    Simple question, no lie. Refering to professional so not Cuba.

    Both participation and viewing.

    I'm guessing Mexico.. no idea, but I don't think its America.

    Klitschko gets over 50% of tv market share in Germany when he fights.

    Mexico is the right answer. Those guys love their boxing and produce quality fighters consistently.

    Great Britain will always love the game but it is a niche sport over here now like it is almost everywhere else, maybe it's as big in Germany now as it is in the UK.

    Top fighters in Britain get a lot of support.

    But if i was to pick one it would be Mexico ,they really love the sport and the fighters down there.

    I have to agree with you, but I could only vote on what the OP listed as options. You might have to chalk that up to the OP's ignorance... :good

    Asks for countries. Puts 3 continents on the list.

    I would guess Mexico or Puerto Rico(yes, i know its part of the US) as the most supportive P4P.
