Good, Versus is starting to become a minor player in boxing. I like it.

This is GREAT news! Because younger audience watches versus channel do the the WEC mma fights and tapout show hopefully this helps capture some of that younger crowd.

Was pretty much the word around the campfire, good work VS.

It might be a downgrade from ESPN but the fact that the show will remain on TV is good news, imo.

I liked Season 1 (mostly because of Peter Manfredo, who I have known since he turned pro), they kinda lost me in Season 2 but I thought last season was great.

Looking forward to the official word that it's been picked up.

I pay for the second highest tier on Dish and both Showtime and HBO and still can't get Versus. Sigh...

It can be on the Oxygen channel for all I care, as long as I get to watch it I'm happy.

Yea, me too. It really sucks too. I will have to pay an extra $15 bucks a month for it. I may just do it because I know they will have the contender and new boxing matches promoted by Golden Boy among others.
