How Can Boxing get more WHITE viewers and Fans?

[ExecutiveOutlaw]

Just Finished watching the UFC on spike and the audience was 98 percent white many were frat boys and hot white girls.

how can Boxing tap into this market its obviously very lucrative...any thoughts?

easy. exciting, talented white fighters like pavlik

and/or extremely controversial yet equally exciting boxers like tyson or ali

i mean seriously...what would happen if you called an indian (as in from india) an asian...yes they are mixed with asians but they arent asain.

get it?

indians are asians. us americans just usually dont refer to them as that, but i know europeans do

americans usually associate asain with oriental, which technically is incomplete

It makes sense since that show last night was here in Colorado. I didn't even know that it was going to be here. Actually the first two UFC event's of all time were here. There aren't too many of my friends that are even in too boxing except for a few of my fellow mexican friends, but all my white friends are into UFC. Plus whenever I go to a bar to watch the fights it's usually packed with a majority of white people.

I know if Boxing had a few more really good white fighters then boxing would probably be even bigger here in the states, but Im fine with it. I grew watching boxing so Im gonna stick to it and not jump ship and join the fad.

Simple, more top level white fighters from the states. And good TV exposure for them.

domain this thread is dumb, and i've noticed somthing about the ufc, somthing i hadn't picked up till now. More and more people are covering ufc, but strangly enough more and more people are also covering boxing. I think the ufc being as big as it is or getting is a good thing for boxing cause the ufc success is bringing in more boxing coverage and i think more fans to boxing from the ufc. And i think it helps that the ufc owner always trys to put down boxing, just keeps ufc fans thinking about boxing.

UFC will die out. I'd rather boxing not become a fad like UFC. Toughman was pretty popular back when I was a kid. It died. I personally dont watch it because I dont like seeing guys mount each other. Five years from now you'll probably look back and say to your buddies, "remember when UFC was big?".
