    Boxing is way more popular of a sport in England than the US percentage wise. There is a way higher percentage of the UK population that cares about boxing than the US. So it's pretty much evened out. I don't think boxing is even a top 5 most popular sport in the US.

    True say.

    :lol:

    I think it's really just Super Hans who argues this.

    It's clear as day which nation produces more glass jaws per capita.

    Even the craziest nut couldn't make a case for England, but he's trying hard so I'll give him some credit. :lol:

    Is not in the top 5 most popular sports in the UK. In fact it's probably not in the top 10,

    Let's get real bro.

    On any credible p4p list, those 3 should be NOWHERE NEAR Top 20. :lol:

    And I like Brook/Frampton too, both are 25-30. :nod

    The stats have already proven it.

    All you have to back up your argument is a bunch of butt hurt yanks who support Broner and his actions and think he could beat Duran (the same morons who thought Porter could beat The Special One™)

    Yet 80 thousand fans went to watch Froch vs Groves. Let's be honest boxing is far far more popular over there than the states Their domestic fights do way more numbers than big fighters in the states.

    But that doesn't mean we have more boxers. In fact the nearest boxing classes from my house is 50 miles, the nearest one from my work is 35 miles

    Obviously not but I bet there aren't 5 times more boxers in the US than the UK.
