Plus 13 million viewers. Broner was over a little 1m I believe?

In regards to fighters, Mexico is boss at the lower weights but it cannot compete with the US at the higher divisions.

Yeah, the U.S. dominates 140+.

The U.S. and Mexico are usually neck and neck in terms of World Champs, but I think with the fans, superstars, and the relevance of boxing in each country in favor of Mexico, Mexico has a strong case as the top country in boxing. In the U.S., in the mainstream, boxing is almost irrelevant. Boxing is huge in Mexico.

USA dominates but I would be lying if said Americans boxers are exciting to watch. I'm American but I have a strong mixture of fighters who I prefer to watch and only a few are American. The American style of boxing is boring.

I think the U.S. is very weak right now. Mayweather Jr., Hopkins, and Crawford are keeping the U.S. afloat.

Andre Ward is inactive. Mickey Bey, , his title belongs to Miguel Vazquez, . Lamont Peterson's title is a joke. It should belong to Lucas Matthysse, who lost to D. Garcia, so technically it should be Garcia's title.

Mexico has more exciting fighters.

The US has a lot of feather-fisted runners and defensive specialists like Mayweather, and also some "headbutt & clinch" specialists like Hopkins and Ward.

Also a lot of US guys like Quillan and Mayweather are known as duckers, while Mexican boxers are never afraid to fight anybody.

This is all true. Nice avatar by the way! Haha.

Same can also be said of other foreign fighters such as those that come from Europe, Russia, Asia and whatnot.
