I have to believe they received a threatening lawsuit or injunction and shut down the show immediately. I sure hope they get the program back up and running...
Re: lawsuit
They might not have broken the law at all, but someone can get a temporary injunction to halt all activities while it's being determined by a judge whether or not a law or right has been violated. I agree that they only talked boxing, but with 50,000+ downloads a week with some shows on iTunes podcasts, a promoter, a broadcaster, or competitor may have used comments about illegal streaming or language continually critical about a person or company to convince a judge to order a cease and desist of the show while evidence is considered. Any person or corporation can sue you, even if they won't ever win.
Or Ric and John are just done with it for unknown personal reasons.
Best show on boxing, I hope they return soon...
I just read this on another forum:

I'm tempted to get in touch with Ricardo Lois and John Chavez myself to find out...

You are right..they have totally went AWOL , site down , no twitter address etc etc
Regarding the podcasts , is there a site that tells you how many listeners etc...i listen to quite a few of the boxing podcasts and would love to see how many listeners or downloads they get
cheers
