Is that fixed on the word "boxing"? Because I noticed that those are nearly all countries who uses the term "boxing" in their language...for example, Spanish speaking countries (ok, you have PR on that list) say "boxeo", French and Italian say "boxe", German "boxen"...

Old news, everyone knows Fijians, Kiwis and Iraqis are carrying the sport

[BoxingChaos]

I can't believe Mexico did not make the list, either as a people we are too poor, to lame or uninterested, this is another clear sign that PBF vs JMM will do PISS POOR in numbers, what is the so called cash cow going to do? The only way to save this is by bringing back ODLH on very short notice to fight any bum, they should have a sweepstake and the winner get's to fight ODLH on short notice. lol

Sorry PBF, your PPV numbers are going to all out dimal.

I am going to laugh my ass off too.
