      Boxing is definitely #1 for me.
      I'll mainly watch the NFL when I'm with my buddies because they're die hard football fans ( but they've become Boxing fans ).
      Basketball - don't watch it anymore.
      I'll watch a UFC replay on occasion if I hear it was a good fight.
      All other sports don't interest me.

          Boxing is number 1 when it is a well matched fight with exciting fighters, I will no longer watch 12 rounds of pitty pat and ****e under cards.

          UFC is number two, has really grown on me the last few years.

          Football (soccer) tied with NFL, I was a die hard Newcastle fan growing up but it’s loosing its appeal for me.

          4th/edging 3rd any strength sports , strong man, Olympic lifting, bodybuilding ( my background )

          Rugby union internationals.

          Athletics

          Snooker/darts

          That’s about it.....

              Dunno... Eddie was a bouncer in his youth and was most probably a bit of a nasty bastard, rough area Stoke.

              Both huge men, will probably be awful to watch with a few punches between frantic clinches.

                Easy

                Two killers punching each other > moving balls around

                We have a primal appetite for violence.

                All ball games are invisible to people who don’t care about sports.

                Put a street fight in front of the same people’s face. They’ll watch it with a fascinated focus

                Combat sports with striking are the best. You instinctively respect men who spark out other killers in 2-seconds

                  I also appreciate how boxing doesn’t require its athletes to go to college to get a chance as a pro

                      Fighters get pushed beyond their physical limits in their toughest fights.

                      This doesn’t happen in ball games.

                      Combat sports are the pinnacle of human strength
