    How come....

    Everytime there is a fight on PPV, HBO, or Showtime, it's impossible to catch the results of the fight(s) on Television? I have Showtime and HBO, and I use the internet regularly, but there are times when I can't see a fight and am not near a computer to look up the results. Is there any shows out there that cover boxing news? (If somebody says boxing4real I'm going to shoot them in the ****ing head)

    people who dont follow boxing probably only know of one or two heavyweights from the 70's...i dont think boxing is mainstream enough anymore to make the news.

        It's hard to spot, but usually when I want to know the results of a fight I watch ESPNews, I've gotten results of a fight on fight night like at 2am, but it's only on for 10 seconds in between a whole lot of other sports news, that's why it's hard to spot.

          Yeha, I've watched ESPNews a few times before. It's so hard to spot boxing news on it that you'll go insane just trying. They're kinda like SportsCenter, they report on everything except boxing. Baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf, nascar, it's ****ed up. I'm not really a big sports fan outside of boxing and it sucks to have to sit through all that other **** just to find out who won.

            I know, but besides the internet that's your best bet, also if you can connect from your cell phone you can find boxing news. It truly does suck that very little time is given to boxing but then again if it's an all sports channel then they got alot to cover, but i do hate waiting through a 20 minutes of news about other sports to see 2 10 sec clips of what could have been a great fight, usually I come on here & check out the round by round coverage tho.
