Where's boxing?

Sorry @SpartacusSystem ...It wasn't in that top 10
I found a few slightly different "world's most popular sports" top 10s but none of them were ideal IMO..
None of them had ALL the Sports that I wanted to include...
I would have really liked to include Athletics,Motorsport,Boxing,UFC/MMA,Rugby,Ice Hockey,Aussie Rules Football & more..
I considered that if I selected my own 10 then it may fail to be representative of other Countries favourites..
I was surprised that Field Hockey was in there TBH...

The site has all the wrong info, football is watched by all countries so its viewership is very high more than stated on the site. Whereas cricket is watched by only a handful of countries and it comes to one of the lowest.

Football- Last World Cup Final in 2014 was watched by a reputed billion people worldwide
Also like MMA, such as the UFC and Bellator

Didn't know if anyone on MT watched MMA, let alone Bellator.

Thank you all for your votes and comments so far...
I am a little surprised to see Basketball in clear second place...
With the Olympics less than a week away,..What events are MT members looking forward to watching?
I really enjoy (like many) the 100 m sprint.

Played Phil Taylor in the pub once... Lost horribly!! His first throw was a 180 and it was game over right from there!!

Also played Eric Bristow... Got to the doubles which is no mean feat against a former world champion!
