    Why Doesnt Boxing Get Its Own Channel On Basic Cable?

    We all know about the war between UFC and Boxing. UFC has spike tv which everyone has. Boxing has HBO, Showtime and Skysports which none are actualy free channels. I think the sport would really benefit if one of those broadcasting channels became completely free and only charged for PPV's every once and awhile and not for fights including shannon briggs

    Money, if boxing was unified I think it would have enough power to garner it's own channel. However, it isn't.

    P.S. do you think you are jesus?

      Their was talks, years ago of having a all boxing channel. From what i remember it was going to be like a ESPN classic showing nothing but old fights. Showtime agreed, HBO about did untill Don King tryed to get involved then I never heard about it again.
