No RING MAGAZINE or BOXING Magazines????

[Feint]

i mean wasnt the whole point of OSCAR OWNING the RING magazine was to help promote boxing and bring it back to the masses and help make the magazine itself more appealing and popular? WTF? OSCAR?

Don't blame Oscar too much as he gave the magazine more publicity than it has arguably had in years. In any case it's up to the store's buyers to decide what magazines they purchase to sell in their stores for customers. For whatever reason stores aren't that interested in purchasing the magazine.

One of the biggest reasons for the lack of interest in the magazine stems from the Internet. While other sports occur on a daily and weekly basis, boxing matches takes months to happen. Because of that while other sports magazines can stay relatively current, by the time a new boxing magazine has come out the information has been given and rehashed over the Internet hundreds of times. There is simply no realistic way a boxing magazine can keep up.

I know of 2 Barnes and Nobles bookstore that sells Ring mag. I usually buy mine at a newstand. Planning to subscribe in the future, i believe its a few dollar cheaper.

havent seen a new Boxing Digest either.

I have never seen a copy the Ring at Barnes and Noble, Borders, or any other major chain for that matter. Occasionally there will be some sort of boxing magazine, ie Boxing Digest etc.

Then again, I live in Minnesota...not exactly a hotbed of boxing fans and interest.

The only place I have seen it stocked is Walmart, and even then the issue in question was waaay out of date.

Something tells me that boxing magazines on the newsstand sell very poorly. If you start to see boxing magazines well stocked and prominently displayed, you'll know that the sport has made its true resurgence.

Before I subscribed I get my RING and BOXING magazines from Barnes and Nobles....sometimes you have to hurry coz they run out of supplies quick. Finding no RING and a bunch of MMA magazines just means that nobody is buying the MMA magazine in your area.

I used to subscribe to a bunch of Magazines, but lately I get all my info from the net..

Internet is the greatest invention ever!!!!!

Thanx Al Gore
