View Full Version : Request for a Boxing forum GouRonin 03-15-2003, 08:01 PM I'd like to request a boxing forum in the "Western Martial Arts." There is a general part but I think that a specific forum could be dedicated to Boxing. Thank you. :iws: tarabos 03-15-2003, 10:19 PM if you want votes for one i'll give you mine. Elfan 03-15-2003, 11:57 PM As the general public probably considers "boxing" and "martial arts" to be different things (ie lots of boxers probably arn't going to a place called "martial talk" to discuss their art), what do you think the focus of discuion in this new forum would be? arnisador 03-16-2003, 12:04 AM There is some boxing traffic in the WMA forum, but the separate Fencing forum has not been very successful in attracting posts. Are there enough members with interest in boxing to populate such a forum? -Arnisador -MT Admin- GouRonin 03-16-2003, 12:13 AM I'd like to try. Bob Hubbard 03-16-2003, 04:26 AM You got it. 45 or so day trial...see what kind of traffic you can kick up in there. I want a 2-3 line description for it Gou... so, get cracking!

I believe Gous intent (Which he -will- clearify for the forum description like a good Gou) is amature and pro stuff, ala Ali, Tyson, etc. :) cali_tkdbruin 03-16-2003, 11:29 AM I'm a big fight fan, so yeah, I think it would be cool to have a boxing forum here. If you're cramped for space and since fencing is not doing well, why not replace it with some boxing discussion? You have my vote. Boxing IS by the way a martial art... :boxing: tarabos 03-16-2003, 12:00 PM always something happening in the boxing world. shouldn't be hard to find something to talk about. GouRonin 03-16-2003, 01:36 PM To be fair though I think that Boxing deserves it's place far more than Fencing does. Nothing against Fencing but in terms of popularity there are more boxers. arnisador 03-16-2003, 02:23 PM Originally posted by GouRonin To be fair though I think that Boxing deserves it's place far more than Fencing does. Nothing against Fencing but in terms of popularity there are more boxers. True--at least in North America. (How popular is fencing in Italy and Spain? I don't know.) We had thought that there'd be more interest in fencing! It may end up folded back into the WMA-General forum at some point. Hopefully the Boxing forum will do well! -Arnisador -MT Admin- |
