Comments Thread For: Charles Martin: I Would’ve Knocked Out Breazeale For Sure

No son believe it or not boxing is more popular in the UK which has no real professional sports and in Germany and in Ireland which has nothing. Mexicans love boxing same with Argentina people but there is nothing to do or watch in those countries not even sure if there are TV's there or electricity. Russia and all those funny sounding Stan countries send all their fighters to America to fight and make some cash. But boxing gets almost nothing coverage wise in the USA. Spike TV and the animal planet channel and national geographic will soon have american Boxing.

I guess if you don't consider soccer a real sport.

But again Boxing in the USA is the 9th rated sport and actually gets little coverage anymore.

Looks like 9th to me.

Dude just go on boxrec and see how many registered boxers there in each nation...

Heavyweights alone:
USA - 366
UK - 36
Germany - 64
Russia - 22

...and so on down the weights until the really small guys when Asia probably takes the lead.

While all the biggest viewed boxing cards occur in the US too. Most of the rest of the world doesn't even get to see them due to the time difference.

So you have the largest amount of pro boxers by far as well as the largest viewership, again by a massive amount (it helps that South America and Mexico are in the same time zone but US also adopts most of their best fighters as their own too). Yes it may be less popular than it once was but don't think for second that the same doesn't apply everywhere else in the world.
