The problem with Boxing

[The Gambler1981]

NCAA football and basketball are huge.

The majority of top tier football programs have stadiums that hold well over 75,000 and sell out regularly. I think Michigan's is the largest, with a capacity near 110,00. If that number is wrong, I'm sure Check will correct me.

It is right there are several over 100k also.

That's just insane, I can't imagine watching people from a University playing sport.

The nearest it comes to over here is University challenge.

So I want to start small.

How can boxing surpass bowling in popularity. I want some suggestions.

Yeah, there are a handful of them.

That's just insane, I can't imagine watching people from a University playing sport.

People love football.

Plus, for schools like Alabama, Ole Miss, Arkansas, etc, their state lacks professional teams, so the residents of those states root for college teams.

Boxing lost to the "not sure" option by 2% points?

I was looking at a soccer website and in this article they had a list of sport in America and what percentage of the population like at least one sport and which is their favorite. I don't know how accurate this list is but it speaks for itself.

Pro football: 31%
Baseball: 17%
College football: 12%
Auto racing: 7%
Men's pro basketball: 6%
Hockey: 5%
Men's soccer: 4%
Men's college basketball: 4%
Not sure: 3%
Men's golf: 2%
Track & field: 2%
Bowling: 2%
Men's tennis: 2%
Boxing: 1%
Horse racing: 1%
Women's tennis: 1%
Swimming: 1%

Seriously boxing can't out do bowling~

it looks accurate to me and yes bowling is more popular in the u.s., i personaly hate it but people love that b.s. bowling alleys all over the country are jam packed every weekend, can't say the same for boxing arenas.

Yea, bowling is a more accessible sport and even a fat ass can do it.

If that is the only sport you can do it is probably likely to be high on your favorite scale.

I've been saying for awhile, america has lost boxing as a popular sport awhile ago.

On the bright side its more popular around the world than ever before and now the rest of the world can carry the sport.

Now our fighters have to go to other countries for a paycheck.

Boxing moves in circles, adapts, changes, constantly, its a part of the how sport has always been.
