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.
