In USA, it's been down for a while. There's just little to no interest. In this country, there's just too many other mainstream sports these days for boxing to compete for viewership and fans. Boxing doesn't even get a lot of coverage on ESPN. The one exception was the whole May/Pac thing. And the end result of that fight really hurt boxing more than helped it. I'm sure the lack of action turned people off of the sport. One of my friends said the fight sucked.
In other countries, boxing appears to be surging. UK seems to have quite a few big fighters and I think they have a pretty decent boxing fan base over there.
Some European countries have a big boxing following I believe. Even Canada seems to enjoy their boxing. They seem to go crazy for Stevenson up North, as well as any other big Canadian fighter.
We need to bring it back to the old days where fighters only cared about fighting. There seems to be too many politics. Too much of, "I'm A side." "I'll only meet you at this weight, or there's no fight." "I need a tune up fight."
