How Much Boxing Do You Actually Watch?

[THE THIRD MAN]

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?

The Fox cable network have some live Friday night Boxing promotions 'Fenech fight night'' usually with guys whose record will read 8-20-2 or something like that. Last week a guy was in his 7th pro fight without a win and you guessed it... lost again!
There are less than 200 registered boxers in Australia so it's very difficult for promoters to put on consistently good promotions. The sports channels are dominated by Australian Rules Football, Cricket, Rugby and Soccer is growing in popularity here.
I buy most of the pay for views from the states and some channels show old fights, watched Camacho v Haugen the other night!
