Boxing in UK is popular for one reason only and that's Ricky Hatton. Most(about 99%) of UK boxing fans know barely anything about boxing(the 1% are on this forum). I have had many conversations where peeps tell me they like boxing, I ask who are your faves and I get the same answer EVERY time:Tyson,Hamed,MAB etc(fighters from 10 years ago!).
The most you'll see in a newspaper about boxing is 2 pages and that's for a Hatton fight. Other than that, 1 small column is usually used.
