What is considered a boxing town???

Vegas is considered by many the boxing capital of the world but to my knowledge there's only 2 boxing gyms there and 1 of them is private.(excuse me if this wrong) I went to watch boxing while in Vegas thinking one of the big hotels sports bars would be screening it and none of them were. They were showing some bouncyball game instead. Honestly, I don't think there is such a thing as a boxing town. Maybe somewhere in Cuba or Mexico but probably not even then. Team sports take precedence almost everywhere.

so to answer the TS question, I go by fan support, attraction, IQ towards the sport and the atmosphere they give towards the fights and cards.

been to fights in Puerto Rico, NY, Las Vegas, Atlantic City & Miami. All atract great crowds but if I was to pick top amongst them, Imma say Vegas & the weakest is Miami. I was impressed with New York though. The Garden was a great atmosphere leading up to the Cotto-Margarito II fight.

Caguas is home to the Bairoa Gym, one of the most important*boxing gyms*in allPuerto Rico.

A boxing town is a place that has cards, that not only attract large crowds, but where you can feel a tangible buzz in the arena and leading up to the fight. Montreal Manchester Los Angeles

Sinaloa Mexico. Thats a state bro but a couple of years ago, a city in Sinaloa called Los Mochis would rival any of the usual mexican boxing cities like mexico city, guadalajara or tijuana. It produced the likes of humberto soto, the arce brother, the montiel family, soto karass brothers, all of which have seen better days but also have a couple of up and comers.

How about this. Im from san jose ca, they have small shows ocassionaly. Nothing big. Biggest card ive seen put on here was andre ward's 13th fight against some scrub, co heaslined by antillon vs bobby pacquiao. But there are 4 boxing gyns, 2dozen mma gyms that also teach boxing, and I have some buddies that teach boxing at local rec centers to at-risk kids. So a very substancial percentage of the population has some degree of boxing training. Would we be considered a boxing town??

But philly is pretty much 1 of the most common examples of a boxing town...yet when was the last time they had a big show there?? And what about smaller towns like youngstown ohio or lowell massachusetts that have boxing gyms on every corner but just dont have fights put on there. There's 3 Arenas here where boxing is held frequently, they're kinda small for a big event, but we also have a bigger arena. Hopkins had a fight here where fought in the Liacouras center which can hold 10K people, I personally don't understand why they haven't use that center as Boxing Mega event center. It's located in Temple University and the area is very well lit. The last show here was the first NBCsports boxing of this year, but to be honest, this is more of a Phillies and Eagles town right now, everything else is second.

To me a boxing town is a town that produces a lot of fighters, like Philadelphia, NYC, Detroit, Sheffield, Los Mochis, etc.

Sinaloa Mexico.

A boxing town is considered by how many fans they attract to the stadium/arena/casino. Even for the smaller shows, if they still attract fans that is considered a boxing town.

Any place but Houston!
