Was there any promotion for tonight's fight???

Do you seriously think i pay attention to boxing as much as you guys? .

Then you should probably leave the smart comments to us guys.

HBO has run a few spots over the last few days, but this is my main problem with boxing. Boxing is losing the younger generation due to not having enough free TV. Heck if you don't have HBO then you don't even get the fight. The Promoters have to step-up and start campaigning these up and coming fighters to free TV. Oh well enough rambling.........

I just think that fight promotion is a dead art nowadays. Here is the formula:

They take a big fight to get an HBO date, maybe even a decent co-main event, then stack the undercard with local ticket sellers in complete mismatches to fill the house.

Basically, it's the fighters who promote the show nowadays.

That's funny, as this page was loading that was the exact same sentence I was going to write if someone had already posted my original thought.

hahahahaha

I swear i haven't seen any commercial promoting mosley/margarito..

or am i just ****** that i need glasses??

I mean tv aint really into boxing. But the HBO ratings are going to be good and the arena turnout is very good. So, I mean the promoters shouldn't be slammed on this fight. They just didn't put together a great card. That's the one thing I'd rip them for.

It's on regular HBO rather than PPV, so the hype machine wasn't goin full blast. Didn't need to anyway. This fight is gonna be ill, the place sold out, and only a fool would miss it.
