I just learned the answer to an interesting trivia question:

what was the most recent heavyweight title fight that was shown nationally on network television in the US (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, & must be WBC, WBA, or IBF)????

winner gets a boatload of good karma :)

Damn.....good trivia question.
1st clue (the clue I was given that made me remember): The fight was not on US soil

Bombardier

Ali - Frazier III

good guess, that was live on HBO though, with a replay on ABC I believe (subtle hint in there..... :) )

Bombardier

Ali - Foreman then...that was my other guess after the clue.

After this I'll stop guessing and give someone else a shot.

It wasn't the Rumble in the Jungle....

Or the Thrilla in Manila right?

There have been 4 or 5 on networks since the 70's :) but heck it seems like it's been that long, doesn't it???

Coetzee-Page or Coetzee-Weaver?

Can you really deliver the "boat load" of karma you promise.

Bombardier
06-09-2005, 02:18 PM
Foreman - Briggs ?!

That was for the linear title, but maybe not an official belt.

that was on HBO too, but leads me to the FINAL CLUE:

George Foreman was involved, but was not in the fight

you're not only wrong, but a day late & a dollar short

Tyson-Seldon was on Showtime pay-per-view, Moorer-Schulz was the correct answer

Tyson vs Seldon was free on Fox Network. I remember watching it from a hospital on 1996 7th September 1996.

Moorer fought Shulz on June-22 1996 for the Vacant IBF Title.

Hey listen, young man, I don't know what you're trying to poison these children's mind with, but I promise you if you let me catch you doing that again, I'm going to go to jail and you're going to go to the morgue.

Well they did replay the Tyson-Seldon fight on Network TV. Because I know I watched that fight with my Dad in a hospital. And I remember it was on Network TV.

Hey Listen, guy...

..I don't take those kind of lies lightly. If I ever catch you crossing into my territory again, you're going to have some serious problems.

I don't know what kind of sick, sick person you are, or what you're trying to do to my boxingsceners...but if I catch you doing it again, son...I'm going to really become a *****.

McKay, cant you ever admit you are wrong? You are a walking contradiction waiting to happen.

1st:

Had to listen to the stupid **** about how Golota was going to kill brewster. That I found hilarious.

2nd:

Have to hear about how Judah would get killed by Gatti. This I find borderline pathetic

3rd:

Have to hear about how Mayweather is going to get knocked out by Gatti. You are just setting yourself up to look really retarded.
