    I think there has been, why do you think that is?

    I'm one and can't speak for all of us. When I go to a Verdejo fight or watch a card with Mexican fighters there's a lot of support. And there are many exciting Latino prospects. Unimas solo boxeo is back and you'll see a good fan base there.

      Latinos are tired of boxing corruption. They are not THAT ******. They are learning to be smarter and choosing other sports.

        There's been decline in every fanbase i would guess more Latin people stuck around than blacks and whites.

          Mexican boxing (not too long ago) had stars like Morales, MAB, and the Marquez brothers (among others) who fought literally everyone and were exciting. Mexicans expect greatness and fighters with pride who will go to war. It wont be long before the next great Mexican shows himself. Also, if Latino fans go away there is no boxing in the US. Period. Latino fans ARE boxing in the US.

            I agree totally, I think Oscar Valdez can be a star. Problem is right now PBC is the most powerful boxing organization and they are not focusing on Latino stars..

              Thats true, its funny boxing has been on free tv for a very long time, what PBC is doing isnt new. Latinos have had it on TV for years...

                No, they just jumped on the eastern Euro bandwagon until such time that more Mexican warriors start getting in the spotlight again.

                  Ramirex, verdejo, Caneo, chocalito are their biggest prospects right now.

                  Start matching these guys with real fighters and ANY FAN BASE WILL TOON IN MORE OFTEN.

                  ALL FAN BASES ARE FALLING OFF IN BOXING. I'm a huge boxing fan and am starting to have doubts about the sport. YES, the UFC is a big factor!!

                    if canelo comes out as a ****sexual there will be one.

                    i mean they already had to deal with oscar.

                    if canelo did that?

                    it would be a devastating low blow.

                    no ****.

                    no offense.
