    just gotta admit america dont love its boxing no more!

    starting to become a lost cause really!

    really hate to admit it but europe is where boxing is at now 60,000 filling in to watch fighters

    The time of Tyson, Roy Jones , De la Hoya are over now n when the saviour of the heavyweights is a brit then the hope is lost

    the great personalitys of cotto n pavlik arent the most intreseting fighters, gotta admit fighters like mayweather n all his showmen ship, david haye with his cool atitude is wht the world wants to see n fighters like cotto n pavlik all though great fighters dont have that showmen ship to take boxing to the next level!

    Boxing is not in the mainstream eye in America. No one talks about growing up and being a boxer any more. They want to be football or basketball stars. Boxing has to go back to regular television if it ever wants to return to the public's consciousness. In all honesty, who gives a crap if the average joe blow watches boxing. As long as I can still watch it - it's alright.

    I think youtube stars like Zelenoff are giving many young men a role model to look up to of sorts, quite a few a few of my friends love watching his youtube videos.

    Benn, Eubank et al did HUGE numbers in the UK. Eubank alleges that 100m watched him fight Benn (worldwide). I'm still not sure how?

    DLH is hurting boxing by cherry picking fights. Prohibiting real competition.
