Why in every TV ratings thread for US fights do fans make excuses like..........

[Pigeons]

cmon... there is no way boxing is more popular than cricket. even badminton i think are more popular.

and dont forget rowing

[betmen]

I'm not a cricket fan so I don't know, I only ever hear about it whenever the ashes roll around, although I know the one dayers and IPL are popular. And I hope you're joking with badminton claim

Damn, I forgot about darts, that might even be more popular than boxing.

half joking, you know there wimbledon for tennis and then all-england for badminton, which the most prestigious tournaments for both respective sports.

still picturing those victorian era garments when thinking the brits playing badminton

Or even better, when they claim that boxing does relatively well in the UK because we have no other sports competing with it. The ignorance is astounding

I know, it always cracks me up when American fans, and also fighters like Andre Ward, come out with comments like that. They really think we have no other sports, and nothing else for people to do, except sit around talking about boxing and waiting for the next show to come along!

Think if we were to do this in the UK the equivalent would be. "Ratings were low because.. (insert **** Simon Cowell produced show) was on. Simon Cowell is the bane of UK boxing ratings

That's not entirely false though. Boxing cards in the UK don't compete against English Premier League games that are held in the afternoon.

I'm old enough to remember the days when "Matchroom" meant darts, snooker, and Barry Hearn, rather than boxing and Eddie.

Hard to believe that boozy, beer bellied chain smokers like Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow, and Alex "Hurricane" Higgins, who was never seen without a lit cigarette, a pint of Guinness and a whiskey chaser either in his hands or on the table next to him, were once UK sporting icons.
