- W2110344515 abstract "PRIZEFIGHTING IN THE UNITED STATES HAS DEVELOPED as an urban phenomenon, an emphatically—although not exclusively—male, working-class, and minority practice. From early on, it has epitomized a bastion of immigrants’ rags-to-riches sagas, a stronghold of pride for those at the bottom of the nation’s socio-economic ladders. According to estimates, the number of active U.S. prizefighters today is somewhere between 8,500 and 10,000; of them about 5 percent reaches the world championship level. Nevertheless, this group contributes to a lion’s share, roughly 80 percent, of the sport’s international financial revenue; thus, the United States can boast hosting some 40-50 percent of all world championship title bouts within its national borders.

Since the mid 1990s, however, the African American jewel of the crown, the heavyweight division, has been experiencing a crisis, one that has resulted in plummeting viewer rates, fewer sponsorship deals, and less primetime television exposure. As a result, the powers-that-be have shifted their focus to other saleable athletes in the lighter weight categories, and the pugilistic spotlight has gradually steered" @default.
