Re: follow up
I don't think boxing has become underground, whatever that means. It is harder for people, even boxing fans, to access the good quality fights at the moment that aren't huge PPV events I believe. And that is making it less of a 'popular culture' participant I spose at present. And as you say the average guy/girl isn't going to go out of their way to go looking either, it has to handed on a plate. I believe the history boxing has will maintain it as a mainstream sport but at present it is just not as accessible as it has been in the past. I believe and hope that this will be part of a natural cycle and boxing will be more visible and accessible for larger numbers of people in the years to come. If the number of young kids attending my local gym regularly is an indication then it is looking good for the future as it is very well attended.
