What sport is more popular in America: Boxing or Soccer?

The sport they suck least in. So it better be boxing because they're absolutely ***** in football. It's a cultural thing more than anything. For instance, Americans are pretty decent at hockey, but don't care about the sport that much. As someone who grew up on hockey, American football, and basketball, watching a football match is very difficult for me. I do appreciate the skill, however.

I think that participation rates are certainly higher among US and Canadian youth, but it is way down on the totem poll in terms of popularity as a spectator sport. Still I would hazard a guess that there are more soccer fans in America than boxing fans.

He meant Field hockey you dumb ****. The 3rd most popular sport on earth. Also Pakistan has more wins against India. ODI and Tests. We are only behind in T20. Pakistan has won the world cup in both cricket and field hockey. Which are among the top 3 most popular sports in the world. Usa has not Won a single world cup. Mexico Also= 0 Ermm... the dude you're replying to might well be dead by now man, this thread's as old as the pyramids. Just sayin.:lol1:

Hockey??? not on ice your not....lol Cricket?? Didn't you just get your asses handed to you by your daddy India 5-0? Boxing?? You have 1 champ, relax Amir. The U.S would literally run Pakistan off the field in soccer, seriously. He meant Field hockey you dumb ****. The 3rd most popular sport on earth. Also Pakistan has more wins against India.

It's obviously boxing.

****ing hell, if bowling is bigger than boxing then you must have it pretty bad over there!!

I bet you like fast paced action sports like Ping Pong. What you call Ping Pong...Table-Tennis is actually, if you ever knew anything about it, one of the fastest games in Sport. I'm not talking about fooling around on the dining room table, or on a cheap table in the basement, but competitive Table-Tennis. It was a more cultured, stylish, beautiful strokes game when I was involved, but ever since the Japanese and Chinese revolutionised the game by inventing new kinds of rubber, and physical training etc, it has become so fantastic, speed wise that I rarely look at it now. Had a back operation and stopped playing about 15 years ago. It was my favourite sport of all. Would travel anywhere, break into any closed sports pavilion where they had a table and good lights, just to play. In fact I even brough my bats with me to Panama, in case I might find somewhere where a retired, slow moving guy can play.

Soccer for all the kids. And whats sad is, horse racing, nascar, bowling, texas holdem, and 16 and pregnant(mtv has officially made it a sport now) are all much much more popular than boxing.

I woudnt pay $60 to watch a soccer game. Soccer's boring. I like how the announcer tries to explain "strategy" during a game. There is none: just kick the ball! Theres so many turnovers, you dont have time to implement a strategy. Baseball sucks too! I gotta watch the pitcher stare at the plate, chewin tobacco, nodding and shaking his head while he decides to throw 1 pitch. Finally he throws one...foul ball. Fukk! Here we go again!! Another 5 min while he does this shiit again! Seriously!? An outfielder can literally play an entire game without doing a damn thing...if the pitcher goes for a no-hitter. Thats bs.

To be honest, the standard of football in America is pretty poor and there is no atmosphere in the stadiums. If you watched a game in Europe, you would find it much more entertaining. I am a big football fan myself and I would probably be bored watching an MLS game.. Yup.. Im a casual soccer fan.. World cup is the best sport event.. But our leave is un watchable.. I'd rather watch the Mexican league.. If u want to see some real talent watch those Europe teams.

btw I went to a soccer game in Seattle, to a Seattle Sounders or whatever their called at Qwest stadium, holy **** that was boring as ****. The game ended at 0-0 just kicked the **** back and forth for hours **** I kept looking at my watch like when the **** is this **** going to end **** me!

I guess it depends on which state your in.. But I'd say it has to be boxing..

REAL football is, not that sh*t the US play, is the best and most popular sport on the planet. The only sport americans like to play are those they can win at. American football, baseball, ice hockey are all terrible terrible sports. baseball is rounders for gayboys and steroid abusers. the beautiful game is all you need oh and f*ck NASCAR, man those cars are slow

Boxing by a hair. I can get my friends to watch a fight, but the only soccer we watch is the world cup.

i bet you like fast paced action sports like ping pong. hahaahahahaahahhahahaha

We've got nuclear bombs, Mexico hasn't. http://www.stringcat.com/adblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/haha.gif This is true and scary at the same time.

wazza trying to claim Khan as a Pakistani.

It has to be 'soccer' doesn't it? If the same amount of kids took up boxing instead of 'soccer' surely America would be running things in all divisions. Then again, isn't it just the wimpy white kids that play soccer in America. Y'know, not any kids with those fast twitch muscle fibers.

it is probably boxing...but both sports are rated VERY LOW in America but if you really think about it, BOXING IN GENERAL has never been all that big...ONLY CERTAIN FIGHTERS! not true at all Boxing from 1920-1970 in America was one of the biggest sports. :boxing:
