      Boxing is producing more income than it ever has. While it's not getting as much US coverage as it used to its flourishing everywhere else. Though the bottom line is, is boxing losing money or making far less than it used to? The answer is an emphatic no. It's a bigger revenue source than ever before and is still the top combat sport in the states are probably the world....

        Additionally it's the quality of the fighters and the matches most commonly found on terrestrial programming. Would-be fans don't get to see the best of what boxing has to offer.

        Speaking in terms of the United States; ESPN level fights make the sport look bad in the eyes of your average sports fan... Or so I have been told by friends and colleagues who refuse to convert.
