    Why is this happening!!!?????

    Seriously, why is HBO B.A.D and ShoBox both experiencing poor ratings!!? All the damn Boxing fan's on the internet and around the world and we can't even tune in. This is the dumbest things I've heard of. Stay home and watch Boxing. Support our sport because nobody understands it but us. If I miss Boxing I'd lose my mind. It's not because I don't have anything better to do, it's for the simple fact that I love it. So whatever you so called Boxing fans are doing that is soooo important you can't watch Boxing, stop it. Support Boxing!!!!

        Where have you been reading that the ratings have been crappy?

        The Delahoya vs Forbes and Hopkins vs Calzaghe were very good ratings, sure they aint doing what they did when George Foreman fought on HBO or when Trinidad fought Whittaker, but they are doing good ratings.

        I would like to know where you are reading that the ratings have been bad.

            On this damn site!! Where I get most of my Boxing news. I forgot which article it was but it was about the upcoming B.A.D show. And they said ratings are going down. What the hell is this about? I see this site full of Boxing fans just like me. And I've been on plenty more sites just like this. Why aren't we watching!!? It's up to us to show all these mainstream people whats up. Boxing won't die, but it's up to us to keep supporting it.

              It's us who are watching. It's the mainstream audience who they are probably losing. I remember the first B.A.D. broadcast Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Kennedy McKinney, ah the good ole days.

              I also hardly ever catch Showtime fights live since I only have HBO as my premium.
