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.

That is why the powers that be, have filled the weak minds with the war against PEDS. I hate fking cheaters, but PEDS refill that testosterone, and that's why the elites have waged war against them. Fkin 101.

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.

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.

So what? MMA doesn't sell as many tickets as NFL. Boxing is still big money, and is a very popular sport. Not THE biggest sport, but so what?

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.

My, my, my! You just became a boxing fan since 2001? By that time boxing was no longer a mainstream sport. Man I feel sorry for you. No wonder why your boxing views are so warped

No, I followed boxing in the 80s and 90s, but became hard core in about 2000.
