Boxing has never went down. In fact it is still as strong as ever. Boxing is a world sport. Go to other countries and you will see it is still very much watched. Mexico, Puerto Rico, Phillipins(sp), Japan,UK,Germany etc.. The only people that say is on the "Slide" is watchers such as yourself, the once-in-awhile-boxing watchers. They only watch hight PPV profile fights mainstream boxing. I cant say the same for MMA. Ive notice its only popular her in the USA. As far as Mayweather and Manny leaving. That wont affect a thing. Thats why promotors build and hype other fighters
