they are getting less and less thats for sure! i think your most likely right and its ashame. if they had more free fights on regular hbo i think it would help the sport immensly. i mean i have hbo and the main reason is to watch boxing. my dad had it while i was growing up for the same reason, but nowadays u dont get near the ammount of fights as we used to get! . i dont mind paying for a ppv when it is a huge event, and a stacked card with a few championship fights, but thats few and far between! all the ppv people want is money, and could care less about the popularity of the sport! it's sad, but true!

I really wish ESPN would step up to the plate and improve the quality of their FNF fights. They have the eyes and ears of sports fans.
Ocasionally they have a good one, but how many times are we forced to watch Dominic Guinn?

It would help if they paid these fighters more than $5.25 per hour (3 pounds)

They also did a pay per view a while back that wasn't too bad in retrospect (McCline-Brock, Cintron-Margarito) and it was only 30 bones.

Calzaghe - Kessler was free too.

W. Klitschko vs. Ibragimov and Povetkin vs. Chambers will be free.

But the quality of ESPN fights has declined. I mean, who really wants to see Guinn vs. Hawkins?

Instead of having prospects all the time. Which is cool dont get me wrong. They should throw on a few more like 3rd line grinders in addition to the prospects.

Yeah ESPN's fights are usually not all that.

Jones-Trinidad shouldn't be PPV

Hopefully we'll have some big fights not on PPV
