The main difference is that Golf gets the right kind of attention and boxing doesn't. In golf you get to see the best players competing against each other in the majors. In boxing you get to see two guys,one of whom has a 20/0 and the other a 2/14 record fight each other for one of the twenty alphabet titles in one of the million weight divisions. And the casual sports fan believes that these are actually the best fighters in the world because he or she doesn't get to see (and so doesn't know) the real stars of the sport unless he or she pays $50,and even that option is only available to the happy few. How popular do you think baseball or basketball would be if people never got to see the major teams? How popular do you think tennis would be if they only televised some minor Grand Prix tournaments and if we had a WTA,WTC,ITO,ITF Wimbledon,US Open,French Open and Australian Open champ?
