How can we as fans revive boxing?

This.

Everybody in Germany knows who the Klitschkos are. They're selling out arenas that can fill 50k people. And almost everybody knows Abraham as well. He is also selling out places. ****, even Sturm is selling good whithout fighting anyone decent.

Everybody in the UK knows who Haye and Khan are. They're selling out venues that can hold 20k as well.

Everybody in Mexico knows who JMM and Alvarez are and they sell out venues in Mexico as well.

Alot of people in Canada kow who Bute and Pascal are and they're filling venues as well.

The problem lies in America.

I see it is popular globally but why not here in the U.S.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

You are right just frustrating at times not being able to discuss it with people who are close to you.

it is what it is man...before the internet, boxing was a bit more popular so i had people i could talk to...now, its not as popular but we have the internet to share boxing discussions with

We have our well known fighters Mayweather,Hopkins,Ward and even though not American Pac is a huge draw and a household name here.

One of our biggest problems is the olympics they need to go back to pro style fights,this head shot contest is boring as sht they give no credit for body work,and potential fans see something that pro boxing is not.

we start by convincing steroidgio martinez frm refraining frm taking PEDs.

I hear that alot also. Thank Sportcenter for that. No one ever says why such fighter will win just that he will.

yea man...no joke to it...there's something sick and sadistic inside all of us that make us infatuated with a sport where two men beat each other senseless with their fists


its not for everyone

I agree wit dis but a lot of those "sadistic" people are going to mma rather than boxing.

For me, boxing, strikes a nice balance between violence, athleticism, strategy and technique and competitiveness. I hate mma because of the excessive violence and lack of regard for your opponent. It is encourage in mma to hit your opponent when he's down and out, and defenseless, really....
