Thanks for this latest update, John.

Now what would be REALLY great, is a list of the number of active boxers each year! I know that lots of fans would be interested in this. So if one day you have nothing else to do...

[Ric]

John, may we have an update (semi-annual?) on the numbers?

[Ric]

Thanks for this latest update, John.

Now what would be REALLY great, is a list of the number of active boxers each year! I know that lots of fans would be interested in this. So if one day you have nothing else to do...

While waiting for the final 2013 tally - let me reiterate how welcome the number of active boxers for each year would be! We hear again and again, how the talent pool was much bigger in "the good old days", with lots and lots more active boxers than today - but I've never actually seen any numbers to support this claim. So that would be very interesting to know!

If that's not possible, can someone come up with a rough estimate, just for a single year - say 1930? The year with the most fights in BoxRec's database!

Thanks!
Bouts per decade? Per year?

[Bundana]

Thanks a lot John - active boxers by year! WOW... much appreciated.

[Bundana]

Hi John (or whoever may be able to help),

I'm in the middle of researching the 1920s, and desperately need the number of fights that ended in a DQ during that decade (from Jan. 1, 1920 to Dec. 31, 1929).

I don't know, how hard (or easy?) it is to extract this number from the database - but if at all possible, It would be greatly appreciated, if someone can help me with this.

And (if it's not too much to ask!) to be able to compare with today, the same number for this decade (2010s) would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Bundana

[Ric]

John? May we get the "End of the Year", etc., stats?

[Ric]

John, please figure out and let us all know the stats for this very crazy Covid year of 2020.

[John]

2019 Jan -> Nov = 23683 bouts
2020 Jan -> Nov = 8154 bouts

[DavidKehler]

Is it possible to provide the number of bouts in the database that were held in the United States, by year?

Can we get an update on active boxers per year, please?

[Jens S]

Do you have the numbers for womens boxing? How many fights per decade? And the individual years?

[Bundana]

Any chance we could have the total number of active boxers for 2019 (last full year before Covid)?

We have the total number of fights for the year (30,900), but we miss the number of boxers.

Thank you
