        boxing is what it is

        it will never be mainstream due to the violence, but it will always survive based on its political affiliations, rich sports history, and dedicated-yet-shallow fanbase throughout the world

        basically, it's in the same category as pro wrestling - popular to those who love it, worthless to those who don't

          how dare you compare something like boxing to pro wrestling. pro wrestling is in the same category as nascar, darts, curling, and rodeos.

          i agree w/ the 1st part of your post though..

          edit-actually, darts, curling, rodeos and nascar are better than pro wrestling because they arent a pre-determined act

            Well said. To compare boxing to pro wrestling is disgraceful!

              The Super Bowl, World Series, NHL and NBA Playoffs are all on free TV, they have organized leagues with commissioners, annual schedules, profit sharing, etc etc

              boxing and wrestling are on pay per view, they have promoters rather than commissioners, and have very little mainstream media coverage

              I rest my case children

                you shoulda compared it to mma, but you said wrestling. im sure you realized what you were saying..so dont act suprised when people flame you for the comparison. wrestling is on ppv because only children and degenerate adults enjoy it..boxing is on ppv because today's average joe would rather watch 20 people kick a ball around than a brutal fight within a ring.

                  any way u slice it, both boxing and wrestling are PPV entertainment, while baseball, basketball, football, etc are real SPORTS....as much as i love boxing, it's not really a sport, it's merely brutal reality entertainment....

                  if boxing were a sport, then Lennox woulda beat Evander in their 1st fight, Sweet Pea woulda beat Chavez, and Don King would still be a gun-runner on the streets of Cleveland...

                  but it's really organized crime at the most entertaining level (next 2 Sopranos of course)
