    Is boxing the nineth most popular sport in America

    ESPN sports nation did a poll and boxing came in 9th. The list went...

    1-NFL
    2-College Football
    3-Baseball
    4-College basketball
    5-NBA
    6-NHL
    7-MMA
    8-Tennis
    9-Boxing
    10-European soccer

    What do you think? Do you agree with this poll? I know in NJ where I live Boxings bigger than Tennis but smaller than European soccer.

        Thanks to the bullshit politics and boxers not wanting to take risks. It's going to keep moving lower and lower.

            I live in NJ also it looks about right except tennis should be lower and basketball should be top 3 where i live...

            IMO
            1-Boxing
            2-European Soccer & International Soccer
            and idgaf about the rest of the other sports

                  Why are the same sports listed twice?
                  Just because it's college mean it's a different sport. That said I think the whole fascination with college sports is the ******est thing
