    When was the last time you saw a big fight on primetime network TV?

    I think that phenomenon really started in the late eighties

    The Tyson earbite,really,was the final nail in the coffin for the Heavyweight Championship being considered the biggest prize in sports.
    The migration of boxing from primetime to PPV happened a lot earlier.
