    Due to a lack of exciting fighters, it's not as popular in Mexico as it was seven or eight years ago either.

            Boxing is huge in Quebec. I can't speak for all the Canada, but in Quebec with two world class champion in Bute and Pascal and one of the best, if not the best, middleweight prospect in David Lemieux, boxing has never been that good in Quebec.

            Since Eric Lucas, I haven't seem that much people talk about boxing.

            Having world class boxer in the province makes change from those old Davey Hilton jr vs Stephane Ouellet bush league fight.

              That's horse****.

              Boxing was pretty much dying on the vine in Mexico until they got boxing back on network, now it's getting huge ratings and has become a national pastime again.

                boxing in Australia is total garbage.
