      get some ****in advertising on TV for the big fights.

      And get more publicity for the fighters.

      And get SOME media attention on the sport.

      And make the politics a lot simpler so its a sport you can jump into.

        More press coverage. Some fights dont even get mentioned in newspapers.
        Should at least give you results. Could be just like football results. What about using one of the rubbish pages. I dont want to buy a stairlift and I dont wat to go on holiday.
        Would be nice to see more coverage on Radio. in the UK we have a station TALK SPORT with over a million listeners, boxing coverage is minimal. They could have a weekly Boxing phone in, would be good.
        They can manage two show a week about fishing.

          ESPN is a joke, they have every sport you can think of in the ticker at times, results of local pie eating contests but they never run a ticker for boxing, unless its a huge fight, jermaine taylor or PBF fight. they dont even acknowledge anything less then the biggest fight of the year. how hard could it be to add boxing to the ticker

          more people would follow boxers if the results weren't so impossible to get ahold of. ESPN has done one good thing in showing alot of lesser fights on ESPN classic which they recently (relatively) just started doing

          HBO having more classic fights on demand at all times would help some, I know when I get bored I'm always checking on demand for new fights. the casual fan would too if they had a tv channel to watch them on

          thats just off the top of my head

            most promoters and the HBO people are old farts who haven't adapted to the new age and are still doing things the old way. Promoters need to make deals with networks and instead of having HBO Boxing After Dark have it on a major cable network make commercials and get their fighters names out there.. its all about publicity and propaganda now a days.. You put a billboard with Mayweather up saying his the best P4P people will start to get curiouse!
