There are about a dozen threads up on this boxing board about Fury and his instant career as a top pro wrestler. I thought boxing fans knew pro wrestling was totally fake, staged, not real and had no interest in it. I was wrong about that. I am a boxing fan and a fan of mma because they are real fights. I don't care about fake pro wrestling although I guess it is good for a laugh.Comment

The MMA and WWE does twice or three times the numbers on PPV than what the average boxing event sells. Besides, there are rarely any sell out crowds at boxing events these days anyhow. Nowadays, lots of boxing promoters are giving away thousands of free unsold tickets to fans as complimentary tickets.Comment

Which also happens to be the most popular sport in America. More people tune in to watch the NFL than boxing, is all I am saying.
The fact is, 20 years ago; Boxing was a Hell of a lot more popular in America and globally than it is today. Now it's become a niche' sport.
It's trying to make a come back though; Thanks to the free Fox television network.
I think it's become a fringe sport thanks to all the alphabet group parasites and promoters that leach off the sport.
Nothing is better then boxing.Comment
