    Is boxing your favourite sport?

    I’m a Brit and football (soccer) is the most popular sport. I find it incredibly boring.

    I’m only really interested in fighting sports- Boxing and MMA. Grand slam tennis is can also be fun.

    Anyway where does boxing rank for you ?

    Boxing & Football (soccer) tied
    Golf

    But I'm more passionate about Everton than any individual boxer.

      Definitely number 1 for me. It's to the point where I'm not really following anything else to be honest. Football isn't interesting anymore, while the Lakers are doing great right now in basketball I've even stopped watching it as it doesn't interest me. Boxing is the only sport I keep up with daily

        I’ve tried to get into basketball but I find it probably the least entertaining sport I’ve watched.

        It’s so repetitive, run down the court and dunk over and over and over again.

        Most of the season doesn’t even mean anything it’s only the playoffs that really matter.

        Football (American) is far more appealing to me as I love how tactical it is

          I'm in a similar situation...I'm from italy and football is by far the most popular sport here. Years ago I used to watch football much more then now.
          My favorite sports are Boxing and Tennis.

              How easy it is to watch boxing in Italy? Do any networks show the fights ?

                Like you born and raised in England though have a bit of Spanish in me.

                For me boxing is my favourite sport. Always existed before humans evolved . Hence linked to survival of the fittest in nature.

                Tennis is ok as well. Individual sport where you cant blame anyone but yourself if you loose.

                I think football especially following clubs is so popular because it fills a innate niche to belong to something .

                  I'm big on skateboarding (some snowboarding). Boxing was my favourite sport but the warring promotions, "marination", toxic fanbases, ducking and thorough shadyness of it all has made it lose its sheen for me. I don't enjoy MMA as much, but at least UFC makes the big fights happen and as often as possible.
