Our beloved sport of boxing must being doing better then many think, right?

I actually do think it's the greatest sport in the world. The random person will know just about Tyson, Ali, etc but if you show them 1 classic fight such as a Hagler-Hearns, etc they will be instantly hooked. I know I was when I saw Mosley-DLH 1.

good point, in fact I got 3 of my fraternity bro's to go with me to the Barrera-Morales rematch in Vegas, by simply throwing in the VHS tape of their 1st fight,.... BUT....

how many casual TV/sports fans can catch one of those classic fights when flipping channels? boxing is usually on pay networks, late night, or both

If you saw Holyfield beat Tyson on that magical night, then you have no choice but to be a fan of boxing. That fight hooked me for life.
