Make no mistake, boxing is in trouble. The young audience refuses to be won over. Can the sport learn anything from the phenomenal success of the World Wrestling Federation? STEVE FARHOOD examines an increasingly worrying set of circumstances

Professional wrestling's Rock-solid fan base is teenage males and young adult males. According to HBO's Seth Abraham, who in May launched the late-afternoon weekend boxing show KO Nation to attract a younger viewership, boxing's largest audience is males aged 50 and up. A pathetic three percent of American males aged 18-24 watch boxing or attend live matches.

This was from an older article . I'm assuming the stats are about the same when comparing MMA and boxing today. This means that the BOXING FANS are dieing off.


I'm trying to figure out what the boxing demographic is on this message board. Post your current age and how long you've been a boxing fan.

Youngin',

then be mature enough to read more then just the title of a thread. Similarly, read a book once in a while unstead of just the title so you're not part of the dumbed down generation of younglins.

Not so well I couldn't hit the heavy bag because I ****ed it up. I jogged 2 miles today then checked my weight,but only to find out I gained 2 pounds.
