Boxing is dead in The UK.

Yeah, a gaming forum.

It's funny to be on a FNR4 forum?

Ok, cool.

nope your american, if you live in america and are american citizen like you probably are then you are american.

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

It's no more or less dead than 5 years ago.

Boxing has been a niche sport in the Uk for decades, less than 1% of the population know any current boxers bar Hatton, Khan and Zag.

oh and i'm a total Geek, i play MMO's for 20+ hours a week, it's better than watching the ****e on TV.

I still love boxing though. In fact i love most sports, including some US ones, NASCAR ****s all over F1 and American Football is entertaining.

If I had a pound for every boxing is dead thread, I'd be a slumdog millionaire.

I can't comment on NASCAR as I despise all motor sports, but American Football?? Entertaining? Are you on crack per chance??

No joke! I use to read this all the time on Boxing Scene and I thought it was a load of rubbish, people trying to make a tread to be argumentative. The Truth is though it is in the UK. I can tell you the name of half the players in the Premier-League and who they are playing next. I couldn’t do that without boxing though. I mean in the daily newspapers there is like 20 pages of football and about once a week one page on boxing. This week is was on Muhammad Ali and Ricky Hatton in Manchester.

To tell the truth Boxing Scene is the only place I can get boxing news in the UK. There is no media coverage what so ever. Sky Sports don’t even advertise fights any more. I don’t even know last time ITV or the BBC showed a fight or watched boxing for that matter.

In terms of quality of fighters and boxing match ups it’s great. Can the average person tell you who and when these are fighting? I say not. I don’t even know when Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez are fighting, yet alone what channel to be frank.

For instance I know when UFC is on because Bravo/ESPN is always advertising it. Even Sky Sports is starting to.

I don’t have time for Boxing Scene no more or look it up on Boxrec. So how am I meant to be an avid fan? What I need is it for me to pick the paper up at work a read it there. That is were your problem and mine lies there. There is no coverage what so ever. I know there are amazingly talented fighters out there and some epic fight. No one ever knows about them tho!

Have to somewhat agree with the coverage they show over here. You rarely see any fights advertised apart from big fights such as Pac/Floyd. The only way to keep up with boxing is to find live stream to watch fights....the only fights you get to see here is BIG fights other than that theres nothing! Now setanta has went down here it's even worse. UFC is reletively easy to find and watch but boxing? theres very rarely any fights shown...things need to change to keep fans interested and keep watching because at the moment they are failing big time to keep the sport alive...

I lived in the Ukraine till I was 7. I am an American citizen because it is clearly the most superior country in the world.
