Where does Boxing rank as far as in popularity in American sports ?

which is why you had athletes like michael jordan who become cultural phenomenons to take away from that. jordan was the face of US sports for nearly a decade as boxing became more of niche sport. but when Ali was HW champ he inspired a generation of golden era of fighters. kids wanted to be ali.

A lot of kids admired Muhammad Ali, but not everyone wanted to be a boxer 'Because most kids move away from violence' Only certain kids back then? Pursued boxing, and it is still the same today.

Boxing essentially is not a sport, it is a form of competitive violence.

All these team sports you speak of? Where created to entertain the masses 'I refer to most team sports, as lemming sports'.

Lemmings all following their tribe week in week out, it is social engineering.

we produced more quality boxers in the USA back then bc you had more inspiration bc one guy was the most populate athlete in the country if not the world. we dont now. ask anyone to name a list of 5 boxers that ever lived, everyone of them would name ali.

America is still a dominant force in boxing.

Society has changed 'People don't have to fight any more'.

Education is better, and there are safer sports.

The term 'The winner takes it all' applies more to boxing, than other sports. You can sit on a bench in basketball, and still get paid 'It is a entirely different lifestyle and environment in boxing'.

At no point in history have kids in mass, all wanted to be boxers 'It has always just been down to a elite few, who where willing to pursue the sport through all of its brutality'.

I don't entirely view boxing as a sport, it is still prize fighting.

Sports are activities such as: The original Olympic sports, team-sports and motor racing etc

nope money changed alot of that. MMA is more accessible to people and there's more MMA gyms than boxing gyms bc of popularity and exposure. when boxing moved to a more exclusive paid audience they killed the appeal they had. we used to watch fights on network tv and put 100,000 in stadiums for fights. we just dont anymore.

Mixed Martial Arts is not more accessible 'What is a mixed Martial arts gym?' Mixed Martial Arts comes under a giant umbrella.

Boxing fights are still on non-pay television.

Those points are irrelevant.

there are over 150+ UFC gyms that teach MMA alone in the US and they offer an array of Muy Thai, BJJ and Boxing from expert coaches. I live around 20 gyms that specialize in a form of MMA within a 5-10m radius. theres only 4 boxing gyms in my entire city. its just not accessible. and most of them see a dude on a bag for 20min and try to get him to spar a high ranked prospect.

I have just done a quick search 'In america there are almost 4000 boxing gyms'.

What is BJJ?

did you also read the gym titles and what they specialize in. i just did a maps search for boxing gyms and muy thai and bjj also came up along with it bc they offer boxing. most of these places are hybrid which is what i alluded to in my last response. purely solely boxing gyms just arent a thing anymore.

Unfortunately the US is obsessed with grown men playing children’s games. Smh

Basketball baseball football

NHL is not ahead of combat sports. It’s not good on TV. It’s a very expensive sport. Most of the country doesn’t even play it. Maybe 15 years ago when it was still on ESPN but not now. Leaving ESPN and going to NBCSports was a bad decision. Great sport to watch live though.

I’m from Minnesota and I’d say you can shut your wh0re mouth right up. Haha but seriously this is probably a hard question to truly answer since the US is so big. MMA is far more popular up here but when I lived in South Texas I had plenty of Hispanic friends that actually loved boxing, and not just the Canelo’s but the entire sport.
