    Very popular here on the island. I tend to go to Caguas or Juncos if I want to hit up a gym though.

          Not very popular where I live. My area is dominated by baseball, football, basketball, and hockey.

            Mexico City, in Mexico we have 3 National TV channels that show boxing, sometimes we have 3 cards at the same time on Free TV, and we will have the Mayweather vs Marquez and Cotto vs Pacquiao for free and millions will be watching.

            And it has good ratings, if it didn't have them, then this channels wouldn't care to show boxing almost every saturday.

            So yes it's really popular here.

                I would say boxing is fairly popular where I live, not many hardcore fans but the area I live in is at least 70% Puerto Rican so alot of Cotto fans.

                    I'm going to be over there during Mayweather-Marquez so I'm glad when I think it was you who informed us that it would be shown in national television. Any word on how many fights they are going to show???
