So, a friend of mine always argue about football vs. boxing

Football brings in more money than boxing because Americans have poor taste in sport. We are the only ones who make such a huge deal out of such a mediocre game. The reason? Because Americans on average are the heaviest, lardiest mothers in the world and being large is the only thing Joe American is great at. Seriously. I knew so many people in HS who were like 6'3" and 260 lbs with not a drop of athleticism in them, but they could play linebacker in football. Don't worry though, you're friend is wrong about what matters; boxing kicks the living shit out of football. Truer words have never been spoken!Excellent post!

hmmm, yeah, I always wondered that....cus as far as I know, American football is just in America. I've never seen it in any other country. But boxing is in so many countries and there are so many different bodies (wbc,wbo,etc.) that contribute to the sport. So I thought that taking that into consideration boxing might actually make more than football having so much more exposure.

Football as a sport take a big chunk of change more but when a fighter makes 30mil in one fight... well thats only in boxing.

i think football takes in more.iam assuming that you are talking about american football, if so they have billion dollar tv contracts.

well think of it in a per/fight basis. DLH got 30 million for one night. The purse can be ridiculous compared to football. Tell yourslef that there are multiple payperviews being sold in 1 month. While football is free on cable. They don't even make you pay for a superbowl. But I know commercials pay mad money for a 30 sec spot. I dunno, you can look at it in different ways.
