some in the boxing media “Floyd Jr. was running” “The fight was boring” “that’s not boxing” blah… blah…blah… Within hours came the damage control you’ve to understand that the boxing media needs to be relevant year’s back they reported on boxing the current majority of boxing commentators, journalist no longer report boxing events. They influence and manipulate the regular fans casual fans with good old fashion bandwagon propaganda, and through social media, the more casual fans become the target.

They understand that the casual fans don’t understand Ring Generalship, which is the skill of exercising command and control of the boxing ring and opponent’s attack. For them boxing is a street fight on television with two people that train for 3 months and beat up on each other senseless. Casual fans don’t understand defense, footwork, bobbing and weaving, parrying, counter- punching etc… They can’t comprehend that boxing is about the control of distance, space, timing, and momentum.

The casual fans since played and suckered into believing a false reality had no other reason and being ignorant, they begin to hate a boxer and a boxing style, helped by the boxing media claiming that Canelo vs. Kirkland (a glorified street fight) was the redeeming fight of boxing. According to some in the boxing media, they’re in the clear and boxing can move on James Kirkland sacrificed to the boxing Gods and now things will back to normal.

The problem is that the boxing media seems to create these boxing monsters to gain more fans that are casual and generate interest and money. They have sold out the sport, they are killing the sport from the inside, and they are making it more entertainment for nationalist or jingoist and low boxing IQ casual fans.

There’s a long history of many in the boxing media. Creating all this hyped boxers to generate money and further their careers that were then defeated by sound intelligent boxing.

Nonito Donaire was once this invincible boxer the darling of the many in the boxing media. He was a superstar ranked top three in the pound for pound lists the heir apparent to this Pacquiao legacy. Until he fought, the pure boxer / boxer-puncher Guillermo Rigondeaux making those commentators and boxing journalist look stupid when Rigondeaux schooled him.

Lucas Matthysse once created into this monster juggernaut KO machine the majority in the boxing media. You would hear the commentators on the networks scream “The Machine” “The Rise of the Machine” the boxing magazines declared him the best 140 lbs. fighter in the world with no world title. Until he fought Danny Garcia and he shut all the jingoist racist fans that can’t stand a Puerto Rican boxer win anything, and the casual fans all shut down. 

This will continue the casual fan base creates their own standards for scoring fights, invents fictitious records for boxers, and is irrational to the point of insanity. They are void of any reality or any reason and in their mind; the boxing media, which promote glorified street or tough man contest, validates it all.
