Three reasons boxing's declining popularity won't be reversed any time soon

Thanks, we shall see. Regionals should be the big challenge; they have some decent guys there that are pretty competent. Oh, and I made a mistake before. That 2,000+ turnout was at a Preliminary round event, not even the semis or finals. Here's what the guy had to say:

Here in MI, it is both. We had almost 100 boxers enter the East MI GG and almost 200 enter the West MI GG. It is mostly men with about 15-20 women out of the nearly 300 entries. It looks as if boxing is making a comeback. Our first night of the West MI GG had nearly 2,000 fans in attendance. Not bad for the preliminaries. It will be standing room only for the finals. The East MI GG changed locations and their attendance is way up over what it has been for years. Their District Finals almost challenged the West sides #'s for the first time in many years. It is going to make the State semi-finals and finals be awesome. Great bouts and great crowds. Everyone wants to be a part of the Golden Gloves because of its popularity.
