    build a boxing gym in all cities in all states. in fact, make that eight boxing gyms per city.

    have boxing on every single channel whether it be a sports channel or TBS or whatever. run it 24/7.

    Give boxers more endorsements, put them on talk shows to show their personalities, and re air some of the recent great fights on network tv.

    Agreed, 'the powers that be'... it just takes some wealth and then some smart investing / marketing to make that happen. The product (boxing fights) apart from the HW division (which is a shame.. ) is excellent by itself.

    tennis channel? now that is the biggest load of bull**** i ever heard. in fact, get rid of this so-called tennis channel and replace it with three boxing channels.

    a boxing channel would be amazing

    one thing i like about boxing not being popular is that when one of my favorite boxers looses i dont have to hear about the next day at school
    i am a ohio state fan these past three years are pretty much why i started watching boxing

    Manny Pac right now is the Michael Jordan of boxing bro.. I don't agree with your philosophy, one man no matter how good does not make or break the success of the sport which should be a very successful sport (popularity wise), it only heightens its attention

    Hear this **** all the time... so ****ing annoying, but maybe your right.

    At the same time I don't hear MMA fighters being household names besides guys that brought reps from other sports.. mostly amongst other fight fans, so I'm going to disagree
