Bullfighting is almost as old as human civilization. The first records of a bullfight date from around 2,500 BC. The origin is almost certainly religious ritual. The ancient Romans brought bullfighting to Spain, where it later - and until the 19th century - became closely connected with all kinds of religious festivities.
In some parts of Spain (and in many of Spain's former colonies in Middle and south America) it is still popular as a traditional spectator sport, with many now bloodless varieties. Why people participate? Mostly, because it's a job. Why people like to watch? In the case of the bullfighting-to-the-death varieties, for the same reason they watch traffic accidents or a guy walking a tightrope across the Niagara falls.
Bullfighting is important for more than just cultural reasons. The industry employes thousands of people around the world, not just the toreros but also those employed by the bull ranches and bullrings and management. There are also those who sell refreshments and souvenirs at the bullring who depend on bullfights for a living. Hotels and restaurants in the area of the bullring make a lot of money from those attending. The tourist industry also would suffer if bullfights were completely banned in many countries as there are aficionados all over the world who travel to both Spain and Mexico to watch these events.
Although many are against the sport of bullfighting and, therefore, do not see any good in it others would argue that bullfighting provides thousands of jobs, both directly and indirectly. It provides tax money. It also brings in tourist dollars for those who come to see the fights and stay in hotels and pay for restaurants.

None. Bullfighting is not considered a sport but an art form.
Bullfighting in its current form developed in Spain although many ancient cultures had some form of bull taunting or bullfighting.
