    Yes, now that Messiah Pac Man has began the resurrection of boxing in America, it will dominate PPV’s once AGAIN.

      I dont think so, unfortunately. Kids love the flash of bball, football, baseball and mma. Add to the fact that you dont have any charismatic fighters. Most want to follow the Money Mayweather blueprint....work smarter not harder, which is cool, but casuals wanna see slugfests and ko's. That's why a lot flocked to the mma. There's not really an appreciation for the sweet science. Lastly, the most popular fighter in the world at this point doesnt speak english, nor seems to be attempting to learn. The rest, for the most part either try too hard or have the personalities of wet mops.

          As a whole honestly...IT NEVER WAS MAIN STREAM!

          Only Certain Fighters was able to make it Mainstream through out the history of this sport like Ali, Leonard, Tyson, Oscar, Mayweather, Pacquiao

          Boxing had a lot of STARS that made a lot of money but not only a select few became True Crossover SUPERSTARS in the sport. So NO boxing will never become "Main Stream" in America but that doesn't mean the sport can't do well without being Mainstream

            With transcending cash cow phenoms like Tyson Fury, absolutely. Boxing is on the rise.

              Tbh, the way the sport is run and the way fans carry on...it doesn’t deserve to be.

                Probably not, the USA is going to be a third world country before the end of the century. Doesn't bode too well for PPV sales.

                Boxing is a niche - unless they introduce transgender,LGBT, disabled, etc. Divisions to attract every single demographic.

                  Maybe, maybe not..but fans of the sport can influence others, whether it's your friends, family or co-workers to gain interest in boxing. Two of my friends who had never watched a fight in their life, are now into boxing as much as I am. One of them is always asking me what I think the next big fight is, yet I've seen him watching fights involving lesser known boxers. Sometimes it's fights that I don't even devote the time to watch but he does. It's funny.
