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

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.
