Will boxing ever rise again in the USA???

[TheDemolitionDan]

If you mean that boxing is the second most popular sport, sadly that's not even close, boxing isn't even in the top 10 most popular sports either in viewing figures, money generated or number of participants.

I saw a poll on ESPN...or some sports outlet a few weeks back, so pretty recently, and they had Boxing as the 2nd most popular sport worldwide and that poll had about 800,000 people vote.

lol an ESPN poll like the viewers of that American Channel make up the whole world

The whole world is a big place my friend and you'll suprised what some of these countries like to watch.

The most popular sport hands down is football (soccer).

Then follows Cricket, Hockey (field hockey suprisingly), tennis and I believe volleyball.

Also increibly popular are Formula One, Table Tennis, Basketball, Horse Racing, Rugby etc.

I imagine every single one of those sports has far higher viewing figures around the world than boxing, Formula One aside more people play those sports too, and most of these will gross more money annually as well.

Judo is I believe the second most popular sport in terms of participation as well.

Soccer I do agree with, it was number 1 in that poll and Soccer is number 1 around the world. Cricket, Field Hockey, Tennis, and Volleyball I can't see.

I see Cricket like Baseball it's very popular, but around the world I don't think it really is. Field Hockey I doubt because I've never even heard of it and it doesn't sound like a year around sport and some countries couldn't play it because of weather and other circumstances, same with Volleyball.

Horse Racing isn't popular like it once was, F1 is very popular around the world, but I think Boxing is more popular...F1 was 5th most popular in the poll, Rugby is like American Football here in the States...it's not really worldwide, but Rugby is more worldwide than Football though. Basketball I would say is more popular than Boxing, but in the poll Basketball was 3rd, shockingly.
