      It's much larger than a few Latin countries. In the Caribbean most of those nations play, almost all the central american nations, and most of the upper part of South America. You're right about Brazil and Argentina but that's really only 2 nations of a whole lot that play. China is also starting to join the fold with Taiwan, Japan, and some other nations in the baseball craze. You're short changing the popularity of baseball imo. It's a great sport and puts that thing called cricket to shame.

I think even you will agree that there are more sports in America that you can making a very wealthy living at. Soccer by far is your number 1 sport and it's not even close. Every single kid grows up wanting to kick the ball. In America it's more spread out. Every kid in the ****** wants to play football or basketball, every white suburban kid wants to play baseball, every mexican american wants to lace up the gloves and every rich old **** wants to hit a golf ball.
        I can't remember who was the last White American HW champion. Since AAs only involved in basketball and football, it's not that spread out. There is probably no Asian, African boxers who earn millions, European boxers also do not make millions, only few fighters as Klitschkos and Haye can make millions.

          Almost all central american and caribean nations, I see. And those countries have a combined population of what, 5 million? Argentina and Brazil are bigger than all those other 500.000 nations combined. I'm not short changing anything, baseball in China is nothing compared to football for example, so stop making **** up to support your argument. Baseball is an important sport in the countries I've mentioned and that's it, fact.

          I don't care about cricket or baseball, I find them both boring as hell.

            No way.
            Last year Floyd Mayweather grossed the second most amount of money in the world. The only guy that he was behind was Tiger Woods. Boxing is very lucrative if you are a superstar.

            I can name more that was just for argument sake. I know the English know nothing about good Tennis or Golf but in America guys like Sampras and Aggasi(tennis) made boat loads and in Golf Woods and Mickelson(golf) made crazy amounts too.

              I have no idea why I'm debating this. It's obvious that NFL and NBA have hurt American Boxing. Yes, other nations are hurt by soccer but you can't say that those two sports haven't hurt boxing in our nation. The rest of this talk is just fluff.

                I don't really follow Golf, but England make up 3 of the top ten, include Britain in that (NI) and they make up 5 from the top ten.

                  You're missing out Gaelic football, shinty and hurling.

                    Yeah that's PBF.

                    We're looking for the average earnings. Taking into account your Floyd's and your journeymen and complete bums.

                    It's not a feasible alternative to any of the sports mention for several reasons. Hundreds of reasons. Actually, probably thousands of reasons.

                      When an Englishmen can finally win Wimbeldon, we'll talk. English Tennis has been very poor for a very long time. Right now American Tennis is in a rut as well.
