Should African-American boxers like Davis, Spence, and Crawford start to fight on Black Friday like Mexicans do with Cinco De Mayo and Mexican Independence Day?
We hear fighters like Crawford, Stevenson, and Farmer say they’re not marketed correctly so would fighting on Black Friday make them stars?
What is the best holiday date which doesn't face a lot of competition from other major US sports.
I do like the idea of a certain date which becomes known for an event like Canelo and Cinco De Mayo or whatever for promotion.
I also liked the idea of a card full of fights between promoters, like Matchroom vs TR they were talking about recently.
Anything to try and move the needle, the current situation of not making the best fights in favour of in house fights to protect belts, marinating fights for years, promoters not working together etc is slowing killing the sport. Something needs to change.
Dana White is getting in the boxing game right? He has a deal with ESPN already with the UFC, Bob aint getting any younger, has this been discussed already, I assume so and I just missed it?
The UFC like doing cards near 4th of July and New Years.

Should probably try a bit harder when considering dates
-Holy Saturday (Saturday before Easter; March/April)
-4th of July weekend.
-MayDay (last Saturday of August in advance of Labor Day)
-Thanksgiving (odd date for PPV; pretty great date for a major fight on FOX/CBS/ABC)

Black Friday has absolutely nothing to do with being African American; it's an inventory clearing day for retailers to cash in before the holiday shopping season (that's warped into a whole other situation once folks turned the inventory dump into a shopping day).
1. Black Friday has nothing to do with black people in specific or black culture
2. Ain't nobody home on Black Friday. They're trampling each other trying to get a $200 television at Walmart.
What in the actual hell does black Friday have to do with black people? Black history month might perhaps be a more appropriate and workable window for that, wouldn't it?
So you’re saying African-Americans can’t go shopping on Black Friday? That’s wrong.
Everybody does! The Black in Black Friday is referring to companies' profits.
Maybe fights should be on Thanksgiving, since everyone is gathering and eating together with free time to watch tv.

Black Friday isn't for African Americans.
Maybe MLK JR day?
Why don't more fighters fight on BET like andre ward? Can you imagine the insane amount of ppv buys Davis would generate on Martin Luther king day being led in by 106 and park?
That's a good date to bring more ppv buys from a certain demographic. Davis should start fighting twice a year just like Canelo but instead of the two mexican dates, he should fight on black Friday and Martin Luther King date.
