Is boxing starting to die in america?

No American TV is dieing. National networks focused on unwanted programing, In a country where large crowds of weekend warriors used to gather around the tube to watch network boxing on Saturday and Sunday, now nobody even knows what's on in it's place. Fox sports once good for alot of fights, now it would suprise us thats it's still on the air, we haven't noticed

Spanish networks like univision and telemundo haven't even noticed that no one is watching them any more either. So ESPN2 and hbo/showtime is the only outlet and for many, our savior!

Hail the weekend warrior!

Its not in the mainstream as it once was, no. UFC is much more in the minds of young people, for sure. Times are changing, but boxing isnt going anywhere. Its just theres no *real* young, up-and-coming american fighters and that are getting people excited about boxing again. There are great guys I enjoy a lot, but outside of boxing circles no one knows who they are.

Just like the HW division needs someone like Tyson, America needs someone like Pacquiao.
