Reason why I am bringing this up is, there is a lot of boxing outside of America. Aussie, British, and Euro.

We a poll taken a few short weeks ago. Fourteen said no to the Euro, Aussie suggestions. Seven said yes to Euro, and two said add both.

If the seven people are serious, that is enough to add such a forum.

I dont want to get into the British forum and what happened to it at this time.

In a global forum, all boxing outside of America can be done.

I am leaving this poll up for 30 days. By that time we can get a good idea if you want such a forum or not.

The staff need to do whats best for the site here and not what the members think. Sometimes the members mean well but dont have the faintest idea whats what. Add the british boxing forum back in. Maybe name it british and commonwealth boxing forum. It will get listed on all search engines and british fans are watching the fights in droves these days. people will be typing in key words like british boxing forums all the time. I know ive done it in the past. Other sites like BS.com will be getting all the action now. The amount of british posters has increased massively since that section was added.

Also, Europeans watch a LOT of british boxing.

The forum will be like the previous one. Not much action in it.

Yeah the British forum was lame. It got like 2 new post a month. Not even the British posters went there.

I know Tommy, but why add a forum if a members dont support it? That is why I am doing a poll. To get a general idea.

If I knew a global forum would get decent support, I would do it right now. I am unsure if it will. So therefore the 30 day poll.

Eight days was not long enough to gauge real interest.

This is " the global boxing section "

Should we refrain about talking about joe calzaghe and ricky hatton in this " United States boxing Section "

To get an idea as to how it will work, look here:

Global Boxing Scene - Boxing Forum

Yes I see some discussion over Hatton and Calzaghe.

Truth be said, we may be doing a lot of foreign fighters discussion already. Just in the wrong forum.
