    Darts yes but not snooker. It's only beacuse of the personalities and great atmosphere darts is so liked. Anything can happen in darts! Also due to it's extensive advertising it is well spectated and watched on TV. Something that boxing has not got. I watch the Las Vegas classic and if there was no Brits there, the room would be silent.

      What about your personal experiences?

      Out of all the people you know, how many actually have a decent amount of knowledge of the sport?

      Or how many go, ' Yea, dat was a sick KO ' and are only interested in that aspect of the sport. In which case, UFC offers that in abundance.

        this post proves how much americans HATES brittish and european. americans will NEVER give respect to fighters from britain or europe. ALL americans are XENOPHOBIC IGNORANT and HATE britain and europe. the americans racist behavior towards people from britain and europe is DISGRACEFUL.

          That stinks that you can't watch boxing. You might want to move over here.

            Snooker is bigger than Darts.

            It's huge in Britain.

              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
              Like I say if I havn't got time to come on Boxing Scene how will I ever know when it is?

                Yeah, well next time you want to keep calling British/English fighters hypejobs you should realise what they have to go through to earn a decent wage.

                Lets not forget how ridiculous the tax is. I think it's something like 50% of a boxers earnings gets taxed.

                  Whenever there is a big boxing fight I get some friends coming over to watch the fight but then I might not be the best representative of the Brit Population.It's possible that my friends also happen to be boxing fans or are only interested in the popular fights.
