    Surprising Boxing Demographics Data From Youtube

    I have a youtube channel with some of Sergio Martinez' pre-HBO fights that I created early this year. (link here or check my sig) So far I only have a around 100k video views. Not a terrible sized sample. Anyway, I decided to the check the demographics data today, and I was stunned to find it out it was dominated by old people. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised since all the young people are into MMA nowadays, but I never realized how much of an old man's sport boxing really is.

    Here's the the age-group data from all my video views. 45-54 is the largest age-group.



    In the past couple weeks, I had a giant traffic spike because of the Barker fight. It's even more obvious if I take the data from just those two weeks.



    Here's the gender data. I guess not even Sexy Sergio can attract the ladies to the sport.



    And somewhat interesting, here's where I'm getting the most hits from.



    Anyone else have a youtube channel with boxing vids? Would be interesting to know if your own stats match up.

        What sort of comments do they leave? You'll get a clearer idea of the age range by the comments left I reckon. After all, it's not like YT asks for proof of age when signing up for an account.

            True, but I have reason to believe by the most part people do put their correct age. I have an older personal youtube channel where I have videos of me playing guitar. One of the videos is a cover of a random Offspring song with 50k hits. According to the demographics data, around half of those hits come from people age 13-17, which is exactly what one would expect from an Offspring song. If people were really faking their age, I wouldn't expect to see so many 13-17 year olds. So the data seems to be mostly accurate.

              haha just like music! classical music from beethoven, bach, etc. . . all that music from the 60's and 70's is for geezers. . . pianos, instruments like guitars, harmonicas, etc. are for old people -

              synthesizers, hip-hop and catchy but ****** and senseless hooks are for cool people!

              **** real music!

                that is pretty cool, though. . . i'd like to see a bunch of users data for comparisons. . .

                but the data from youtube accounts might not be the best indication - i know for my internet accounts like youtube i put all kinds of false **** regarding age. . .

                  It may not be a fair repersentation of a cross section of the boxing community though, your page is dedicated to Martinez and he aint the youngest or the most popular boxer, many young and many casual fans just wont know who he is or what he is about, and obviously he will have more older fans that have followed him
