What country do you think Boxing is most popular in?

Mexico and Puerto Rico...hands down!!

Viva Mexico! Cuba has alot of boxer but their government status is very hard to compete in the pro ranks All the Eastern European fighters that you see now once the USSR broke up

Boxing is tied for 4th in the USA right now and used to be tied for #1 in the 70s & 80s wit baseball

i never heard that their national team would be any good Yeh cause they center like 6'8.

Them dudes in the PI got game brotha. i never heard that their national team would be any good

basketball ?! them midgets cant play no ****in basketball :D Them dudes in the PI got game brotha.

In the UK there are only a few sports that could get 10 million plus figures on TV, since the 90's anyway; Football, obviously very popular over here. In fact 20 million plus during the World Cup is not unheard of. Snooker, perhaps not in a great state at the minute but during its peak had massive audiences on the BBC. Boxing, 15 million people watched Benn vs Eubank all those years ago. 600K bought Haye vs Harrison which is outstanding considering our population. These above sports could still be defined as the working class sports. Cricket, Rugby are big in terms of participants but would never get viewing figures around 15 million. Tennis is probably the biggest middle class sport.

....and boxing ? theres just this roided pacquiao.thats that

That's basically how it is in the Philippines. Boxing and Basketball. basketball ?! them midgets cant play no ****in basketball :D

Is boxing really big in the Phillipines, or is Pacquiao just big? I heard Basketball is bigger than Boxing, there. That's basically how it is in the Philippines. Boxing and Basketball.

cuba...bar none, when the revolution is over people, especially americans will realise just how big it is. Been there a couple of times and it is huge there, along with baseball...amazing country. Mexico also, and boxing is well followed and supported here in the UK.
