    Why dont American Boxers fight on July 4th weekend?

    NFL and NBA are in the offseason, so they would get full media coverage from the sports world. Is there a reason Big fights never happen in the summer?

      Good question. I think it would be perfect to have a top American fighter fight on July 4th if it fell on a sat or even sun n just fight the 3rd. Celebrate the whole wkend. That would be great vs like a European or Mexican.

        cause boxing isnt a major american sport like it is to mexicans, too many people doing other things instead of being at home watching a fight

          The UFC always put a big fight on around this time of the year, Anderson Silva fights on Saturday. maybe that is why but i doubt that is the reason.

              Because boxing rates about 10th on the sports list around here.

              Why don't Mexican basketball players hold a tournament on Sept 16th?

                This is a good question. I think they should give it a try. Americans aren't big boxing fans like in the past. Mexicans on the other hand are the most dedicated. This is why the biggest fights are on cinco de mayo. Also, during the 4th of July there are a lot of factors to consider. Many people travel during this weekend. People barbecue and go to the beach.

                Also, Floyd has followed the blueprint of Mexico's biggest star. Once he retires, maybe the next American star tries something different. How do we get boxing back in the mainstream in the US?

                  They better have a big outside projector and the fight is going to have to be fought after the fireworks. The venue also have to outside in a big stadium and not at Vegas.
