Good article on Boxing's former glory and where it stands now!

The Ghost Sport by Paul Beston, City Journal Summer 2011

That was a good read and perspective.

Good read on the American perspective. Doesn't reflect the more cosmopolitan view quite as well.

Very true. I think Boxing is doing slightly better here in the UK than it seems to be doing over there, though no one has the boxing history of the U.S.

It is still actually the second most watched sport in the world too, so worldwide I don't think it's as bad as we seem to think, popularity wise.

UK or Europe as a whole. If they are selling out 50k stadiums for Vitali v. Adamek, it's doing quite alright in Poland too. Good read though. I need to digest it a bit more before I see how i feel about it.
