How do people get interested in boxing other than upbringing?
I know for a lot of people, watching boxing starts at an early age with the family. How would people get interested in it other than that? Do they just happen to see it on tv and start watching? Is it because of the movies?
Answers:
The reason I like watching Boxing, is because every fight has a chance to make history. You never know what fight is going to be exciting or boring. You never know what to expect, because knockouts come out of no where. You just have to start learning about specific fighters, and root for the fighter you like. It's just like watching basketball, it's just not as fun watching 2 teams you have no feelings for.

Well, I have had neither an upbringing in boxing nor any boxing experience, but I am still interested in being a boxer just for fun. However, what makes me wait to actually try it out are my fears that I haven't worked out enough. I think I need to be more fit and have at least some more understanding of how boxing works because I don't want to go into the ring and start losing. That would be embarrassing. I'm sure it would also be painful; often, the prospect of pain is what puts people off for boxing. We've heard about those people who've gotten brain damage and bad things like that from boxing injuries.However, addressing your real question, I have to say that I got inspired to be a boxer from some people that I know some information about who like to box, such as Vivek Oberoi. He's an actor but used to box. I'm sure I was also inspired by movies and such romanticizing the sport, such as Cinderella Man. I even saw some episode from the Simpsons in which Homer boxes foolishly.
Nonetheless, the fact that I have my premonitions about inevitable injury and failure prove that such inspirations aren't enough to get me into the ring.
For one thing, boxing is a blue-collar sport- always has been and always will be. If you're living in suburbia, the less likely your kids will take boxing seriously. The streets is where the passion of boxing lies and where the greatest boxers were molded into champions. In suburbia, people do not have to fight as much to get what they want. If you wanna raise boxing-oriented kids, you have to instill a killer street instinct because its less about tv/movies as it is about socialization.
