    haha

    stay away from here if you wanna make it big... MAYBE montreal if anything

    i live in toronto... greatest city in canada... but the mayor smokes crack and theres NEVER a professional fight to attend

    if i lived in montreal id live in the bell center watching every fight



    there is no push for sports here

      I'm from Canada.

      I can speak for Toronto and Vancouver. Frankly, the scene is not that great. Plenty of gyms, but few live fights really.

      Montreal, and to a much lesser degree Edmonton would probably be the most active towns for fighters.

      The Amateur circuit is not bad here, but making it big, not very likely.

            Horse ****. Well atleast here in vancouver. The amateur scene here is picking up a little bit but still very few events. Not a lot of fighters in my weightclass which is very frustrating. And almost no pro fights at all, I`ve only been to one event with pro fights. I wish I moved to montreal instead.

              I can't speak for other places but I can speak for Toronto. Boxing aint really that big out here at least not compared to other sports but there are a few good gyms and the amateur circuit is cool. I know/have people that box professionally but all the pro fights they've had so far were out of town (not far from Toronto though).

              Considering the city's lack of push for sports out here esp for sports like boxing, you probably wouldn't have too many opportunities out here. although if someone from our city started to get known, im sure the city would most likely back em and start actually having more boxing out here
