The girl from Behind The Gloves is American but it seems all she does now is cover UK fights now. Fight Hype & Fight Hub are all full of UK interviews. Is UK the new Mecca of Boxing?

Probably due to the success of IFLTV. UK fans watch more boxing news on youtube it seems. -
Because boxing is dying in the US, nobody cares anymore and there are hardly any stars left that get casual fans interested. The UK is the capital of the boxing world, for nowComment

Maybe U.S should think twice about the way they operate with boxing. High priced tickets/ppv = lower viewership. End of the day, you might earn a bunch of cash but that is short term idea and quite ******. All it does is discourage people from watching boxing.
In U.K, it is for the masses. The ecosystem has been created to be sustainable, not only for this generation of fighters but the next few too. End of the day, it is just the mentality of the countries. U.S is too capitalistic and that might be the death of any low popularity good fights. It is good that people in charge in U.K are more competent and are slowly building a new mecca for boxing.Comment

theres a lot more buzz about the uk scene. the us has some top talent but its just boring, a lot of them have no charisma and most of them are undefeated cause they dont fight anyone and are moved slowly. in the UK if you lose you can come again. lot of promotional splits over there too, i think it says it all that noone even talks about a spence crawford fight.Comment

It will never die here, it will survive as a niche sport, but I think it is at an all time low as far as star power fighters in the US. As far as casual interest in the sport, I can't remember it ever being as low as it is nowOriginally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostComment
