If I were to use 30's movies to get an idea of what sports were the most watched I'd say it was college football, horse racing, and boxing. I've seen more movies featuring those three sports than any other. In "King for a Night" Bud Williams (Chester Morris) got into boxing. He was always fighting anyway so he may as well have been getting paid to do it.
Bud's biggest problem was his ego. He had an oversized ego before he even stepped into a ring. His other problem was his temper. It got him into several fights and even led him to slapping the woman he was on a date with. If he stopped at slapping it would've been enough, but he carried it so far as to kick her out of her OWN car and make her walk back home. He didn't allow her to walk back home as he'd threatened, but it was clear he was a bully.
Bud was on a path of being a pretty despicable character until his sister Lillian (Helen Twelvetrees) got into trouble. It was then that he showed what true character he had underneath his gruff exterior.
