On which number or position does boxing rank as a world popular sport?

[Smash]

most countries dont have any boxers or very few at all, only a small number of countries have a history of the sport, like mexico, USA, PR, UK, jap and a few others like ukraine coming on, and a lot of countries its the immigrants who get involved in the sport

I have no idea. If you want to know there are statistics somewhere that will tell you the answer. I am sure lots of other sports are more popular world wide. Boxing and mma are the only sports i care about.

World probably behind only

Football (as in Soccer) and Basketball and maybe Baseball.

The world doesn't play American Football or UFC. That's USA only.

It’s definitely behind Golf, Tennis and athletics.

Most probably behind Rugby and Cricket too.

Bottom end of the top 10 I’d say...

Yeah I agree.


I love boxing but it's a cliche sport.


Especially in the US



NBA and NFL are much more popular.

Yeah, I'd add Golf and Tennis.
Is Cricket and Rugby that popular world wide?

Exactly the same in the UK mate. Just instead of NBA, NFL, it’s football, rugby, cricket, tennis etc.

Pretty big but are only tend to be mainstream sports in Western Europe and many of their former colonies. I’d say Cricket/Rugby consistently produce bigger crowds. I’d say all three would be towards the bottom end of the top 10.
