    We know boxing is not dead.
    We're getting more coverage on CBS with Floyd's new deal. Floyd is getting huge coverage.
    Amateur boxing changes in scoring and no headgear - more suited to pro's - we will get better amateurs coming through.
    Broner and Bradley are getting well over a million views
    Zou Shimming will bring a Chinese crowd with him
    Golden Boy Promotions expansion in UK
    There genuinely are exciting fighters in the lower weight divisions

    Boxing has a great business model, get a card every week we no other sport gives you that. On April 27 we get 3 cards.

    how much did networks like ESPN talk about the Bradley vs Provodnikov fight? ok yeah around the world in mexico and europe boxing is thriving. half the people in the US probably don't know who the **** Floyd Mayweather is.

    Of course it ain't dead. At it's worst it's still a multi billion dollar business *****.

    Abraham v Stieglitz II: averaged 4.2m viewers in Germany, plus 50+ countries on 6 continents and a sold out arena - who said boxing is dead?
