In which country is the sport of boxing best supported/most popular?

Lol didn't see cuba on the poll so quickly posted in shock with out reading first, my badatsch

 

Mexico overall.

Best fans would gie the edge to the British Isles

 

1. MEXICO
2. Britain
3. Germany

Watsup with Japan? I know they gotta be up there always been.

 

Probably Latin America.

 

Central America? Or Mexico, Central/South

 

Entire UK. . . Burns sells well in Scotland. . Only Northern Ireland is technically part of the UK, but Ireland of course is pretty passionate about boxing.

And Wales we see how well Calzaghe sold, and Cleverly does good numbers too when he fights there.

 

Mexico first, and foremost. . But there are countries in Central, and South America where they love their boxing; Central America - Panama, and Nicaragua come to mind, and South America - Argentina, Venezuela, Columbia. . . And while boxing isn't near as popular as MMA in Brazil, it has serious potential.

 

Oh, and HOW COULD WE FORGET CUBA?!?

Jesus, they might actually beat Mexico. . .

 

didnt forget actually.. in the first post I mentioned cuba but wanted to focus on professional.

 

Japan definitely has a pretty sweet little boxing scene. . . It's just that they don't really get coverage in the western countries because 99% of their boxers are 135; 130 and under. . .

Japan is up there. . .

 

Mexico, but PR is a solid #2 and Germany and Japan both at least deserve shout outs.

 

Mexico, America where the revenue is.
Most countries it's a sport watched as an event not regularly week in week out. Maybe PPV has something to do with that too. As they will only air fights which attract a PPV audience

 

Well living in the UK and following boxing for 30 years I can say boxing is not as mainstream as is was back in the day, even my parents watched Hearns v Leonard with me and my brother. Since SKY came on to the scene only the hardcore boxing fans like myself carried on following it, a lot of the casual fans dropped off.

We do like a good fight in the UK it's part of our history and tradition you will always have a following here as long as you show some balls.

Mexico and Cuba are pretty hardcore everywhere else it's a niche.

 

The Irish love their fighting and i am talking about World Wide here ,you put a show on and up pops Irishmen ,any kind off fighting even if its got nothing to do with them lol

 

Pound for pound it's probably Puerto Rico. I will box over there before I'm too old.
