There are boxing fans, and there are fans of the UFC. People want to see blood, but people like both.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a fan, I like watching fighters rather than boxers.
You look at boxing being an international, world-famous sport, right up there next with soccer, and there's only two fighters the people want to see fight. Two little fellows, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
I think its so good for boxing when a new guy or new blood as we call it, makes a big statement.
I think it's fair to say I've always been a boxing fan.
Boxing should focus on pitting champion versus champion - those are the fights that everyone wants to see. The sports also needs to work on developing new heroes and personalities. I'd like to see more vignettes on fighters, focusing on their lives, goals and stories. Boxers need to be larger than life.
A boxing match is like a cowboy movie. There's got to be good guys and there's got to be bad guys. And that's what people pay for - to see the bad guys get beat.
I know MMA isn't for everyone. It is a combat sport; some people don't like watching it, but it is entertainment for some people.
I love watching 'UFC' - Ultimate Fighting Championship - I don't know why, because I'm more of a coward than a fighter, but I seem to be very drawn to these blokes actually smashing each other to bits.
I think the beauty and mystery of boxing is just the immediacy of how it reveals people unlike anything else.
Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.
