    are you assuming?????????? Do you have any proof?

    What about all the professional Boxing matches that happen in New York and the New York Golden Gloves that have been going on since 1920?

      No Soccer, The NFL, MLB, and NBA are all lightyears ahead of Boxing and UFC combined but the diffrence between boxing an MMA is consistancy. UFC consistantly draws while with boxing it's either a big event every blue moon or it's 3,000 seat room at some Indian casino. I love both sports to death the diffrence being I can look at it from a nuetral standpoint and not a fan boy of either.

          What about them Im not taking club Level boxing into consideration because UFC doesn't do club boxing events anymore it's to big for that so why compare? Strikforce does Club shows now and again but they are the B level company.


          And whats with this proof garbage? Show me proof that Top Rank is a 100 million dollar company go ahead.

              I know I feel you I am playing but I honestly do not understand how someone can feel that internationally they are even close. I have cousins in Ireland, Mexico, and Poland and I used to go visit them all the time and boxing was huge in all of those countries over there and boxing is imo the second most global sport in the behind soccer and basketball is not far away in third.

              Like Emmanuel Steward said "I have been to ******s all over the world and one thing I have noticed is it that there is a boxing gym in all of them."

                Seriously this might be the reason boxing has fallen so far from when it was at it's peak. Elitist boxing fans that expect only a certin kind of person to watch boxing. Imagine if the NFL started saying "Rednecks cant watch football".

                      Actually I'm a redneck... I was drawing the parallel between the Mullets and the Tapout shirts... : ) And hell yeah... I love me some football.
