Not one boxer out now even gets a mention or a cover on ESPN magazine everyone hates boxing in America its a shame.

The problem is that Boxing is simply not as popular as it once was in the US. Most US athletes go into basketball or football - two sports that are more lucrative, not as lonely nor dangerous.

As Bob Arum said, "If Muhammed Ali grew up in these times, he'd have been a tight end."

Yeah, but just because Arum is a faggott and stated publicly his wishful thinking is no reason to assume boxing isn't popular.
