In 5 years will boxing decline or be popular than ever in 5 years

I thought so too, but mma does do some numbers still. Jon Jones on top is huge. Jake Paul and the clown show will pull the clown show phsyop along and Saudi will control anything like real boxing with Apps and PPV, and just follow the money as it will tell the story.

 

About the same as now, big fights will rarely happen, especially in the heavyweight division, I would like it to be better than now, but somehow I doubt it...

 

Based on current circumstances, I predict it will be about the same as it is. I do not see anything on the horizon that would tip it one way or the other. An occasional free television fight, with a name fighter involved, even against a no name opponent, would certainly help. Many are going with free television now, and I see that trend continuing. Free television has hundreds of channels available, maybe thousands if you are willing to work at it. All you pay for is your internet connection. I have heard many people say: "If it ain't free, I won't be watching it!" They need to be drawn back in, in order to get them to pony up money for fights.
