How does boxing become a mainstream popular sport again

[Vasyl’s dad]

I wasn't talking about the fighters, I was talking about the mainstream fan. Guys nowadays are into knitting and tulips.

A strong foundation is vital when building anything, so I will go with:

- More Amateur gyms/more funding for amateur gyms.
- More boxing on Network TV

[MPX309]

I'd say more fights on network/basic cable.

There's a fair few here in the UK, but it's mainly Prizefighter and Fight Night domestic stuff. . . Also a lot of people aren't going to stay up until 6am for boxing here. . . Well not casuals, so bit of a catch 22.

Maybe if people like Khan would fight Brook, that would be a huge attraction here.

There are multiple gyms in every major US city.

The problems are far bigger than lack of gyms.

I think more fights on basic cable, less belts and better judges.

A great heavyweight rivalry

[tjones1989]

1) Fix the ****ty amateur system to help develop fighters.
2) Fix crap decisions and get rid of crooked judges/refs.
3) best fight the best on regular basis.
4) One or two champs per division, get rid of all the ****ty alphabet belts that no one cares about.
5) Put boxing on mainstream television.
Pretty much what everyone else already put.

If we get more of these guys fighting, the sport blows up, becomes probably the number 1 sport in the USA.

Have the ring card girls show :boobies::boobies::boobies: in between rounds and see how well the ratings go up

[Tay Roc]

It never will be main stream.

The NFL and NBA would have to fail.
