Boxing is doing a lot of Positive, Dont concentrate on the Negative.

Also no one should complain it's not "mainstream." It's on TV three or four nights per week, and you can get the rest on download.
The situation has never been better. In the 80's it was big but you had less access.
And the HW division is not in a slump, it's just been dominated by non-Americans. So is tennis but that's certainly not in a slump.Comment

I could not be a boxing fan without the internet. Being able to download fights the day after they happen is awesome and one of the best things on this forum. There must be tons of people, like me, who watched casually before but now take it more seriously because they have access to fights they never would have had.Also no one should complain it's not "mainstream."

Exactly. If it were on more mainstream television it would have a bigger audience, but the current setup is best for those of us who follow closely. We get the European cards on livestream Saturday afternoons, HBO or Showtime Saturday night, FNF or WNF during the week, Versus on Thursday, Classic late nights, and an endless wealth of downloads.
