    My cable provider doesn't even carry ESPN Classic. I can't even watch the Wlad fight today. It's not even NFL or NBA or college football season, on a boring sports Saturday yet ESPN still refuses to give boxing any coverage... a heavyweight unification (well not technically but you know what I mean) can't even be aired on ESPN 2? They have to show it on ESPN Classic? What a joke.

      I'm in Canada & they show a reply a couple hours after the card.I just make sure I don't go on this site to spoil the results for me.I'd like to watch it live but I'll settle for a replay an hour I'd 2 later.sometimes I got to wait until the next day.sad thing I'm in Canada & I don't have versus network in my cable package so couldn't watch the pascal fight.heard it was good.

          We have to ***** and moan to them in unison. If this had happened to another sport they would have been flooded with emails, as boxing fans we have to ***** to them directly and then maybe we won't get disrespected like this.

            EDIT: I read it was on ESPN Classic live.
            Yeah it was but that's a pay channel. You have to have a special sports package to view it.

              Then don't have the ****ing fights then. Why shouldn't we blame them you moron? They advertised the fights all week and change it at the last second. Why you siding with them?
