    Can Versus be a Legit Boxing Network?

    I mean compete with Hbo Boxing after Dark/ World Championship boxing and Showtimes Showbox and Showtime Championship boxing?

    The Hatton Card is stunning to me for it to be on free cable tv. If they can get a name like Ricky Hatton in a main event I definitely think they can get good championship fights on this network and cause HBo and Showtime to start putting better cards on for free. They also seem to have a higher budget than Espn and Telefutura

    What do you all think?

    The more boxing televised for free, the better.

      i think its a cool channel for sports lke boxing, mma, etc. even hockey. i dont know if they could be huge for boxing though but you never know. i hate that they always have bullfighing and stuff. they should play old fights and televise more fight nights.

              Naw Idont think they can hang with HBO or Showtime only because the big two have subscribtion money to pay for fights. But I do think that they can be bigger than ESPN for boxing. They can be like the USA network in the early 90's and have Tuesday Night Fights or something like that. But they are a great channel. I wish them the best and hopefully they can be somewhat like shobox and show up and coming fighters like shobox does, but on basic cable.

                    Absolutely, as long as they play their cards right. The Ricky Hatton fight is huge news, I hope they keep it up.
