How Much Boxing Do You Actually Watch?

[eagle]

I watch as much as i can, altho its not easy in Australia because boxing gets such little exposure here, and many of the big overseas fights dont even get shown. I like watching old fights i've collected, and seein how prospects are doing when i can.

I wonder why?.....Is the sport of boxing just not popular there or is it that maybe there are not an over abundance of Austrailian fighters?

Not to sound stupid but what is the biggest sport there? Rugby?

Australian Rules Football is the biggest sport, and even tho i like and have played the game a lot it takes too much focus off other sports. The back ten pages of some papers are always taken up by footy. Rugby League probably second.
I think we have some good fighters from or based in oz, Green Mundine Katsidis Darchinyan Soliman Briggs, to name a few but no real standout stars. Kostya was the last real big name champ. Maybe we need a really big name to put the sport back on the map. If KAtsidis could win as a massive underdog against Diaz, or say a Billy Dib could come good it might help.
