    Floyd is the only way boxing would ever have a chance on Network TV

    Hate him or Love him... he does help the sport get more attention when he fights... mma/ufc, have already made network tv debuts.... boxing hasn't.... but a huge floyd fight could possibly do that...

    Telefutura is a network and a big one and they've had free fights for years.

    Sadly, it's all going away now.

      Only problem is that after watching him fight they wont ever give boxing on network tv again.

          What you need is a young/fresh fighter that has "ATG/phenom" ability written all over him; HW preferred. He has to have that "It" factor.

          Have him fight at least once a month on network TV and have him travel around the World fighting. Cover all his fights from his first pro fight on.


          It's a dream...but maybe that dream will come true

            I dont see how, given Floyd only fights 1-2x per year. On top of that, he retires after every fight.

                  please......

                  floyd ain't the savior of ****.

                  we need to look for someone young and exciting from america to excite the masses.

                  sadly with how our olympic boxing is doing......as well as how network coverage of olympic boxing is nowadays......that's not gonna happen.

                    ***** PLEASE!.

                    De La Hoya pulled in the viewers and so did Hatton, before that no one could give a flying **** about Floyd.

                    SMH.
