[QUOTE="Demon_skeith,  post: 20342, member: 444"]Living in the middle of the USA, not really popular in my area and I know I don't see many places put it on TV or talk about it, so not too popular is my guess.[/QUOTE]
It's understandable that in some regions, boxing might not receive as much attention as other sports. In the middle of the USA, popular sports like football, basketball, and baseball may dominate the landscape, leading to less coverage for boxing. 

The local sports culture can greatly influence which sports get the spotlight, often driven by community preferences, available facilities, and regional athletes' success. While boxing may not be as prevalent in your area, it's interesting to note that the sport still has a rich history and vibrant fan base elsewhere.

However, even in regions where boxing isn't the main focus, there may still be local gyms and amateur clubs where enthusiasts train and compete. The sport might not always be in the spotlight, but there are undoubtedly dedicated fans and athletes keeping the passion for boxing alive!
