Boxing is dead in The UK.

[Talisayen]

Snooker is bigger than Darts.

It's huge in Britain.

Bigger than billards?

Only beacse it's on the BBC. Darts is on SKY. Grand Slam of Darts on ITV will out do snooker. Lets agree the disagree with each other tho. lol

Well, either way - it's bigger than Boxing.

We only have channel showing boxing now and that's Sky. ITV4 aren't going to renew and there is some BBC campaign going on.

Really does suck to be a British boxing fan right now.

Bigger than billards?

Well, it's about the same size as cycling and rowing.

It's probably as big as rugby is in the Philippines.

I laugh tho when Americans pretend we hype our fighters up like mad tho lol.. go ask any brit in the street to name 5 boxers they will say Ricky hatton and maybe Amir Khan (due to him being on the bbc for olympics and itv)

Carl Froch limited tho he maybe has actually done pretty ****ing well recently but no1 knows who the **** he is go ask 100 ppl i bet 1 in 100 will know him. Dude didn't even get on UK tv for his big fight with Jermain Taylor

But TS you are right boxing is dying here not enough on BBC/ITV or enough exposure, it would be very popular imo if it was.

Like I've said, time and time before. The only person that hypes our fighters is our promoters and so they should.

Wank Warren is the worse though, the names of the PPVs he gives to Khan's fights are absurd. ' The Man That Would Be King ' when he's fighting Kotelnik.



I was on a gaming forum the other day, talking to some users. They seem to think that Khan is one of the best, they don't have the slightest clue about Cotto or Pacquaio.

The only names they know that aren't British is Mayweather. Even then I bet they had to Wikipedia him.

Last year was better indeed.

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.

You're American though, but claim being Ukrainian because your great great great great great Grandad was from the Ukraine.
