Damn, 8 sports ahead of Boxing. USA needs a heavyweight champ to bring the sport back.

America needs a Great White Hope.

If Wilder ends up winning a title it might get the casuals attention.

[NEETzsche]

they get behind their heavyweights

[FrenchDeLaHoya]

mayweather makes 30+ mil a fight. that moneys coming from somewhere & its not coming from india or australia or brazil for examples. so id say yes

ward is just so dam boring in every way
bradley is just so dam powerless
gotta take risks in their & gotta have power to be star caliber. americans want blood & gore & guts. if not, we'll watch the olympics

Only when the fighter is fighting in his hometown. Boxing is just not a main stream sport in America. You have to be specific with the venue where a certain fighter is fighting. You can't just assume a fighter from Chicago will be a draw in New York just because he's American. It's not like in the UK where a fighter from Manchester will get massive support in London.

But there are exceptions when it comes to hometown fighters. If you're a black fighter from Los Angeles and you are scheduled to fight a Mexican fighter at Staples Center or. Home Depot Center, it's gonna be like you're the one on foreign soil since the crowd is predominantly Mexican. See Margarito-Mosley. Mosley was the hometown boy yet it was generous to say he had 20 supporters in the building...

As long as Basket Ball, Football and Base Ball are free to watch on basic cable. Where if You like boxing you have to pay to watch boxing on Showtime and HBO. Which will cost you some cash it's no surprise that it's not the leading sport in America. I think a lot of us do back up are American fighters in a America I know I do.

so what does that have to do with his fights with Cotto and Mosley?

Both of those fights were on cinco de mayo weekend. They thre Canelo on both of those cards along with many other mexican and mexican american fights. The point is the majority of the people ordering his ppvs are hispanic
