MMA Live is a great weekly show on espn.com. Each episode is filled with the week's mma news and it's about 40 minutes long. Friday Night Fights doesn't spend enough time on the news and discussing the sport. MMA Live is quality production too, it's in the same studio as they use for the rest of ESPN's shows.

My suggestion: flood ESPN's inbox with emails.

i agree...sometimes i pay more attention with the discussion than some of the fights ..

Here is this week's episode of mma live. You don't have to watch the whole thing, but you can get the picture. Boxing fans would jump all over this, especially the ones from the UK with Steve Bunce's show off the air.

Good luck with that, boxing fans are the absolute worse at getting their voice heard. I agree though, people would be surprised how much impact an email flood has.

The problem with MMA live is, outside of Kenny Florian(who tries to be objective). They dont know **** about MMA.

So, if you want a Boxing show where the broadcasters think Pacquiao is undefeated and is the best thing since Salvador Sanchez. Bring on the boxing show.

That's no different than any other sport on ESPN. Skip Bayless is an idiot, as it half the cast on Around the Horn and Tony Cornhieser. They still, like MMA live, bring news and have interviews with all the big names in the sport.

First take, PTI, and Around the Horn is the ****. I love watching them all, it makes me laugh my ass off. Until I hear Lebron is the best, TO isn't good, or when they accused Jay Cutler of being a crybaby. Those kinda things piss me off.

If you want to see Brian Kenny argue with Mayweather about Pacquiao never having a loss.

There's a weekly boxing show on ESPN Deportes called "Golpe a Golpe" (it's in Spanish). I've seen MAB on there as commentator. Pretty good show and analysis, but I'm guessing you're looking for one in English.
