Boxing fans are loyal; UFC stole fans from Wrestling!

 I thought I’d write a quick, informative article on the “rumors” that UFC has stole fans away from the sport of Boxing.

You see this is far from the truth. There are 80 million boxing fans worldwide, 30 million domestically in the U.S. and according to Nielsen Media research, only 5% of Boxing fans watch UFC regularly.

In fact, it seems that no one is even paying attention to the fact that wresting is down in ratings since UFC surfaced as a popular Combat Sport. What many people fail to realize is how large the Boxing market really is compared to UFC. In many countries, boxing is the only combat sport where UFC isn’t even recognized.

Just goes to show how loyal the Boxing fans truly are. Come good or bad, we are still here and have never left the sport like many want to believe!

Just thought I’d share.
