    how can boxing be dying when there is 50 million hipsanics in the U.S?

    according to the last census

    the largest 'minority' in the u.s, and 1 in 4 kids are hispanic

    U.F.C is aimed towards middle class white young people, surely boxing will be back on top simply becuase of demographics within a generation

    for the same reason soccer will be a major sport in the U.S

    im not from the U.S but all opinions welcome

    keep dropping those kids, i want boxing no. 1 again

    Boxing is kept breathing by Hispanics. But its takes more than just one group of people.

              Its not as big as it was because they don't have it on any national tv channels. Pacquiao-Mosley being hyped up on CBS might be the shot in the arm that boxing needs.

                You know I post here alot, in comments on youtube related to fight vids, and chats in streams.......crazy thing is I end up talking with the same few dozen ppl all of the time on worldwide media outlets, that really tells me how much of a fringe sport its become sadly.

                Its due to PPVs which limit exposure, robberies, the best not fighting the best, and how because one loss can be a career killer fighters are so protected.

                  These "boxing is dying" threads seem to be mostly started by MMA fanboys...
