I liked De La Hoya when he was an actual boxer, something he hasn't been for a long time, since fighting Quartey maybe.

Chups thinks Pacquiao draws alot of boxing fans and is 2nd or 3rd behind Oscar.... I cant stop cracking up at that ****, exposed himself of not knowing ****.
Pacquiao draws his countrymen not every boxing fan.
If it wasnt for Morales the fight wouldnt of made 1 Million with the trilogy.Comment

None of ANY of the Things people have mentioned matter.. IF we are not here discussing it..
More people are able to follow the sport becasue of the INTERNET..
When promoters make a press release Every Boxing site on the NET posts it..
Sports news dont cover it.. Most newspapers dont cover it..
The only REAL PRESS Boxing gets in on THE INTERNET...
Boxing has NO marketing stragey as a whole.. nor is it considered a top Sport
It's not taught in colleges.. people do NOT get Boxing scholarships..
Without the NET boxing would more Obscure than you can imagine.. And I doubt there would too many new fans ... This site alone is PROOF of what I am talking about..Comment

The internet has been around for 10+ years. What makes this year different from 3 years ago? But I would have to agree. If it weren't for the internet I wouldnt know all the details I know now going into the fights.... which makes it 10 times better watching it.Originally posted by Welter_Skelter View PostComment

Well if you consider That I have been a Boxing Fan since 1980.. Then During the 80's Boxing was on every weekend on FREE TV and even during the week sometimes.. The news papers covered ..The news covered it..Originally posted by rellik13 View Post
By the mid to late 90's Big fights were exclusively PPV affairs.. Which is what Killed the sport... less people could watch it.. especially young people.. So new fans were not being genrerated and Old fans were being turned off becasue they were sick of shelling out 30 bucks for a 1st round KO mismatch...
The main stream stopped paying attention.. Mike Tyson being the "unoffical"
spokesperson for the sport didnt help matters..
In the last 10 or so years there has been a constant upswing in boxings popularity.. right around the time the Internet started to become a common thing in average households.. As the The internet connections became more common.. So did Boxing's popularity rise..
I cant think of any other factor that has played more of a role in not only increasing boxing's popularity.. But also SAVING it from total obscurity...
Where else can you get a PPV fight free of charge less than 24 hours after it was fought???
Where else can you watch some fight that matters .. but is being fought in Germany and not shown on American or British TV??? where else can I get a copy of RJJ vs Prince Adumu on demand???... The internetComment
