I was talking about last week. And you'd be lucky if 100 Americans could id Briggs from a picture.
Ah.. It was decent here. Every other bus stop has a poster..

Also, I reckon more Brits know Briggs than Merican's.. :lol:

Boxing is not what is once was in US.. Probably ranked #5 best sport?
Nah I don't think its even that high.

Football
Basketball
Baseball
Hockey

Then I think games like Tennis and Golf will easily beat boxing.

If you count motorsports then probably you get few more before boxing.

Probably some others that I can't think of right now too.

Of course it depends on the criteria used. If you go by people participating then many track and field sports are easily ahead too. If you rank by viewing figures then boxing just might fit in top 10.
I know college football is huge in US.. Which isn't the same as NFL? Even the WWE is more popular than boxing, and that's not even a genuine sport.

No way. Definitely behind NFL, college football, NBA, college basketball, MMa, golf, baseball and soccer. On ESPN it's just above the wwe!
