Would Boxing die out if...

There were no American Title Holders?
Is america the be all and end all of Boxing?

[Ironside]

There is no HW title holders, and people are saying HW division is garbage and so on, it would probably die out in America, until the next big star comes.

The USA represents 4% of the World's population... If The USA dissapeared would the world even notice???

i agree there is way bigger markets than the usa but people have just not had the ambition to find it yet.

Boxing would lose popularity in the US, but not over the world. It will never die out.

It's popular in Mexico, Columbia, Quebec, the Phillipines, Germany, etc. and will continue to be.

You love to bash America or say something similar to the above quite often I see. Unsure why.

But on to the question, I can't say it would die out but it would make less money I imagine. It tends to be good business and makes things interesting when different countries are represented. Look at the stir created between Mayweather - Hatton and Hopkins - Calzaghe. Americans are going to be tuning in and paying up to watch the fights as well as the other countries. I'm sure more Pinoys watch boxing now that Pacquaio is one of the greatest out there and its safe to say Americans are doing the same with champions such as Mayweather and Hopkins. Without them there'll be less business.

wut is your beef with us "yanks".. i swear most of the UK people have a thing against our country.. wuts that all about?? we conquered u centuries ago, so stop cryin about it man..

a champ is a WORLD champ, not an American champ.. so no. it wouldnt die down..

it wouldnt die out but interests would be minimal in the states. As more time passes, we are seeing more and more Foreign champions that mainstream Amurrica cant or wont relate too.
