Does boxing need America

[Steak]

I agree that this has been a great year for boxing. All I'm saying is that outside of the boxing world, it's hardly made a splash in the United States. If you want boxing to grow in the states, you should be concerned with getting new fans. Currently, I don't see boxing gaining many new fans.

Ive actually started having lots more boxing talk with people that Ive never talked about boxing with before.

but I see what youre saying, they need to get waaaaaaaaay better fights on ESPN or on other stations, that arent as hard to get as HBO. I cant even imagine if someone like De La Hoya fought on ESPN, it would catch a lot of eyes.

DLH said that he wanted to fight on a regular channel thats not HBO for his tune up fight.So it could reach ESPN.
