    No Boxing in Philly

    I got a question. WHy is it that a city (Philly) that has produced some of the greatest champs has no boxing. I'm a big boxing fan who lives right outside of Philadelphia. There is pro boxing once every two or three months at the Blue Horizon and aside from that 5 times a year they have crappy flyweights at the New Alhambra. To get any sort of fight related entertainment you would have to drive all the way to Atlantic City. I just think its ridiculous and wanted to hear what everyone thought.

        For some reason I can't think of the name of the building, but if you're driving north it'll be on your right as you come up on Southhampton. The signs advertising the fights should be posted in the Boulevard medians.

              They're all local fighters, northeast Philly guys, not even guys from other sections of Philly.
