Do You Think Boxing Could Be HUGE In Japan Like It Was In The U.S.?

the amazing as failed yet again

 

Yeah boxing is HUGE in Japan, figures for Friday's fights will be massive.

 

Boxing in Japan is big in popularity.

And the quality of boxers at the moment is great.

 

i feel like moving over there just for the fights

 

They have 3 or 4 show most weeks at the Korakuen Hall, their bigger shows are dependent on how many champions they have though they often double or triple up big names to make BIG shows on, like this Friday's

 

but you didnt did you

 

Boxing is big in Japan!
Free TV
They also the two popular manga about boxing
Hajime no Ippo
-Is about a young student getting bullied in school, turned boxer!
I like the story LOL he fights at 126 and the other characters have real life boxers as their counterparts

Ashita no joe
-Don't wanna spoil. Good story!

 

i think 25 million watched koki kameda on tv recently

 

Won't have been that recently. Koki's not fought in a year.

Purse bids have been called his fight with Kohei Kono, sounds like it could be very...interesting

 

Hajime No Ippo was amazing, don't follow it anymore but I really really liked it.

Watched season 1 and I found it amazing.

:deal

 

i love kono. should be a good fight if kameda doesnt go on his bicicycle

it was against hugo ruiz:good

 

no, mma and offshoots like that are much more popular there
