      We only get one card a month, you get it twice a week.
      You do realize the only people that watch FNF and WNF are the posters on Boxing Scene and East Side Boxing, right?

      You had 25K come over to America to watch Ricky Hatton fight.

        If however you call yourself a boxing fan and you dont know the channel showing Marquez then we might need to ask your definition of fan

          As opposed to the petulant child that is happy that throwing a dart at a board is more popular in the UK than men fighting in a ring.

            That's 24,990 people who flew over for a good time. The other 10 people actually flew out to watch a boxing match.

              You couldn't pay 25 Americans 25K to go to England, much less for a boxing match.

                It's not a phase, boxing is fucked.

                UFC is bigger than boxing already, boxing will never recover.

                  What about PR, Cuba and those countries?
                  But then we compete in so many other sports that I'm not sure PR competes in.I also mentioned that maybe comparing to the USA

                    You speak in definite terms so maybe you have information that we all do not have.
