VERSUS is stepping up

Texanballer774917y ago

With Top rank they were putting up so so decent fights up on the air. Now without the Top Rank ties they are putting up good fights with name opponents on FREE TV. This thursday Paul Williams and Chris Arreola in action. October 23- Orlando Salido Vs Cruz Carbajal for the vacant IBF Featherweight Belt November 23- Sakio Bika Vs Peter Manfredo for the IBO Super Middleweight Belt Good job versus. Keep it up :friday:

Telefutura ESPN2 ESPN Classic Telefutura Telemundo Azteca America Showtime HBO Versus Not bad IMO I wish ESPN would step up their boxing efforts a little bit, I remember they slashed their boxing budget in half and it really has suffered since.

Versus puts a lot of money into their shows I believe they pay more then Shobox for cards. Arum really just pocketed the money and gave them bullshit, although there were some good fights on the Arum cards. I am glad other promoters are getting a chance and stepping up (exclusive deals never work out well).

17y ago

Other channels need to step up. like?........there isnt that many that air boxing fights

17y ago

And on Thursday, Dec 11 Versus will show a title fight: Adamek vs. Cunningham, live from New Jersey. Should be a good fight! No shit? This is an awesome matchup for VS.

17y ago

Between these kinds of fights and Legends of the Ring I love Versus.

17y ago

I doubt Versus will ever be more than a basic cable channel but I have love for them because they are showing some good fights.

17y ago

Versus is stepping up? if it is, i'm so happy

17y ago

I'm glad Versus is stepping up. They offer more interesting fights than FNF does too.

That's nice. Good to see another network being dedicated to boxing and putting on good fights. Nice to see this from the network that Tye Fields built.

17y ago

Versus is really commited to boxing, they will also have the new season of "The Contender" Arum really fucked them over giving them shit card after shit card.

17y ago

17y ago
